It looked like a post for his new GF, who is apparently even more IG famous then the one he just broke up with.

man that icon is older than I am.

Sox need more good players. Later for all that other stuff. I'm with ozzie on that one. Horse shit players and teams lose games and seasons. Baseball is about 10 guys on any given night doing their own thing to help the club, as far as "leadership" exists it's a base hit or walk down 1 leading off the 9th. That said, we talked about that podcast when he was drafted, it certainly sounds like the Sox got a player.

this thread is awesome guys, some really amazing posts.

I'm approaching Robin esque levels of loathing with Ricky.

I can't even look at the box scores on days I don't watch anymore. it's so bad. only guys I care about are lopez, moncada, TA, GIO and Yolmer. For the most part, that has been a pile of shit. I'm doubting if TA was smart to try and become a completely different hitter. He's going to finish with a lower OBP than his rookie year despite increasing his walk rate massively. There was really not much wrong with 290/310/440 or whatever. If he's going to be a 230-250 hitter meh.

nice, glad there is no real backup ss on the roster. what a shit sandwich this summer has been.

Fair enough. If Hahn fucks this up and the team sucks in 2021 shit can him. I got no great love for the guy. But he deserves, based on what he's done the last two years, to see it out imo.

You're ascribing an awful lot of things to Hahn that were almost certainly out of his control @Balta1701. It's not even clear that Hahn was the loudest voice in the FO until sometime around 2015. It's impossible to untangle the end of KW's tenure with the beginning of Hahn's. All that said, anybody that raid my post yesterday wrt to Eloy knows where I stand on "trust the process" right now. I'm trusting, but I also need to verify. Right now that verification is seeing a guy with an 215wRC+ (lulwut?) in AAA come up and later for worries about 7 years from now in a new CBA.

cool

are you seriously fucking suggesting they keep him down the first two weeks of next year for SUPER FUCKING 2 REASONS??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? WHEN THE CBA IS UP FOR NEGOTIATION in 2021? stay strong when the org is slapping me in the fucking face over some trifle? I'll slap the fuck org back and not pay any attention or spend any money until playoffs then.

STFU and own it. you've been called out.

yea if they only played DH.

this dude's been talking shit the entire thread.

lol who gives a shit about some drunkass on a game thread. I'm not calling the game AS A PROFESSIONAL.

I have watched about 2/3 of the games this year and out of those 70 or so I've had on the opponents broadcast 60 or so. I can't listen to Jason. He doesn't know anything about baseball and it appears that he hasn't taken it upon himself to learn the rule book or ask other more vet announcers how to determine how well a ball is hit off the bat. LIke why would I watch a broadcast where the pbp guy is always behind the action because he doesn't know the rules, like on a pass ball with 1st base occupied or catchers' interference?

I'm fucking sick of Davidson.

free game of the day, lol, good one MLB

I'm still trusting the process but I have serious doubts about Renteria. That said, if next year the MLB team is as bad as it is this year then we got a problem. This has to be the low point.

if they keep eloy down for super 2 reasons next year they can fuck off and I'd reconsider spending any money ever again to see them.

oh totally. it's the old question what comes first winning or chemistry? Well, win first and figure it out. The Sox had shit teams when those guys were here, of course there were some beefs and shit.

The Sox are currently playing Madrigal at SS. That should give you a clue as to how far out they are thinking with him, and perhaps who is the odd man out...

how many guys have the Sox even interviewed the last two managerial changes? 3? Was it even more than Ricky and Robin? Ugh.

I think things are going to come to a head with the fanbase and players if they keep these guys down through the rest of the year. Will it have long term damaging effects? Probably not, but I think only good things can come from calling a couple guys up that deserve it.
