Milkman delivers

I just don’t care enough about another team to start following them. I would simply stop watching baseball. MLB as a whole should be more concerned than JR about that mindset, as I’m positive I’m not the only person in that boat.

I dunno. Give me the millions of dollars they’re making and I probably don’t care how the team is doing either.

Is Triston McKenzie not the whitest name you’ve ever heard?

I’m not arguing whether or not he was overpaid. I’m not even sure he’s referring to himself in that quote. But he’s definitely taking a shot at the organization.

I know you said “potential”, but people are way too high on Crochet. It’s been three games. Same as Robert, he won’t be a factor for this team by the time they’re in contention again. We don’t need to protect him. We need to trade him as soon as he has value if the right trade comes along.

That is definitely a shot at the Sox.

It really sucks that we need to wait for someone (JR) to pass away for any of this to change. I don’t want to hope for something like that. It feels terrible to give in to thoughts like that. But he won’t sell the team and he obviously won’t do the things necessary to turn the franchise around, so it’s the only way we will ever have a respectable organization again.

Caulfield likey basketball.

Also, if you let him finish out the year, he’s gotta be challenging for the worst managerial record of all time by win-loss percentage, right?

Mostly ice cream and bits of burnt logs and ash.

Did people not know they’d be bad? Granted, they’re playing worse than you’d expect, but they were always going to be bad. I have a feeling people convinced themselves they were a slightly below average team. They are worse than last year’s team. That team at least had some talent/potential. This team has almost no talent.

I’m betting somewhere on the leg.

Phew! It’s a good thing JR promoted Getz due to his familiarity with the organization. Imagine where we’d be if we had to wait another full season for a new hire to learn the organization.

Ever see his mullet and facial hair? Motherfucker is filthy at all times.

I genuinely love threads like this where the reaction from everyone is a variation of “who fucking cares”.

That’s a reason we ended up with Grifol in the first place. We missed our opportunity to have the pick of the litter, shat all over ourselves, and then nobody wanted the job (also JR would never pay for a top-tier manager either).

I’m almost 40 haha. What did you think of it?

I disagree with the timeframe of making him a starter, and I think that’s how most people see it. It seems to me that they’re already overworking him and he will be hurt or otherwise sidelined pretty quickly. It’s being rushed, but I know we disagree on that point.

Exactly. Plus he was drafted as a starter and was thrown into the bullpen by the last POS GM. It’s the right move to make him a starter again, but it’s the obvious move and not something I’m giving him a ton of credit for.

The OakSacVegA’s?

It is certainly desperation. I don’t trust this organization to do much of anything right. But Clevinger is better than most of our current rotation without a doubt.

True. But they thought enough of him to bring him back at all in order to improve their chances of winning a few more games.

That doesn’t change what I said. I understand that a lot of you guys don’t want him on the team, but it is abundantly clear that the move makes sense from a win/loss perspective. You guys can just say you don’t want him because you don’t like him. Asking why every other team didn’t make the move has no bearing on why the Sox did. He improves their chances of winning a few more games this year. That is the answer to why they signed him. End of story. Other teams may be, and likely are, avoiding him because they fear what type of negative influence he could have in the clubhouse. The Sox are in the unique position of knowing exactly how he was in the clubhouse last season, and they apparently don’t think it was negative enough to keep him away.

Again, why does that matter to the Sox? They are in a unique position in that Clevinger was actually on their team last year. He pitched well and he seemingly didn’t cause any clubhouse issues.
