And to piggy back on this, you never know if a pitchers arm could go, if he can handle throwing strikes consistently you should probably bring him up ASAP

We get it that the trade makes you mad. We all know. Time to move past it and stop dragging down conversation

Keep your thoughts about the movie in here so we don't spoil anything to someone going through the Marvel Universe thread

Let's just make a separate spoiler thread, probably the best solution

Wite would never spread disinformation like that

I think she will flee to Winterfell before he gets to her, and puts everyone in the same space.

I bet NFL gives him 6 games

I think the Night King flew south to take out Kings Landing and will come north with his newly created army from the dead at Kings Landing. There has to be a reason he wasn't shown last week

No thanks, dude could barely hit it out of the infield last year when they gave him a shot

We both know he spent all offseason working on this. The majors there are those who can and those who cannot, and those who cannot are quickly moved out. He has benefited from his good defense and the rebuild situation that has given everyone time to show if they are ready. This is his third year in the majors, 832 at bats. I don't know what to tell you if you honestly believe a change in grip or batting stance is going to offer him 50ish more hits because he is fast. You still have to hit the ball to race to first, he strikes out a lot too. he is what he is, it's been this way since college

Lol this is true. He didn't really prove that he should have been pushed like he was

I'm having some doubts that they share the same field any time soon

They have one more year of Vinatieri

Nah, you are trying to blame the Sox somehow for him being a poor hitter, which he has always been. If you want to blame them for something, blame them for drafting and promoting him through the system without identifying that his hit tool is awful, which was apparent

Did you not look at his college numbers? He hit .236 in his final year, what do you think?

Maybe you are expecting a unicorn to show up I dunno

Has there ever been a major league hitter that has a major league slash line of .205/.259/.314 that was sent to the minors and came back a .275/.345 and also able to steal 50ish bases? I will hang up and listen

Lol ok man. Good talk

Look, I'm not a Sox development defender by any means, but look at Engels stats including college http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=163282 you don't take a guy and just "make" him into a good hitter. He wasn't a good hitter in college, the minors, and now the majors. There is no flipping a switch, he is a good defender who occasionally gets good runs at the plate which are greatly outweighed by his bad runs

Not a mystery. He is what he is

Thank you for illustrating why young people aren't interested in baseball anymore, top notch

My problem is the uneven enforcement of when people should be allowed to celebrate. It's total bullshit, a homerun is the best possible thing a hitter can do and people are like "nah, not cool to be excited". Fuck that

Learn how to use the board already jfc
