Actually one of the most interesting parts of this is how much Palka's defense has rebounded since he got up here. The first time I looked at his defensive number, he had something like a -55 UZR. He has cut his RF UZR to -25.6 in RF over 240 innings of work. In LF he has played almost nuetral in the 101 innings he has been out there at -2. His full season work is actually only -18.4, which means he is learning on the job. He's still bad out there, but not historically bad anymore. On the season, Palka is actually a + player at 0.2 fWAR, which honestly surprised me. This year in terms of fWAR, Delmonico and Palka have been pretty identical players, with Palka taking a lead if his LF defensive numbers are accurate.

We'll see. If it doesn't work, I will turn it off.

100% this. Challenge the hitters, make them beat you instead of giving up walks.

I even went and added a few more like style reactions from the old days.

This was just done. Agree that it got to be a distraction. All reactions are now positive.

Again, for those who didn't see the other thread, the confused emoji has been disabled. It didn't serve to further conversation with the way it was being used by a few specific postedrs.

After an internal mod/admin conversation and due to a few people posting literally hundreds of "confused" reactions and instead of using it to contribute to conversation using it as a passive aggressive means of detracting from conversation, the reaction has been disabled until further notice.

Apparently you missed the irony being quite literally the most confused poster on Soxtalk.

Are you going to add another confused reaction to this one too?

There we go.

Judging by how often you post your confusion I would agree with your confusion.

I see a left handed version of Matt Davidson.

I would love to know if Shields and Avi have been run through waivers yet, and if that is what is the hold up on call ups for these two.

This is the biggest thing I want to see from Kopech. Throw strikes. His stuff is so good, dare hitters to hit it.

You sound confused again.

Who is that?

Palka Party!!!

To be fair I think you'd rather get a root canal than see Moncada succeed.

He'd already be gone.

I would love to see someone photoshop Palkas face on to that album cover.

PALKA PARTY!
