This is one of those ways by evidence that I can be convinced that things might be changing around these parts. So far we have seen none of it.

Yes, that is obviously exactly what he means.

It's just a way to punish the actually innovative teams, by the owners who still believe baseball should be stuck in 1955.

Yes this exactly. And some vague "they have a plan" isn't it. Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth. Or so the saying goes.

If you need to believe they are good to love them, that is a whole different line.

Don't confuse blind optimism for intelligence.

Two months ago he was going to be the opening day starter

I swear. Living in the era of if you repeat it often enough it becomes reality is surreal.

If you continue to apply circular logic that always results in the Sox being perfect, absolutely.

This is exactly what I am afraid of.

Yet they claimed him.

Actions sure do. And as we continue to roster mediocre to terrible older vets instead of taking chances on young players, those actions continue to scream at us.

Or we could be talking about how Padres fans should be panicking.

And of course they are rebuilding. It's the whole reason to take a chance on a Workman type player in the first place.

Or what you are told to think, as the case may be.

Their record is the reality. Dressing it up as some genius master plan isn't reality, it's a sales job.

Wasn't there a rainout or two by this point last year?

We could instead revisit the posts about having too much pitching this spring instead.

Don't piss on my leg and call it rain.

Something with a 1.8% chance means it has something worse than a once in 50 tries chance of happening. Statistically that should happen about once every 50 years, or 1 time since 1975.

How do you market this to one of the biggest bandwagon fan bases in baseball?

Man, the Sox are amazing. It's no wonder they are having the seasons they are.

Which goes back to scouting failure if they got rid of him that quick.

While he was hurt?
