Want to say he was like #47 overall that year

The CN Tower? That was so cool.

Welcome to the rebels.

They weren't going at 100% every pitch. Look up the average fastball over the years.

Why not both?

That's more than I expect.

Ope.

Nice

In CF.

Like is preventing smaller injuries actually leading to more large injuries from, for lack of a better description, because we allow it to get to the point of the body breaking down in big ways, that can't be prevented?

With the huge number of major surgeries we have seen this year, I definitely wonder if we are running into some sort of unintended consequences, at best, this year. For all of the hate Don Cooper got at the end, his guys basically never had TJS, and we led MLB in least injuries over a very long term period of time.

Yoan went through the same thing. Eventually if you aren't Steroid Barry they are going to make you hit. Guys have to figure out selective aggression and ambush hitting. Smash a few first pitch fastballs and that will quickly end.

Stop personally attacking other posters. No reply needed.

It's really not though. MLB is tough. Pitchers adjust. Then we see what the kid is made off.

I am sure he will be sent down for someone else's DFA shortly.

As of now I would guess Shane Smith. There are WAY more good corner players and you need a ton of pitchers

I am glad I am not the only one who had this take

I am guessing the problem was the potential doxxing.

In a case like this, you need a front office who backs you up and gives a consequence to the offending player. Suspension, send down etc. But if you have half of the front office going one way, and the other half plotting a coup, meanwhile Jerry figuring out how to install his buddy in a power position, well you have seen how that works out.

And Rick didn't have a say in hiring Tony, very obviously.

It has to be as an Opener, right?

And guess who is still roaming the system as a "special advisor"?

I know Hahn has become shorthand for blame around these parts, but to be frank what has changed since then? It's been almost two years now, and you can only point the finger at so many soon to be ex-players. Why are we still not able to call up a kid from the minors that we can trust and/or who has a grasp on fundamentals? Why do we keep having to look outside of our minors to find guys who already know how to work hard? Over these last couple of years, why has no veteran had a turn around since all of these changes took place? There is a lot of talking, fingerpointing, and PR releases, but I still see the same picture.

I remember this question being asked, and was looking up the Sox front office for something else, but there might be some other interesting names listed on here.

I thought the story there was he might not have been told the whole truth there?
