9-14 = .391 win% which projects out to 63 wins. Nope, this is pretty much in their lane. But I guess as bad as things have been, the victory lap ceiling gets easier and easier to take.

Game Thread here:

Yeah, I guess it was an appropriate ending for the show, but I definitely was hoping for more. Seemed very anticlimactic.

No surprise there, this is the "infrastructure" part that we always hear legislators say they are willing to pay for.

Glad to see the O extended past Sacramento

If you are going to play him, DH him. It's the batting order that sucks.

That's my wonder, if either they wanted him to move up, or he wanted to move up and they wouldn't commit until after the "process"

I want to be mad at this post, but also

This is a great point. Billy didn't write this.

Definitely this. He's got great power on contact, but making contact consistently has been an issue through the first few weeks. If the pitchers are effective at exploiting him, it could be a long 2 years

Again, I think this is keeping up the show of "Jerry is in charge". Obviously we can see what is happening here.

Ishbia is obviously working behind the scenes. But I still haven't seen it really translate into the daily stuff.

We can all hope, but until Jerry is gone, I am not convinced.

8 years is.... the first year that Ishbia can take over on his own.

The Sox have a chance to fix literally everything they screwed up in the late 80's. Stadium design, stadium location, activities around the stadium, stadium views, etc. Let's do this right.

ANNND they lost Billy Donovan anyway. Quality work there Bulls.

Forget lame "coattails" type of fan crap, If LAD offers him a Dodgers like contract, and the Sox offer him a Sox like contract, THAT should mean something to him.

Game thread here:

"Make them"? Why? They obviously don't want to be there.

Because Jerry won’t pay him. Are you new here?

It does change perspective when he is paying off debt AND buying the team AND paying for a stadium AND paying for a ballpark village...

Less than two years, hopefully. It means he was successful and we dealt him to load up.

The problem is the connected spaces in the loop are much smaller. I am pretty sure you would need to consolidate multiple blocks to make that happen. The only actual space I can think of is the old post office if they were willing to build on top of the overpass.

His health was always going to be the biggest argument against a big extension. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. His fastball speed has definitely dropped off, and he has moved off of his primary fastball in favor of a sinker.
