68 wins is not a great team. 40 wins is the worst team in the history of MLB. I assume you know the difference there. I know you want to handwave this away and keep making false equivalencies in an effort to do so, but this is not "bad". This is historic.

The Sox would need to finish out the season at 51-42 to make 68 wins. They are currently on a 39.9 win pace with a .246 winning percentage. So the idea that everyone knew this would happen is pretty false.

Did you predict a 40 win season? If not, I don't think the "we all knew" applies. We knew it would be bad, but not historically bad. There is a difference.

Cool. Still not ready to bench him for any of the other clown show. We should be collecting players like Julks like Pokemon cards, and not players like Tommy Pham.

Sure, but more spooked when he sees Ohtani going on.

I can't see a scenario where they haven't done exactly that.

The Sox jerseys are so far over and above every other look, I can't even take serious someone who places them 5th.

Looking at the pen as a whole, I am not even sure that it isn't doing within a decent level of expected outcomes #1, things really fell apart when Wilson got hurt, as he was kind of the anchor being middle and late innings. His injury forced up some guys, and it hasn't gone well. #2, is anyone surprised MIchael Kopech is still a mental case? #3, Jordan Leasure has struggled a bit when he has gotten into bigger spots, as a rookie, is it that big of a surprise? #4 John Brebbia has had a really hard regression, but he did go from one of the best pitchers parks in MLB to one of the worst. #5 Tanner Banks is still Tanner Banks #6 Justin Anderon is still Justin Anderson #7 Prelander Berroa clearly wasn't ready #8 Dominc Leone wasn't exactly great last year either, and there is a decent chance that his injury could have been a part of it. #9 Sammy Peralta is still Sammy Peralta #10 Jared Shuster has actually been better this year #11Michael Soroka failed as a starter last year, and failed again this year. he has actually brought down his H/9 and HR/9 numbers, but walks and strikeouts have regressed. Not a huge surprise he is bad as he was before.

This isn't a bad point. Those who cuck Ozzie probably don't want him to Tony LaRussa his career by coming back to look like a moron with this bunch. Leave the fantasy in tact. Let me walk away all dreamy and not as a part of this dumpster fire.

Thanks Mr Obvious, you're a lifesaver.

4/75 would probably be in the ballpark of MV.

Sure, but he could have done that at any point for years now and didn't. And now he is only a couple of years away

No

I'd give it +10000

We need so many position players right now, especially ones with superstar tops.

The ladies love Nicky.

I never feel bad for taking money, I hope they don't either.

That was nasty

Start with half of your payroll on the IL and go from there.

Law does that to a lot of guys Sox fans irrationally attach to.
