I had NOT seen the Sox have an option year on the stadium for 2030. That's new to me at least. Also the updated figure of $44.1 million left on the bonds seems pretty small, and I doubt it ends up being an obstruction. They don't list the amortization schedule for it, but between them still having 3 (well really 4) years to still pay on it, I am guessing that it will be either gone, or close enough to gone to not matter, by the time that the new stadium rolls around.

It goes to the quantitative analytics of 2026. Is it better to play for one run, or is it better to play for the big inning? The numbers seem to say it is the big inning, and so far the Ryan Fuller philosophy with the hitters seems to go this way. It's kind of the same thing with going for it on 4th down in the NFL. The odds of expected scoring go up when you go for it more often, but the public glare of failure puts a lot of pressure on teams to go the less productive ways. Thinking of Ben Johnson gifting Carolina a TD on Sunday by going for it on 4th and 1 inside his own 25, statistically the expected scores outcome no doubt was higher if he went for it. But the actual results may vary.

There are absolutely ways this CAN fall apart, but judging by the agencies and cooperation between the directly affected parties, the odds are pretty good that this happens. What form will it take by the time we get there is probably the biggest question, but with Ishbia cooperating with Amtrak and the like, I am not sure what could stop it, except maybe a Worldcom/Enron type financial meltdown.

They literally just ran 9ff the head prosecutor from the International Criminal Court for this type of stuff.

I have to imagine with them just extending the guy, they weren't exactly ready for this.

Based on the TV highlights from the era, many guys got 4 to 6 inches off 9f the corner in application.

The whole point of growing up is to actually grow up. We should be proud to get better. We are did stupid things as kids, and the worst of them I am glad to have learned from.

Can we at least acknowledge that the strike zone was massive in those days, not to mention the average fastball in 1950 was probably somewhere around 80?

Their ops would rank 29th in 2026.

TLDR: It's ok to be trash, I was trash decades ago too!

It COULD happen anywhere, yet seems to happen here a lot. It also took twice people complaining from outside of the organization to make it happen.

2034 is the first year it is up to Ishbia, and rumor is Jerry wants the glory of the 33 ASG.

The chaff has been removed. Next up gets time off.

I got to the 2nd sentence and lold

"I will tell you one thing, I will never pay under slot! Punt a pick? NEVER!"

Again, it tells me the front office know this team wasn't good enough where adding a few guys could power them through. They were already playing for next year. So far Getz looks right.

It doesn't matter what he is "going to be". It matters what he can give you today.

This is one of those, it should be zero, situations. One gets you unemployed.

Well, maybe your first step to understanding the economics 9f the modern draft should be to know who the director of amateur scouting is... well was.

No Joe Crede references? For shame.

And paid a decent price to do it.

It was actually very selective.

Putting threads together of surveys saying this was happening in 2021, a MLB tip leading to an investigation in 2022, and now it happening at a massive and premiere event in public in front of everyone in the baseball world to see, it is obvious this was a long running pattern. If you are comfortable enough to do it this many times AND in front of a baseball whos who at an event like this, he had zero fear of consequences. That's a pattern of behavior, not a one time oops, to get to that point. You don't act like that in public initially, you work up to that over time. That means everyone knew, and everyone allowed it to happen. That's chilling, disgusting, and ultra-dissapointing. Hell it's embarrassing.
