  1. See, my definition of boring would be knowing that something was going to end in failure almost every single time, yet still pretending to be exited about it because once years ago, someone did something positive. It would be like having an audience for people buying lottery tickets as a spectator sport.
  2. f*** Frank Thomas, I need to see my starting pitcher pull a hamstring running to first on a dribbler!
  3. Knowing someone is going to fail 90% of the time isn't "strategy". It's masochistic. Did you like the excitement of Martin Maldonado get his monthly hit too?
  4. Repeat after me... You can never have too much pitching.
  5. Beckham with Schiff in ARL. Stone and Schriffen have been together for 1 of the last 6 series. Not sure about before those 6.
  6. Those dudes also threw slow pitch softball speeds.
  7. I am sure it is this. Again, none of these guys have gone through a full major league season. Burke has gone over 100 innings in a season once in his college/MiLB/MLB career until this year. He hit 108 innings in 2022, and it is over 117 this year. He made it through 71 2/3 last year, and 36 in 2023. Again, this is why we needed more pitchers.
  8. Two things here. #1, the debt service at Sox Park is a fraction of that number, and should be easily be retired before a new stadium is opened. #2, Sox Park only has debt because more money was spent in 2003 for major construction to redo the park and extend the lease.
  9. And Getz still has not had that experience either.
  10. So far I would give Venable a passing grade. I feel like most of the line up issues aren't in his hands
  11. Most of this is just blue sky hopes and dreams, but this part... Stearns and Getz are nothing alike. Stearns made hay in a small market maximizing everything he touched in Milwaukee, and was stolen away by the Mets after an exhaustive search. Getz failed upwards, had terrible results in his previous role, and was the result of no search at all. They couldn't be more different.
  12. He is in the running for literally the worst 2 seasons in MLB history
  13. With the IF we have, an even meh level LF level for Vargas would help things along.
  14. I am not punting on Taylor yet, but this is exactly why you can't just pencil guys in to star for you. MLB is hard. It can take time, if ever.
