Moncada has added 32 points to his batting average today and about 100 to his OPS.

It would be the most 2022 of 2022 things.

That's literally how this works. Kid agrees to 900k with the Sox. Then he tells everyone else it will take a million plus to sign him, and don't bother if you won't pay because he will just go back to school if not. Other teams pass on him because they have other plans. As Jimmy said, it happens all the time.

They spent last year smashing bad to mediocre teams. They weren't even doing that this year. Seeing as this is the POSITIVE thread, I will just say that I am positive that I enjoy this more, and there 100% is a path to the playoffs just by owning the awful teams in MLB.

Yoan is going to double his ba today.

I know it's your thing, but I think you are overvaluing Jose Abreu on the trade market and completely ignoring the Sox history of not trading the faces of the franchise unless they ask to leave.

The difference between Baez and Abreu is all star defense at premium positions. Also who is looking for a 1B/DH for that kind of price?

Liam is cool af

7.

77 pitches over the previous 5 days.

I was wondering the same.

To me that is kind of the same thing, but yeah, it is probably worth making the distinction,

That low A block of pitchers is going to be so huge to keeping this train rolling longer term. If we get 1 to 2 starters out of them, it allows the flow to keep going even if guys leave.

6 games in a row with 5 or more runs.

For a dude who basically skipped the minors, it is unreal what Andrew Vaughn is doing at the plate. Throw in a last minute position change in each of the last two seasons and you pretty void any argument about the kids make up. Offensively the guy is just going to be a professional hitter. He already has a big IQ at the plate and looks nothing like he has less than 900 professional PAs total. My guess is that the power really turns on in the next couple of years as he truly gets comfortable around with the leagues pitching and starts to feel when to let it rip more.

Bravo. greg is officially not a smart fan according to greg. Now maybe he can quit trolling us.

[Slow nod]

So you have never written about firing a coach or manager?

You hear that Soxtalk? greg just called about 85% of you not smart. I give this a solid B on the greg trolling scale. If I am going to be honest, it's not your best work, especially with your background.

It's not hard at all. Just call your buddy from decades ago and there you go.

I imagine he will either long relief today, or start tomorrow.

Then we move on and some people need a new shtick to mock people with.

Of course this ends with Cease and Abreu slamming into each other at full speed tonight.

I get the feeling that they don't think it is long term, otherwise he would have been gone on day 1.

Do yourselves a favor: Our Flag Means Death You are welcome.
