Wait, I am giving Tony LaRussa a pass? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

So Burger can't hit against RHP?

What is the "conspiracy'?

Again. The Sox needed relief pitchers, and they got the best one on the market. When I showed you why they needed a reliever, you ignored the obvious and tried to pretend that what was happening in July, August, and September somehow applied as valid for decision making at the trade deadline. And the irony of the guy who has repeatedly labeled everyone and thing he doesn't agree with as "stoopid" catching feelings over what phrases are being used in an argument isn't lost on anyone.

So you would have been OK with Ruiz and Heuer being our 7th and 8th inning guys in the playoffs based on that? Ok, Mr Revisionist history. I know you need to invent things to be mad about, but the Sox trading for relievers last year is an awful one.

It's quite literally the point you are missing. The pen in July, right before the deadline, was pretty awful outside of the closer. Even the top guys were struggling. Whole season WAR doesn't tell the right story, which is why you are using it in hindsight.

Unless it is a brand of vodka, TLR couldn't care less about goodwill.

Well hopefully that is a good sign if it isn't immediate.

Wegner: This will allow Leury to move from the #3 to the #2 spot in the lineup. TLR: Hold my beer

July #s in the pen Ruiz 2.53 era Kopech 4.91 era Bummer 14.54 ERA Crochet 5.50 ERA Heuer 2.79 ERA Foster 4.26 ERA Burr 6.75 ERA Looks like October to me.

He doesn't care how badly they were performing at the time before the trade deadline.

AJP is coming off of a hamstring injury and it is 40 and rainy in Minneapolis. Luckily the guy doesn't have an injury history or anything.

Yep, don't get it either. Rather see Engel out there, and move Sheets to the bench in the shuffle.

Also interesting is they really seem to want to make Sheets into a RF. Vaughn is playing left while Eloy DH's

Well the good news is Leury isn't hitting 3rd today. He's hitting 2nd.

At home. https://thatballsouttahere.com/2021/01/27/phillies-release-miguel-tejada-son/

Ozzie Guillen probably. Though I would take that right now.

Sadly, it doesn't even phase me.

It just boggles the mind that anyone would think differently.
