Talk about a guy that carved himself out a nice career. Good for Tyler.

Ran head first into Dozier on a pop fly, helped off of the field, status TBA.

For my two cents when someone states that a manager has a minimal effect on a game, I think there is an underlying assumption built into that statement that the manager is of a level of competence that they aren't doing ridiculous and unexpected things such as not knowing the rules of the game, and instead of turning a quick statement into a long statement full of needless qualifiers, they make a quick and simplified statement, which is well understood in its context. I mean when I say managers have a minimal effect, do I need to say mention that as long as they play all nine defenders that they have a minimal effect, or can that be assumed? Do I need to mention that I am not including managers who would move their starting pitcher to CF for every other batter as it wouldn't be a good idea? Again, that can be assumed. So when people make that statement, I can accept that an acceptable assumption would be a manager who understood the rules of the game, and other basic things we assume of managers in 2021. I mean if you can't read between the lines to understand a statement like this for what it is, that is fine. I personally think too many take it as just an opportunity to argue something that was never said, and reframe the argument to something it never was instead have having a healthy respect for the baseball IQ of the person posting the comment.

Let's be honest here, the odds are really high that brah is just a filler word for what he really wants to call you, but can't because he doesn't want to get suspended.

Considering 2 of your 3 examples are dead, that is kind of telling as to how hard it is to find TODAY.

Again, why are you assuming to know more about this than the people getting paid to do this job?

Why assume Katz, of all people, doesn't know if something is wrong? Knowing something isn't right, and being able to get changes made, are 2 completely different things.

It's like modern politics where it is a one or the other thing. If you like one side, you have to like every other thing that goes with it and vice versa. Apparently in this simple world if you don't like TLR you can't be happy if the team does well, and if they do, you the TLR stans will have you answer for why you are still angry that they are doing well every single day, even though you aren't. It's just dumb.

Are you STILL on this? I thought you were waiting for the end of the season.

Hamilton and Garcia vs a 300 pound pitcher, and no one has tried to bunt and make him field.

And the award for the most predictable thread goes to...

Apparently this game thread has turned into a Lamb roast. I will see myself out.

Wait until you get to 12 and 13

Even better... Also while claiming everyone is unqualified to judge Tony, then of course judges his job performance in multiple other posts.

Yet...

You get a bill for every name drop that Soxtalk has had to pay royalties on.

Mendick is in the same boat as Leury Garcia. They are best when being plugged into solid situations a few times a week to give guys breaks. He's someone who won't hurt you, and will occasionally will help you. He is going to be a guy who plays a decade of MLB catching on as a primary defender off of team's benches. Think of what Gordon Beckham turned into.

Next year will be the 20th anniversary of Soxtalk.

94% efficacy is still 6% not. Honesty the fact that he doesn't have symptoms is a sign that he could have had the vaccine.

Well we just found Tony's bender burner account...

This year is going to be so big for the farm system to see if we can get some break out candidates to start to fill in for the graduated prospects. We have some potential guys who could blow up in the system, they just need to play some real games to see if it happens. This a great list, and still has some lower level candidates who aren't quite ready yet like Vera, Tatis, and a few others.

I don't believe major leaguers get paid either. https://www.businessinsider.com/uniform-major-league-baseball-contract-2011-4
