That tells me they have a lineup that can't catch up to fastballs, which is bad.

I said Jerry for the same reason. Jerry sells and the other two are gone virtually immediately.

Idk where to put this: Only one goes this winter. Who do you choose? Hahn TLR Jerry

Laviska Shenault traded to Carolina. He's someone I was interested in.

FB is a bit disappointing here, but idk what I expected

I don't think there's a lineup in MLB that was hurt more by the new baseballs than the Sox.

Fire everyone.

For me, 1994 but yeah, same.

If you think this, why do you think he'd have any value in a trade?

idk where I missed that. Sorry.

Yes, I know. I was expanding on that about teacher-student ratio. My mom was a teacher in a lower middle class/working poor area and we'd have discussions about what stuff she'd get and the rich kids in the district would get. I'm well aware. The rich kids got tablets and such, the other kids got outdated biology textbooks that had a very early grasp of HIV, for example. When I was in HS 20 years ago, in the poorer schools they were still using textbooks from the early 80s. When my mom retired in 2014, they were using textbooks from the mid-90s. I don't have firsthand experience anymore but it seems like the kids from the lower class schools get the rich school's hand-me-downs. Also, besides the info, wealthier areas would have 20 kids in a class, while others would get 40+.

The bolded is my point exactly. The quality of education you get should not depend on your zip code. And while we're at it, make post-secondary education free as well, whether that be traditional college or trade school. Something that isn't talked about is the teacher-student ratio. We also need more schools in populated areas. Somewhere around 15-20 to 1 is ideal and most densely populated areas have 35+ to 1. It is unrealistic to meet each student's educational needs if there are 45 kids in one classroom.

Part of it is hope. When you have little hope for a better life, what's the point?

Based on what I read, Mena has been 90-93 all year.

I'd rather have Sheets' power and LH bat at 1B next year than Vaughn's singles.

The braintrust is getting what they deserve, the fans are left frustrated af.

Giolito hit 96 mph tonight, which he hasn't done basically all year. (Watching the replay) If he has some velo back, I'd think that's enough to tender him a contract. I have no doubt that he'll put in the work to right himself after a terrible season.

It's seriously time to question the Sale and Eaton deals.

Moncada garbage time vs. Houston on Thursday

Was he doing his best Sammy Sosa/Soriano impression and swinging at a slider that hit the dirt in the LH batters box? Not watching as I'm out of town.

I'm thinking that they just want him to go to the AFL.

I don't want him to get hurt. He got hurt though.

Did he tag?
