  1. At least they targeted Baty first. Then Vientos. Then their switch hitter of the future if it was still 2023-24.
  2. That was 50% a contract dump whether you like it or not
  3. https://www.espn.com/mlb/standings/_/sort/pointdifferential/dir/desc/group/overall Tied with Toronto ahead of Mets Royals and Phillies in rs/ra contract extensions for all mission accomplished!
  4. Surely they'll make us forget Bonds Sosa and McGwire too And we'll all wake up with mint condition 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie cards with a pristine autograph affixed in our Christmas stockings MaRis btw maybe Barry Pepper will even come back to do a recreation of that 1961 homer race at GRF this year...
  5. MLB Trade RumorsPadres Sign Lucas GiolitoThe Padres signed righty Lucas Giolito to add to the rotation. Get all the details at MLB Trade Rumors.
  6. Going on about Venable pitching to Muncy with one out instead of the pitcher with bases loaded and little used Jack Gelof coming up with two theoretical outs instead seems kind of relevant. Did Venable simply assume striking out Muncy there would be easier? Hey that doesn’t take an Ivy education to figure out…now does it?
  7. Só then going by actual record in current year and not merely optimistic projections for 2028-30 is fine? WE: Nobody could have possibly predicted Vasil Hays S.Smith Teel Acuna etc. being hurt or underperforming. You’re saying the usual cast of April fill in vet villains aren’t to be scapegoated for consistent lack of depth issues under Getz (like Bido last night)? Where’s our prized trade acquisition Wiki González, for example? Finally, are you willing to go on record that Colson and Mune should both be given $100+ million extensions as of today? Make sure to bet Ron’s money…and, the only panicking going on right now is in VA Texas and Virginia lol.
  8. If the starting pitching continues a run like this, 14/17 starts with two or fewer runs, sure. but defense, fundamentais/execution, McGuire and Burke hadn’t stopped a single opposing baserunner, for example, the leaky bullpen, the leaky AL Central…leaky line-up choices by Venable, questionable strategies Sure Antonacci Hagen Dutch Bonemer McDougal Braden might all succeed, but that’s not how it usually goes 1-1 and 2-41 picks, etc. Boyer has yet to really capitalize on the Mune market as of yet….we’ve heard of one trip to Japan that was marketing related but crickets só far The Idea of JR giving out a $200+ million dóllar deal let alone $300 seems pretty preposterous Getting attached to Mune (bought a Jersey already) and then watching him get traded away to fill in the blank big spending club is going to be just par for the course as a Sox fan. Also, has good ‘ol Ron ever posted in game threads when the Sox weren’t on top of the world at 9-14 and not the very bottom due to teams like KC and NYM? Don’t seem to recall much of a presençe.
  9. Problem 2: The balls put into play aren't turning into hits at their former levels. The statistical term for this is BABIP and the .289 mark this season would be the lowest since 1992, though, like average, it will go up some over the course of the season. But it isn't going to approach the "healthy" benchmark of .300. I had hoped that the ban of extreme defensive shifting would get us back to that level. It simply has not happened. The bane of a league with a batting average of too much three-true-outcomes baseball -- far too many plate appearances that end with a strikeout, walk or home run. ESPN.com

  13. He picked the Dodgers to fix his fast ball…very specifically they kind of did in the post season run except for one hiccup…but now he just looks lost again fastball velo at 96-97 touching 98 and getting rocked more than any pitch in baseball Getting behind in counts constantly His splitter is a great equalizer, but hitters are learning to lay off on that and wait on a straight as an arrow fb He really needs to find a third reliable pitch and attack confidently with that arsenal…instead of tinkering with 5-6 pitches but lacking confidence in any of them
  14. Found three versions for 95-125 rmb in China already One has 5 on the front, other doesn’t Then there was a weird one with those smaller name sizes but darker name blocking from 2022-23 like when they first changed over to Fanatics and everyone threw a fit Ironically one site had only Benintendi and Michael Jordãn themed merchandise
  15. Guessing around $75-90 million for Itoh and $125-175 million for Sato depending on his health and NPB numbers…
  16. Bring back Miguel Cleto or even Wiki Gonzalez lol.
  17. Might have to move to China bró
  18. Easier to buy in Japan or from a textile factory here in China...
  19. Sure. Based on a single game that almost blew up again late.
  20. Jimenez and Sosa game winning RBIs for Toronto two from each in a 4-2 win
  21. Mccann lucky to be alive
