yeah I picked 2000 arbitrarily, wasn't meant to be an analysis of that particular team. 2000 was a nice round number. plus it's when I first started seriously watching the team.

Dunno about you guys but I can wager to guess that most of you don't even like this particular Sox team. I'm at the point where I couldn't give a s%*# if most of these guys weren't around next year Guys like Robert, Moncada, Kopech, TA, Andrus, Clevinger and others just give off this vibe of overconfidence that they garnered either because they had past success or because they were extremely hyped prospects, like it's not their fault the team is bad, because they're good, "look how much money I was paid, so obviously you can't criticize me" sorta s%*# I feel like these guys are playing with a chip on their shoulder that isn't deserved yeah I don't like these pricks at all

lol look at the trash team play trash baseball, they really are pathetic tbh.

trash team being trashy

Grandal and Seby in the same lineup, wat

Gio isn't a scared little boy like Dylan Cease.

I personally think carrying 3 catchers wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea with how often these guys are hurt. plus McGuire is a good all around catcher anyway

didn't know McGuire was performing that well, f*** Rick Hahn. I hope he's on the first starship to Mars.

I miss coop. never thought I'd say those words

LOL Rays gonna unlock his superpowers

WHAT

Royals broadcast showed that guys are hitting Cease to a .321 clip 3rd time through the order I'm starting to wonder if this is because he's calling his own pitches and hes falling into patterns that hitters are picking up Would be interesting to see what pitches he's calling to each guy, each AB, to see if he's just going to the same sequence everytime or if he's changing pitch sequences and he's just missing his spots badly

embrace the suck guys, rooting for this dumpster fire before big changes are made is a fools errand, they might play .450 ball the rest of the year, they might even have the offense to get above that, but my god this pitching staff, just up and down the roster. Katz has gotta go lol, like he NEEDS to be fired ASAP.

12-5 LOL

as long as Cease can get his era near 3.8-4.0 by July I think he will still net you a haul in prospects

he's hitting .168 prior to that last AB with risp and he's a massive DP landmine

batters hitting .321 off Cy Cease 3rd time through the order

JBJ first hit of the season on a breaking ball and no I'm not making that up

dear god, someone convince Grandal to retire now he's COOKED like a fucking ??️

I think it's likely that Gio is traded, Katz fired and then Katz follows Giolito to his third team.

what's this 4 to 6 wks bullshit, @ptatcthis isn't a normal timeline is it?

yeah I gotta disagree that they have the talent. they are injury prone up and down the entire 26man roster and the depth/bench guys who have to fill in are AAAA guys who wouldn't sniff a call up on any top 10 team in baseball

Remember when they were 7-21? 14 games under .500, 9 games back They've gone 5-2 since and are (12-23) still 11 games under .500 (7 games back) Unless they start getting 3 game sweeps, these "series wins" ain't gonna do s%*# to their place in the standings, they're just too far buried, and they don't have the talent to compete with good teams

i mean they made a decent offer to Wheeler
