BR should be fine, but Jacobs is way better than AT. AT played nobody and Jacobs losses are to really good teams for their classification. Fenwick/Naz better not sleep on Burlington in the quarters/semis too.

Boy Wonder needed Hagen over him and several others…..

Absolutely not calling him a bust, BUT he does need to be “broken” (like a wild horse). Caleb has relied on pure athleticism to this point and that will not work in the NFL. Riley is a great offensive mind and didn’t get him on script. Ben is a great offensive mind and he’s still not on script. He has all the physical talent to be great. The question is whether someone can harness it.

Actually, Caleb only looks good on the 1st 15 plays that BJ scripts and the couple of hero plays he sometimes makes. Otherwise (after those plays were practiced ad nauseam during the week), Caleb relies on jailbreak. He honestly looks worse than last year.

That's not considered revenue for baseball operations. See the Braves Q/K. Leagues where this is a cap and split revenues with the players don't count that as income. NFL, for example, is split roughly 52/48 owners/players. That revenue split does not count concessions/parking/local broadcasting rights and a large portion of ticket sales. It's mostly the national contracts (which is THE revenue source for NFL).

He’s not cash liquid. My problem is he was massively cash positive prior to COVID. Did he take those profits to buyout original investors? Does he build in a $xM (20M+) salary for himself? GFY (not you, Jerry), if he used profits to increase equity.

That’s fair. I agree this thread mostly ignored the parameters. There’s no single player I would spend $160M this offseason (or would reasonably sign with us for that amount).

I'm not crying. The tissues are for you not accepting the guy running the show is neck deep why we suck. Sure, Jerry is most at fault, but to hitch hopes to a guy that has failed miserably at his job seems silly. And you really, REALLY need to squint to see the horizon 4 years down the road.

Say hi Alex Call. Still hanging around after not being developed properly.

To be clear, I meant Texas probably still wins. I did hear the Chipotle story. He was dressed today, granted with a soft cast. He (Mateer) told the sideline reporter he was planning on playing.

What are you trying to say? Arch is a hot mess. They probably still win with Hawkins at qb, but wild story out there Mateer will play.

I’d like to see ESL vs MC. Those are the two best teams in the state. Won’t happen b/c 6A vs 8A. ESL boatraced MC last year, but they are so undisciplined (as always). BR is 7A.

I’d give him an invite. He’s a complete turd by most accounts, but the flotsam Getz has been paying and running out there why not? Send him to AZ and Fuller will fix him.

Do you understand how silly you look trying to say Eppler or Getz are better than Stearns?

Heard a story on MLB Network Radio in early May that Turner told PCA that his swing might be working now, but the dead pull stuff needs to change because he'll get abused. PCA told him to go f*** himself. Hmmm.....

Not yet. Still need to place any failures on KennyHahn for, at least, two more years.

And Getz had a massive hand in that smoking wreckage that he “inherited”.

For the love of God, the Sox are not someone's child. Jerry and Getz are grown ass men, very highly compensated to do a job. They fail miserably and are certainly open to criticism and mockery. Sorry/not sorry that I'm not going to blow sunshine up their asses.

Some are impatiently waiting on a board wide apology saying this team is still super shitty.

Shush it hater! That $15M into the Dominican facility and PD are a reallocation of resources. And it's already paying off!

Step on up to the counter. I'm guessing that's pretty much where the over/under will be next year and rightfully so.

Jerry's rent still capped at $1.5M/season. The City and State still pay $10M/year combined. And that doesn't include the (non-JR responsibility - he paid $1M) bonds to payoff the 'new bar and store'. And JR doesn't need to share any of the attendance revenue with the State/City.

The Astros broke the tanking method. They picked #1 from 2012-2014, #2 in 2015 and had #5 in 2015 b/c of Aiken. Not possible now....Getz had the worst record ever and couldn't draft higher than 10.

Most people saw this coming, just like the PCA regression. You just can’t swing and miss that much. It just took longer than it should’ve for the League to figure out PCA.
