Jerksticks

Oh no! Bad teams in our division still suck. Will we counter? Lol

The force is strong with you. You see the light.

Lol. I vote 100+ and I also vote LOL to your post

Staying out of the game threads is an absolute must, especially now that we’re one of the dominant teams. I know tone is often hard to convey through written word, but I’m pretty sure the game threads consist of grown men legitimately getting pissed at every little tree in an absolutely splendid, beautiful forest.

Just wait until Lynn is back and make a real trade for a stud. We don’t need as much glue and bandaids as some think

That’s why I feel all this “FO failure” & “emergency” talk is a bit weak. Let’s let the guys in the minors establish some value and get the right piece in the summer. Win the World Series= goal #1

Remember when he was I believe Micker Zapata? This is our boy- we don’t have too many YOUNG international scouting successes.

That might change quite a bit by July.

Sweep everybody off the benches and then a bunch of laughs & high fives?

I’m available, can you milk me Greg?

Madrigal’s ceiling is high AF. A dude challenging for a .400 BA with an OBP over .400 annually while never striking out would be a ridiculous player. His floor is a totally valueless booster seat swinging a wet newspaper.

Yea but that’s US being the front office. I’m not sure if that’s how it really works at 35th st. He might get 5-10 starts of shit. Assuming that, maybe the trade happens early in the year like attempted 1st Peavy?

Do we really need a horse 30 starts though? I mean I’d love to get Keuchel out of the rotation before the season starts, but aren’t the Sox more likely to let him fail all April/May to pretend they honored their contract to a veteran blah blah? So if trade for Manaea now, are we going 6 man for a couple months until Dallas implodes himself out?

What do you think JR said to Lucas? I have my thoughts. Curious what others think.

But Joc is pretty terrible, no?

Has Robert officially changed his jersey to LuBob this year? Saw rumors and rumblings

Dude. Yes, this should be the starting lineup. Good call. Put a hole in the wall with my stiffy reading that idea

But don’t we have a way better roster than the teams you listed at the bottom of your post? ?‍♂️

I wasn’t accusing you of that, I just made a general statement about all the pitchforks around here. For sure all fair questions. I just meant that when you look at other rotations, there are few if any I’d trade straight up, all things considered. For example, the Blue Jays are getting a lot of media tugging for their rotation being the best in the AL East but I’d still take ours any day in the AL, probably the whole league.

For some reason people on this site never compare our team to the other 29 teams when they put our FO on full blast. Our pitching and hitting will probably both be top 3 in WAR. We are beyond spoiled except at like 2-3 positions.

But this is the world now. Comedians aren’t allowed to make fun of our differences. Yet somehow the assault-reaction is great!

More evidence of the greedy, morally bankrupt owners.

He’s gonna be a monster. Maybe we should just have a softball-style team. We’re kinda already there. Burger at 2nd would make that official.

In order for us to keep him he’d have to clear waivers so we can send him to the minors one more time. I can’t find any info on what the claiming team must do except pay the 20k to the Sox and pay his salary (peanuts). Are they required to roster him on the 26 all year like the rule 5? That would make sense to me. I mean they can’t just send him to the minors and keep him on their 40, that wouldn’t make sense.

They’ve invested a lot of resources into him over the last decade. Do they really just let him walk?
