Jerksticks

The idea of Madrigal is exciting. The Sox are about to be a monster.

Talented? yes. Able to generate results? Nobody knew. That was the big mystery. Starting him in AA would have been way too risky and stupid. If he would have started off slow, all the reactionary-and-blame types on here would have crucified the FO for starting him in AA. So glad they made the right call 100% with regard to Robert. Looks like it might pay huge dividends.

This is looking more and more like the case. Not a single person on here or in the Sox organization knew that going into this season though. What a pleasant surprise.

Predictable Total Dildo Comment Coming: ”Starting?! Hell I’ve been thinking that since 198X (or 199X or 20XX)! Where you been!”

Ehh. I, along with everyone involved in Major League Baseball and its entire history agrees with you- it’s beautiful and awesome and smart. Its just super hard for a lot of professional hitters and way easier said than done. It’s not a new thought whatsoever. Konerko threatened .400 when he finally figured it out and it was beautiful

Yea I agree. I could see 5 guys or so launch their ways onto top 100 lists and a few others turn into top 20 guys. The SP depth does feel light. A powerful return of Hansen would really help but yea, another 2-3 guys and the Sox would be sitting pretty. Any sleeper starters on these teams?

Anybody else feel like this team is stacked waaaaay beyond what the pundits are saying?

I think that’s just the initial thought anybody has when reading this. The Sox have to be operating a layer or two deeper than this. Think more along the lines of this: ”Dylan, we like you and your potential. You know anything can happen anytime to a pitcher so we’re offering you some life-changing money now that will secure your family and the next generations if invested wisely. In exchange we want some suuuuuper cheap years and added control. Think about it, no pressure.”

Agreed. If Kopech didn’t get hurt we mighta had a shot

It’s weird to think that if Eloy gets monstery, and Rodon, Lopez & Gio throw 32 starts a piece....this is actually a wildcard contender. Wait, what?

35% of the way to his 2018 WAR total. After 5 games. Hold me back

Somebody said last time that this nickname should be dragged out into the street and shot. Still laughing bout that.

Lot to digest here.

Wait a minute...Buehrle through the legs was super sunny sun=magic plays

Psssst. Over here. Hey bud. It could be that he’s rich and famous and getting away with something beyond ridiculous that’s pissing people off. Race has nothing to do with any of the outrage. It’s okay to not get triggered every once in a while. People aren’t half as terrible as you think.

Tatis is going to bust

Who cares happ sucks

My CPA has his whole roll of clients filing extensions because some of the new stuff hasn’t been litigated. Anybody else experiencing that? The new tax code seems good for me. The raise to $.58 a mile alone is a windfall of a couple extra grand of bonus beans this year. Im going to be paying less this year for sure, but haven’t dove in too deep yet. Anybody else?

What a wonderful example of why OPS and SLG aren’t the right tools to judge Madrigal by. Hall of famer

Ugh. Dude doesn’t look like a major leaguer to me...but I’m jerksticks and what do I know bout it

Since it’s nickname day.... you ready? ..... Burgers! The S says it all

I’m a biiiiiig LuBob fan. That could be epic

Why did you edit your post to include any of that stupid ass shit? ?

In still laughing about that nickname needing to be dragged out into the street and shot. ??

Lol. Well put
