You have one of my favorites:

200% inspired Eloy. League = Not ready.

Why won't James Shields let us live in peace???

Caulfield, what the absolute fuck are you rambling on about right now?

He has risen

This post from the Twins' reddit board has become a meme on the overall baseball reddit and it feels like it needs to come here in lieu of looking at that stat. This was posted on April 5. Lmao.

Man, his face said it all watching that hit not get caught.

Yeah, but at the same time, moving Yoan is wild.

Burger was taking them reps at 2B for a reason my dude.

Thought he was getting his first homer there. Also, man, Jason and Steve are going to be insufferable with the Burger puns.

He had to welcome Grandal to heaven, then he'll be ready to go.

Or a trade for an infielder.

Hahn ain't fucking around.

I might be alone in this, but I've liked the past two years with targeting fast-rising college players followed by high ceiling prep player. Would have been nice if that was the 2018 strategy with Joe Gray or Alek Thomas instead of Steele Walker, but that's firmly in the past and has been litigated 1000 times.

A combination of 9.3M of Al's Italian Beef sandwiches, Portillo's hot dogs, Manny's corned beef sandwiches, and steaks from assorted restaurants.

Billy Hamilton is a goddamn treasure.

2 thoughts: 1) Look at Yogurt go. 2) Does every minor league team have a beach blanket? I know Charlotte has one.

Yo, I miss Herm

If this season has taught me anything, it's that we're about to see Gunnar Troutwine come up and rake for two weeks for no discernable reason.

I'll admit I forgot this, but also assuming Hahn tries to lock up Giolito, Vaughn, Kopech, Cease, etc.

They're only $5M under the luxury tax line this year. That's a hard pill to swallow if you're an under .500 club. They can drop Cutch, but any improvement will come via salary injections. Sox are $38M under and obviously have raises on the horizon - and adding Harper pushes them even closer - but if JR and TLR want to gamble super hard, well, maybe it's worth it. Plus, you have to imagine the City Connect Harper jerseys would pay for roughly 75% of the contract.

To answer my own question and revisit Harper/Machado-mania, Harper seems to be disgruntled in Philly and wants the Phillies to be "worth it" for Dombrowski to make moves. If the Phillies are out of it by the deadline, the Sox might be able to pull something off, but have no clue what the price would be - depending on how much money the Sox take on / I don't think Dombrowski has ever been in sell-mode.

Well, injuries blow, especially because coming into this year this was one of (if not the) most talented Sox teams in decades. What's your, and we're all conditioned to recoil at the term for obvious reasons, "all in" move that the Sox can make?
