THE PALACIAN EMPIRE RISES

I said that we're down bad and I stand by it.

That was a sweet play by Elko.

Good night sweet prince. We screwed up your timeline.

We're down bad.

Lmao Palacios, but also good for Vaughn

Bad relievers will also make me hate them.

Fajardo has only thrown 6 innings for Boston's FCL team, but I'm already severely doubting that we'll get anything better.

I hate to keep saying this because Elko is a good story, but for a fan base so rabid against guys with high strikeout rates and low walks, Elko is somehow overlooked. Watching him haul ass down the line, you can see how he has a sky high BABIP in the minors. But look at Moncada and TA for examples of guys that relies on high BABIPs to succeed.

No one look at Jac Caglianone's numbers so far.

And all of these players ranked just as — or higher — than Vargas, which is what people played up when they acquired him. They also went through hot streaks and somehow based on a month of not being the worst hitter in baseball + a good Cubs series, he is now the future. Eloy was a pure Cubs killer.

How are people already banking on Bonemer after watching what happened with Colson?

The walk rate and strikeout rate are predictable based on his minor league numbers. He desperately needs his BABIP to come up.

I got a phone call and came back to Jirschele going nuclear. What just happened?

Soxubus City Connects are gonna be wild.

Beautiful.

Why don't you understand The Plan.

Luis Robert is literally a Gold Glove-winning, All-Star. He's a bust because as a Lat-Am signing he had massive, massive tools. This organization just sucks all life from players as time goes on.

Brooks Baldwin is tremendously disappointing after last year.

Does he even touch home?

Orioles had more ammo and didn't even try to seize mid-afternoon.

Man, even if it was poor results with trades (Kimbrel, Lynn in playoffs), or going half ass on signings, the Sox somehow tried more than the Orioles. Orioles got a rental ace and let him walk. Absolute madness.

If we're talking about a center field prospect exploding with tools, Luis Robert was the last mega bonus LatAm signing for a reason.

I put this in the NBA thread after the Mavericks' deal with the devil, but I still think the Professional Women's Hockey League has it figured out: Once a team is mathematically eliminated, they improve their draft standing by winning games. Obviously there would still be bad teams. But #RoadToRodon, #CaptureTheFlagg, etc. would become lesser things.

Sassy Vargas demands you throw your hip into it.
