Levine I guess get never get enough of Leury. Leury is the 2nd most talked about other than firing Tony on sport radio. TA's trade value is down since touching an ump twice. The 3rd time will have more consequences.

It will be interesting if one of the two decide to go for the division at the trade deadline. That would put Hahn into the stupid trade mode.

Post of the week. Most of our homerun calls are usually Oh (insert your choice of profane words) because the other team is doing it.

I wonder if players are too tired to get up in the morning and do their own batting practice, You have to wonder how many organizations would have fired their hitting coach by now. Dusty use to make a habit of it.

That happened before Hahn. I guess it's a bad habit to break.

I'm gonna do a different take. A GM relies on scouts. Then there is your staff in the instructional leagues, We see the same patterns in the organization. There are probably people we never heard of that are probably under JRs loyalty program. There are no outsiders from consistent winning organizations. Guys like Boston are part of the mired in mediocrity organization. There is no pressure on anyone in this organization. Stone reflected that in some words about the farm system. I know drafting in baseball is a crapshoot but even during the KW era there are some major busts. There are plenty of organizations that trade that talented player for prospects and then start the cycle over again and might have a few winning seasons out of each decade. Those big market teams seem to produce good homegrown talent and spend the money. When you have a not so good system that is not good at evaluating talent the "get a haul for x player" seems closer to fantasy then reality. There's enough teams like that. At some point money has to be spent but what good is that if the scouting isn't there. So far the Sox spend bad money and make bad trades. It will be interesting to see how the Mets fare in Oct. With overpriced pitching the Giants got value out of Rodon so far. Hindsight for the Sox is not good on that one.

I'm not sure what that is but there is a lot of complacency in the coaches. If your base runners are stupid treat them that way and pay attention so they don't get picked off. We have no idea what these players do to prepare themselves between games.

I live up the street from the ST facility. Becoming a Dodgers fan would be a good excuse right now. New ownership could be the answer but new owners make stupid mistakes like what Jerry did with TLR. They have no clue what hands off means. If they become sellers I'm done. It's driver that needs to be replaced and I'll bet KW and Hahn are handcuffed.

I think this has to be the next step and also ALL of the coaches.

I paid $129 for MLB. I view the gameday instead of watching. I probably should watch other teams.

Bernstein was saying the same exact thing on the radio.

Yep, it's Vaughn.

The mystery of the 24 year old Vaughn who doesn't have the stamina of they 35 year old he is suppose to replace.

Jerry's about loyalty, not performance.

I should really walk away from this team until new management and coaching. I'd like to see how well they'd fare with different management.

The Sox make bad teams look good. Every opponent know the Sox don;t hustle on the bases or on a hit to the outfield and just bad at fundamentals.

He use to swing at the first pitch more often than not. He was always around the .300 mark.

We've seen that script before going back to Manuel. Usually August was when reality set in.

He's not any better.

Could the bullpen coach notice anything before he went out there?

The most overrated one on the staff. I wouldn;t miss any of them if they were gone.

So their legs can rest.

That is a strange concept for us to grasp. It exists?

They really don't have anything to trade on the current roster. Too many brittle guys, Change of scenery trades don't work either. Last years trades were really bad, It's not about what they gave up it didn't make them better and somewhat worse. I'd rather they do nothing unless they can trade Tony. All in is not gonna happen this year or next.

It is when it isn't mismanaged.
