I'll never forget the night of the long knives over at WSI

I never understood the analytics on him. He catches pitchers well, but he's not a good defender based solely on watching ~200 dodgers games while he was in LA. Plays in front of the plate, bunts, etc... he's slow to get to the ball. Also, he is one of the slowest baserunners in the game.

But the question then becomes.. does the Tatis Jr trade put Rick Han in league with Steve Phillips for all time worst GMs in the history of baseball?

He is meeting expectations and I am elated about it.

He wasn't well-liked by Dodger fans in 2012.... this web site still cracks me up though...

Don't give them any ideas.

Can we just have ol 2004 Juan Uribe back to make all this go away?

54 up, 54 down

Nate Jones was far from awful. Injured all the damn time? Yes. Awful? Pretty damn far from it. When he was healthy he was statistically one of the best non-closer relievers in all of baseball.

Stroman throwing a no-no?

Detwiler... 5.2 2ER? Veteran stones right there to help the team.

c'mon Ross

Yea but the Sox try super duper hard

If Detwiler can toss 4 innings, it will be a miracle.

I don't know why, but I laughed out loud at this... both in sadness because its so true and because your comment was funny.

Can I get a summary of the professional assessment of this trade... so I then may fall in line with that group think and not be labeled a meathead elsewhere on SoxTalk?

When I saw the headline I thought, "There's another Nate Jones in the league?"

I mean.... if the SOx org strat is to collect Manny Machado's workout posse, why can't the Blue Jays collect the offspring of hall of famers?

The good news is, every promotion Robert has seen in the minors, his K rate dropped. ~23% in WS ~20% in Birmingham and ~19% in Charlotte. [ based on my rough box score math ]

Can we all just hug it out? We're supposed to all be fans of the same team FFS

Cease is gonna be just fine. Cease is gonna be just fine. Cease is gonna be just fine. Cease is gonna be just fine. Cease is gonna be just fine. Cease is gonna be just fine. I'm talking to myself again, aren't I?

QFT and probably because the Sox MiLB staff would have figured out a way to ruin him somehow.

C'mon Jose... AJ Reed and Ryan Goins not cuttin it for you? Could be an innocent comment taken out of context/translation as well.

For those of you watching... But did you die?
