The FS1 broadcast has a strange audio/video thing going. The video is dark and the audio sounds muffled. Or maybe it's our tv.
Dark and muffled, story of the Sox franchise. Might as well be the 2024 slogan

For comparison, the 03 Tigers were 20-61 after 81 games
The 1st overall pick will be locked up by Independence Day

Holy crap these guys are so bad
Defense was going to be better and they were going to get back to the fundamentals yet after ~20 games their TV color guy is already making fun of how shitty they are at run downs

What does Maldonado do well

Remember when Getz was hired because according to Jerry us fans deserved a quick turnaround?

This is headed to Oakland A's / Montreal Expos territory. I'm at the point in wishing for this sooner than later when it comes to having to put up with an owner that just doesn't die or sell the team.
What happens after Reinsdorf moves the team? Then I can move on with my life in finding either another team to pull for or just stop watching baseball altogether and do other more important things with my life.
I couldn't have stated my thoughts any better

Marcus Thames is the hitting coach?

Is there a point of watching this OR even following this? I know someone will say "be a real fan" or some s%*# but this is atrocious. The owner either doesn't care or is a mindless jagoff. This team is a good 6-7 years from being average

The crazy part is the agent never once directly spoke to Ohtani...always through the interpreter.
They tried to get tax information about the account/s (for gift or interest income purposes) but were repeatedly rebuffed, apparently.
Makes one wonder who even came up with the tax deferral structure for the 2024 and beyond contract...was it the agent, interpreter (that would go directly against his interests in feeding those accounts THIS year with Ohtani salary disbursements), the Dodgers maintained this tax strategy came directly from the Ohtani camp.
All of the salary coming from the Angels (something like $47 million) from his rookie year through last season went into this singular account...and when access got temporarily blocked, the interpreter knew everything about Ohtani's personal life to get through the bank sequence of personal questions to get the account access/ability to disburse money UNblocked.
Insane...and that the interpreter also impersonated Ohtani in calls to the bank as well.
I think I read Dave Roberts was happy he could finally speak with Ohtani once Ippei got canned because prior to that everything was done through Ippei
-
While I'm glad this is seemingly over and that Ohtani is innocent, it still doesn't make total sense to me for 2 reasons:
1) Ippei won ~140M and lost ~180M but only stole 16M from Ohtani. For someone who didn't make remotely enough for those debts, where did the rest come from?
2) How did a likely team of financial advisors & CPA's miss 16M being taken? They didn't balance the statements, whether they were monthly or annually?

I'm stuck in Paducah KY and I'm not fighting the traffic home until tomorrow. I love reading this thread!
Dippin Dots headquarters/factory is there. Make a stop

They are hitting .091 with risp this year and have 16 runs in 10 games (6 came in one game). Garfien is on the postgame saying they're all pressing. No Chuck they just blow ass

I don’t know what you wanted him to do this year when his marching orders were obviously “get rid of a bunch of payroll.”
What I wanted was for him to properly develop these "studs" the last 5 years as he oversaw the farm and he not only didn't but was promoted for his (s%*#) effort, so yeah, he's a bum

I'm sure every fan base of every shitty team ever says this at this juncture, but how is this team going to win 60 games yet alone 70? They are atrocious

Other than that..

Not sure if they briugt it up on the Sox broadcast, but Jason Bourgeois didn’t go out to coach first base in the 8th.
The jokes write themselves.

I think schmuck is a better descriptor of Getz.
Yeah but he's a little full of himself for someone. I guess weasel would've been better than d**k
-
Here's a recap: 1.5 of the stars of the farm from 4-5 years ago is good and the rest are literally dogshit. The manager is in over his head. The owner doesn't care. The GM is a d**k. At least the $15 milkshakes or whatever are good

Post-game showing Eloy's highlight reel of hurting himself running to 1st. Holy f***....
Wait, so I read he has an injured chest. He did that running to first? Take him to the glue factory already

And how about the stuff we've seen come out about the alleged bets that coincide with poor Othani performances? 💩
I haven't seen it. Is that out there?

How about “this is super weird as presented and for it to go this way a whole lot of safeguards have to break down in a very peculiar way.”
Between the bookie giving a $4.5 million credit line to a guy who probably wouldn’t make that much in 10 years and these transfers not setting off alarms with Ohtani or anyone he employs, it seems worth some real skepticism to me that this is the whole story. Is that fair?
Very fair

Eh, he grew up in DC,, and Oklahoma, both certainly more mild than Chicago but not like the dude has never seen snow. Also, the league is riddled with QBs mostly from california. Big 10 QBs have not been the dominant force despite the tough defenses and worse weather preparing them.
I think they were talking about Sanders not Williams
