They were probably tired. They've played great for this being a brutal road trip without Vuc. If they have Vuc, they win that game IMO. He's such an important piece offensively. This team will be even better when they gel.

Amen. Blazers being a 6-8th seed playoff team is the best possible outcome.

I stuck my neck out for you Parkman. I put my reputation on the line here - don't ruin it for me.

Smh, uncalled for

I just want everybody to be included in the good times when the Sox win. People make mistakes and learn from them. I think Parkman asking for a ban was something he regretted. We will all bask in glory together when the Sox win it all.

Bite your tongue sir. If they unbanned Parkman earlier, the Sox win the playoffs. Banning him was bad juju caused by the mods.

He's a poster here

Wonder how he looks without spider junk. He had a career resurgence after going to the Astros.

I swear to god, if any of you laugh at my post here or elsewhere I'll rip your damn heads off

Mahoney is clearly using reverse psychology here in order to get laugh emojis so he wins the day. He is a clear frontrunner for winning the day now. We can't let him get away with this! Everybody, like my post here and any others I make today so we can assure this cheater doesn't win the day.

Is there any proof behind this, or just a hunch? That would be awful, especially since it doesn't appear to be going anywhere.

The three ratings?

I can't imagine Jose negotiating with that gigantic chaw in his lower lip

If on mobile, hold the "e" key and it'll bring up the option. If on a computer, easiest way IMO is to just Google his name and copy and paste the "é". I didn't turn it into a Jewish joke. @caulfield12 is the one that typed it. Why am I getting the blame? Smh

Prep or caulfield?

Boogie just can't move anymore after his injuries. The guy is absolute toast. I'd rather take a flyer in Meyers Leonard if Reinsdorf would green light it.

For somebody that loves correcting posters anytime they misspell a player's name, it is shameful you didn't type it correctly. "Kiké"

Nothing caulfield loves more than correcting the spelling or nationality (I know you did that on purpose) of a player.

My uneducated opinion, but it probably has to do with the acceleration from gravity causing the downward velocity to be faster the longer it is airborne, combined with the drag caused by the spin on the ball.

It's not like the Dodgers or Astros had any major injuries to their pitching staff when they played the Braves. Let's totally ignore all context and just look at regular season stats.

It's not all about WAR. In the playoffs when you're facing the best pitching and every pitcher gets stretched to the limit, I don't want our outfield giving up free outs because it is atrociously bad in the corners. That's an absolute killer. Good pitching will beat good hitting in the playoffs. You need your defense to perform in those low scoring pitcher duels. You need your defense to limit the number of pitches your bullpen throws in those games. I'd be happy to make a wager that the Sox won't start the season with Vaughn/Sheets in RF. I think the front office sees the flaw in that plan.

Semien is an MVP caliber player than can play SS. He will get at least 25m+ annual IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets 30m annually. Conforto will be closer to 16m-20m annually, which leaves the Sox with more flexibility to fill other positions. It also gets a much needed left handed hitter in the lineup.

You realize Semien will cost more than Conforto? Where the hell are we getting the money to sign a backup catcher, 2 good RPs and a starter like Rodon in your scenario?

They should have just cut their loses and used that money for a damn 2B or RFer. It's mind boggling.

This is disgusting.
