An absolute can't miss prospect with the bat.

LMAO that is hysterical. Good lord.

100% he was. You beat me to it. Tony is the devil according to many here, so they won't admit it.

Not even joking here. Soxtalk RIPPED Tony to shreds for telling players not to hustle all the time. Look at what has happened to our team for hustling to first. Yoan went down with a terrible looking injury. Eloy went down running to first, AGAIN. Robert tore his hip flexor running to first, then pulled it again recently while rounding first. Tony knew his personnel. He knew that he had a bunch of players made of glass. He got demolished for it, but he was right. You can't have any of the "big 3" hustling at this point. They are getting destroyed from it. I know Soxtalk's MO is "blame Tony and Pedro for everything", but Tony was correct here.

Is this something that can be a reoccurring issue due to the previous complete tear?

There goes his trade value.

Kjerstad with 6 HR in 32 AB already. Wasn't he a guy we likely could have gotten?

8 SO through 3 IP. Craycray.

Was Tony part of the Monstars by chance? Did he zap their powers?

TLR sucked. But claiming that an entire swath of players forgot to play baseball because of a manager is laughable.

It was at the start of their success. A championship, multiple finals runs, multiple eastern conference finals runs. It didn't contribute to it of course and they win more with Melo, DWade, Iggy or whoever.

The Pistons won the championship during Darko's rookie season, and then continued to have deep playoff runs after. They weren't relevant then?

Heck, I think he coulda been DH for 13 years

Crochet won't even be able to pitch many more innings by the deadline. Not sure what value he would have in a trade then.

We all know he wouldn't honor that

See ya tomorrow

Parroting Dan Bernstein is exactly what I expected out of you.

@southsider2k5

Who is this female Ron you speak of? I need to know.

This is where you find common ground and humbly admit you're a mere dollar store version of @Kyyle23

What's a manager supposed to do when he inherits a garbage team with a broken culture? He can't make the players good. He says unrealistic things, but that's part of the job. He can't just say "we suck and won't win anything." It's too hard to judge a manager when the talent is piss poor. Let's give Grif a chance with at least SOME talent before we judge him to harshly. When that will be, I don't know.

I have it on good authority that Jack Parkman died. Either his account has been hacked, or he's back from the dead to haunt Soxtalk

This is why Greg is the GOAT and I'm merely a dollar store version of him, if that.

You know it!

What the hell is this supposed to mean? My motto is fair and balanced.
