  1. Why is Collins on this roster if he is going to play once every 7 days?
  2. Hes missing so badly, absolutely no control.. not sure why they would call him up when this is what he was like in charlotte too
  3. Not arguing there, but we are one of the most miserable and negative fanbases. I think there is a correlation
  4. Post from /r/baseball. Our .461 winning percentage (709-829) is dead last in the American League. Only the Marlins have a worse record, but its close. Hoping the next decade sees us near the top!
  5. great strategy, bunting against a AAA pitcher with a 5+ ERA.
  6. How many times are we going to get the final out at third? What the fuck are these coaches doing? Clowns
  7. Just a quick reminder: Thorpe hasn't posted an ERA under 4.50 in any league over A+. Hes currently destroying us. edit: im wrong, his 2018 was 3.50. Still a terrible year at AAA this season!
  8. Kepler with an awesome swing on that low breaking ball
  9. Big Data Baseball referenced how late we were in getting on the analystics train. We were ranked dead last or near it for defensive shifting in 2014 or 2015. I am just hoping things have changed since.
  10. OK yeah they should have gone to 3rd...
  11. was yoan there or not? live it looked like he was 10 feet off 3rd
  12. yoan should have covered 3rd there, bad defensive awareness
  13. Its great that jay is hitting ahead of moncada. Bravo Ricky, bravo!
  14. The author of The MVP Machine was interviewed on Sox Machine. I would give it a listen if you haven't yet, its today's ( June 24th) episode. The interview talked about how the Dodgers and Astros will be dominating the league for years based on how much money they put into their farm teams and approach in development. Verlander and Cole have revamped their careers based on Astros analytics, and the Dodgers have been able to turn around a lot of careers around. Listening to how the Astros' farm teams are dominating at every level (stats wise) it makes me feel awful about what we have outside of our top 3. It also worries me that the Twins have taken notice and have also adjusted their developmental approach to hitting. Look at their at their prospects. It is paying dividends for them so far, and its becoming clear they won't be a one and done type of team. Look at what the Dodgers have been doing with their young players. Now look at us.. Burger, Collins and Fulmer, and how our top prospect had to go to his high school pitching coach for guidance. Its a scary thought to think we have a window of contention, whereas teams that are taking their farm systems seriously will be able to become yearly competitors thanks to a stream of minor league depth. How far behind is our organization really? In Big Data Baseball the book made numerous mentions on how the Sox were one of the last teams to start paying attention to analytics. How much do they believe in them these days and to what extent?
  15. not sure how you miss not one but two hanging sliders..
  16. alonso is a joke, a clown, and utter trash DFA HIM ALREADY
