I had avoided looking at any Getz quotes about the trade until now. He really thinks he did a great job added offensive talent via this trade, doesn't he? Unbelievable.
If as has been suggested by some that this existence is just a computer simulation, as a Sox fan I have a question for our AI overlords.....what the f*** did I ever do to you??!!??
What in the hell is this bs that Brebbia has been pitching well lately!! Back away from the friggin peripherals people.
And to the Mets.....YES, PLEASE TAKE HIM
Shout out to the Soxtalker who once told me about stopping at the side of road with his wife at "barrel o chicken" who said it was the best chicken he ever had in his life....I do not remember who that was but I loved the story especially since I think he said it was while on his honeymoon.
I think I need to stay off Soxtalk for the rest of the day since most likely any return will just depress me and ruin the rest of my Tuesday.....see y'all later this morning.
Just looked at the box score. Is the hold the most useless baseball stat ever? Wilson got his 9th hold of the season for that effort.
I offer up for consideration a new pitching stat....the try....if the official scorer deems they put in the effort a pitcher will be given a try.
So as I see it, Getz thought the closer we got to the trade deadline, the more he'd get.
Meanwhile, the other GMs knew if they waited he would give in.
Alternatively, this is the return Getz wanted and that seems worse.
