He was so good at analyzing the youngsters he has now realized none of them were actually qualified to play at the big league level?

Either it will be nice to watch some quality defense, even if there's no offense. Sox philosophy under KW was hit a lot of homers and be entertaining while usually finishing in the upper half of division. Now it's just to simply play fundamentally sound low scoring baseball that's the furthest thing from entertaining possible. Then force us to watch Moncada instead of Burger...one of the few guys who was actually fun to watch hit and was someone you could actively root for because of everything he overcame. Might as well run Aparicio and Fox out there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Owen Miller come on down...just so we can corner the market on ISU Redbirds and any other local products. Nick Massey probably shouldn't be investing in a house in the KC metro area, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Nothing to get excited about and realizing that he’s only here until Montgomery is ready, since we aren’t going anywhere for awhile I hope they don’t rush Monty.

It's insane to pick him up 2-3 years too late just for "character" and "fundamentals" while simultaneously blocking younger players who will actually be around the next time the Sox are decent four or five years from now.

Does anyone know how to like photoshop an image from Mike Tyson Punchout on Nintendo? Remember after a fight when you beat someone the two guys profiles are up there and Mac says something and the other guys picture he beat (like Glass Joe) shows he's beaten up and he says something else. Can we do that when Eloy is traded? Like shop Eloys face into the Glass Joe side and call it Glass Eloy...birthplace Dominican Republic and then have Mac say "Next time don't eat ice cream at a kids birthday party and maybe you won't get a throat contusion" and then on the Eloy side it will say "Bye, Mom!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
