Back to .500! Love taking the series from that f***ing team. Let’s get going now! Got excellent pitching from all 3 of your best arms this one. Rockies hittable? They need to get the bats going again.
Seabold is throwing tomorrow. As good a game as any to get the bats going again
McGarnagle
Yes.

So when you said, "they are not watching this team", you meant they weren't watching every game?
OK

I don't know why you are getting bogged down by this. It's all in the context of ratings anyway. I don't have an exact inning count on what fans watch. But when the team is in last place/mediocre, ratings will suffer. Watching a baseball game every night is a big commitment. Fans are obviously less likely to invest that time in a subpar product.
Guy is looking at it the whole way and at the last second he looks away like he's in the clear.

Actually, another poster was giving crap about it and I felt the need to respond.
Had no intention of dragging this out. Pretty sure I am quite out of touch with what constitutes fandom in these current times anyway.

Fangraphs published an overview of the Red Sox' Top 46 prospects today. Well worth your time if you're into that sort of thing.
blogs.fangraphs.com
This system is extremely healthy. It has a thick layer of impact talent up top, above-average overall depth, and most impressively, it is balanced and heterogenous in the types of prospects that comprise it. There are compact hitters with profiles driven by their bat-to-ball skill, projectable young pitchers, big-bonus infielders with flashy tools, older college arms whose stuff has clearly been designed in a lab — a little bit of everything. With two DSL affiliates, both of which feature a very young contingent of up-the-middle players (most of whom are 17 as of publication), there could be another wave on the way like the fun group of position players passing through Boston’s A-levels right now. This is pretty comfortably a top 10 farm system, and the Rays, Orioles and Red Sox have separated themselves from the Yankees’ and Blue Jays’ systems in a sizable way.

Top 10 farm. Love to see it! Hope they just keep adding with this draft coming up.
Remember when one (1) evaluator had them in the 20’s and that was the only ranking that the negative people on sports radio/the toxic side of this fanbase ran with? I doooooooo

Speaking of prospects, very excited to see Perales pitched a great game.
www.thedynastydugout.com
Perales fastball has nice life at the top of the zone and is averaging over 15 inches of IVB on it. It has some of the best life I have seen on a fastball in Single-A or High-A. It is even up there with AJ Smith-Shawver’s fastball, which I saw earlier this year.
If Perales continues to develop his secondaries and adds even a tick of velocity to the fastball, there is potential for a number two starter. Worst case scenario, you are likely looking at a solid bullpen arm. But I feel better about projecting Perales to be a starter than a reliever at this point. The next step would be a bump to High-A for his next challenge.

Of course you do because you are Mr. Strawman. All I will say is this is not Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Oakland. It's not just about having a highly rated system and hoping that it works out for you and translates to Ws. You have to do both when you are the GM of the Red Sox. You have the resources to win at a good clip while also building a system. At the time that ranking came out it's not like there were other rankings that got released the same day. It got talked about because it was current news. In the end I personally don't care one bit if the system is ranked #1 or dead last. Do your job and win baseball games. How you get there doesn't matter to me. I am not obsessed with prospects like a lot of people are.
