Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season VII - White Sox clean out the front office

[Dennis Bonvie]

well oakland and kc don't spend, how are they doing?

And this has what to do about my post?

 

[Johnnyduke]

Really? In what way?

The Sox are 8 games over .500. Better than all the teams in the AL Central.

Padres are 7 games under .500, Mets 11 games under. Sox are significantly better than both of them.
And twice as interesting as either of them.

I have no idea what you're talking about. This was never about comparing the Red Sox to the Mets/Padres.

you mentioned excessively spending and I asked your opinion about teams that don't spend. Big money teams can implode, spending money doesnt mean you win. If you look at WS series champions a high majority of the time the big money teams win and a team like KC wins very rarely

Contrarianism has its merits in a forum and keeps conversation grounded, but if left unchecked at some point it just turns into a parody of itself.

Maybe try filling people in on what you're referring to

Are you a contrarian if you don't think Sox are top 6/7 team in league?

This is your post from about 3 hours ago:

"I don't see how it's better. At least the Mets and Padres are still interesting/relevant. They are making more of an attempt to win baseball games. The absolute worst franchises in any sport are the ones that don't spend, suck, and then whine about how they can't compete."

Yes, it was. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Red Sox.

Kevin Millar just called Adam Duval's 3 run HR.....

 

[Johnnyduke]

What an absolute cluster of an inning

 

[Johnnyduke]

I like Millar better as the 3rd guy in the booth. A little too much talking for me, like he's on his 5th red bull.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Verdugo with some horrible baserunning.

Eros by McGuire and Devers.

Sox lead, 3-1.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

So much bad D.

 

[CDJ]

devers with a total asshole performance tonight

They’re not winning this one, way too sloppy again

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Well, we didn't have to wait too long for part 2.

In a perfect world, MLB allows them a second DH spot to have enough slots for Yoshida and Devers.

It's truly amazing the bombs you will throw at the best player on the team! Not to mention the Xander slander.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Devers should not even wear a glove, sickening.

Should have traded Packstsitin.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Paxton has a big dump in his pants tonight too #ppg

 

[CDJ]

Just not gonna win when your 30 mill guy is playing like the worst player in baseball

Totally useless if he isn’t hitting the ball hard. AB quality is bad, major negative in the field, dumb baserunner

Well, we didn't have to wait too long for part 2.

I think they legitimately have to consider trading Yoshida. Good hitter. Just doesn’t really fit on this roster if Raffy is gonna be an asshole and regress with the glove. He is the least athletic OF’er I have ever seen

 

[Johnnyduke]

Hahaha again trashing Devers for a singular bad game. Never stop hating actual good players @CDJ

Being the best player on the team shouldn't make you immune from criticism.

Ya and if you can't notice the pattern with the poster in question I don't know what to tell you. Maybe others should try calling out one of the gatekeepers.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Devers is an atrocity in the field. Is there something worse than an atrocity?

 

[Mione134]

Raffy needs more plate discipline

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Raffy needs more plate discipline

He had to swing at the last pitch. The one before that would have been ball 4 I think.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I think we can also acknowledge the starting pitcher has not been good today. Not sure why such a long leash.
