fucking napoli. at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes somewhat consistent at the plate the rest of this season and the team still continues to repeatedly shit itself

trampa bay's SP, matt moore, has a 7.61 ERA and kelly (5.94) is pitching for boston so this'll prob be a high-scoring game of absolute shit-tasticness

always credited theo more for 2004/2007 than larry and yea I'm prob being halfway irrational with the fuckwords
but yea I don't think his influence has been positive in the front office for quite some time
― extremely lag∞n postings voice (slothroprhymes), Sunday, 2 August 2015 00:13 (eight years ago) link
if one allows that he's been less involved over the past year it's enough to make me wish he was staying.

if he really has been battling an injury that /might/ explain some of his struggles but honestly I think he's just flailing

I'd agree. his command and alarming tendency to pitch high are sus but those things can prob be worked on, seeing as he's 23

I know napoli going was best for all involved, but it still kinda hurts
8 remaining players from the '13 title team now - workman (TJ), buchholz (collapsing body), koji (old), tazawa (declining), breslow (hot garbage), pedroia (injured, prob shut down for the season soon) ortiz (old, declining, still kinda mashing tho), bogaerts (being of pure goodness and light and extra-base hits)
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 8 August 2015 20:34 (eight years ago) link
i don't want to alarm you, but pedroia turns 32 next week
― mookieproof, Saturday, 8 August 2015 20:50 (eight years ago) link
32 isn't that bad, I'm concerned about what he's like when he's 36 and still has 2 more years on a contract that iirc includes an almost ironclad no-trade
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 8 August 2015 21:10 (eight years ago) link
not that they'd ever put him out to pasture, the front office is already thinking about how they're gonna market his twilight years/retirement
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 8 August 2015 21:12 (eight years ago) link
i don't think taz is declining (he's never seemed as good to me as his numbers suggest but that's not new), i think he's just overused b/c the bullpen is awful.

fwiw i'm actually happy that vance worley accepted an outright assignment to triple-a, so
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 01:58 (eight years ago) link
oh I mean, I got nothing against masterson, he's just past his prime and if another team claims him and he can help as a bullpen guy, that's good, his all star status was legitimate not so long ago
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 02:13 (eight years ago) link
not to mention, sox are obviously cooked for the year and it's their turn to be cooked for a hot minute, cherington's idea that the team could go back to win-now right after a failed season was stupid and obviously stems from the stupid media environment surrounding this team and the meatball portions of the fanbase, which are quite sizable

i was gonna come up, maybe, for the Saberseminar this weekend, which had both Cherington and Farrell as scheduled speakers
also it's sposed to rain, so i figured i wouldn't even see the Royals win in Fenway
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 August 2015 02:59 (eight years ago) link
Has any GM ever been fired less than two years after winning the WS? (yeah, Cherington technically resigned after being encouraged to stay on by Dombrowski, but when the team hires a guy like that to oversee you, they're essentially firing you and waiting for you to take the hint)

Dan Shaughnessy @Dan_Shaughnessy 10m10 minutes agoBetting Dombrowski will not be afreaid to part with ever-overrated "untouchable" prospects in Sox always-overrated system.
but will he be afraid? this "afreaid" seems like a radical concept one wouldn't want in the first place

Hey Andy should we be happy about Dombrowski's likely approach to the Bosox farm system? He appears to have a very different philosophy than the "grow 'em gently (and sometimes forever)" style favored by the Cherington/Lucch mob
