Connely Early and Payton Tolle can absolutely be the Porcello/Eovaldi type pieces behind Crochet & Ranger. They should be untouchable. So impressed with the both of them this year.
One of the biggest “pro” misconceptions is that everyone plays Pokemon for competitive. Telling people they’re “noobs” because they aren’t minmaxing a sun team for a playthrough is retarded. My playthrough teams have 3 rules. Must use starter, no overlapping types, only new mons.
Look I know I’m not a very big account with like 6 followers, but I can’t stand when people buy a checkmark and just start spewing absolute bullshit on my feed. Nobody is “urging” Breslow to trade for an All-Star SS and put him at 2B. wtf are we doing dude.
🚨 TRADE RUMOUR: The @RedSox are being urged to pull off a blockbuster trade for @Nationals All-Star SS CJ Abrams to spark @MLB second-worst offense.
Abrams is slashing .290/.377/.517 with 14 HRs and is under team control through 2028. Could he be Boston’s answer at 2B? 🧐 #RedSox #DirtyWater
Breaking: Executive for team looking to acquire help says “8-1 Starter, Top 5 RHH, and Top 2 Closer that don’t need to be dealt really aren’t very valuable, I personally wouldn’t even pay a top 20 prospect for them. Please temper expectations. plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz”
One AL executive to @Feinsand on the Red Sox potential deadline sell-off:
“Gray’s market will be limited by his salary, Contreras is an acquired taste, Duran is having a down season, and Chapman will be a rental reliever. The potential returns for that group will be tempered.”
The euros are insufferable when it comes to this shit because they love to include “Cray Wanderers” as “London’s oldest professional football club” as if they aren’t playing in Div 7 at a field that would barely pass for a D1 highschool soccer stadium.
@lacshow@JoshInEncinitas If it’s your first day on the job and youre not 15 minutes early you’re already communicating you are a problem. If you can’t even let your employer, who verified with you twice this week the time and location, know you’re running late you don’t deserve to be employed.
@TheJamesCalvey@Pro__Trading He has a public defender, who regardless of his personal thoughts on the matter is required to defend Karmelo to the best of his ability. This is a very important human right and if you think due process should be circumvented because there’s video you’re actually retarded
Is it so ludicrous to think Narvi was talking about the long term? When I read his quotes and the “nobody has talked to me” quote in particular, it felt like he was discussing his place in the clubhouse and future with the team, not his day to day playing time.
Everyone blasting Celo and Roman but this team has been abysmal at home basically every year since 2021 when those guys were in A Ball. This is clearly a front office issue
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. If Machado is mega anti analytics then there’s no way Breslow brings him in on the “power bat with a shitty contract might save my job” special
This Machado interview is wild (start around the 7 minute mark). He’s in the “analytics” is ruining baseball camp and it sounds like he refuses to adapt.
-“It’s definitely getting harder to play, it’s definitely getting more strategic…I just wish we could get analytics out of the game.”
-All these new stats and metrics are pointless (he doesn’t know what any of them mean)
-He just wants to “see ball, hit ball”
Machado is currently hitting .174 with a .619 OPS on the season…
@DiggingInTheDi1@devilninja7777@WomanDefiner If you didn’t have your head up your ass commenting about something you know nothing about you’d know the boomer didn’t own that land, and that it was a public boat ramp. Retard.
I believe Bryan Bello is an extremely talented man with absolutely zero passion for baseball. He has been carried, indifferently, to an MLB roster by talent above work ethic or desire. He is the pitching version of Anthony Rendon. Extending him & hoping that changes was ignorant.
@EdHand89 Rooting against a guy your pitching staff is absolutely depending on is such loser shit. You can call his or Duran or Durbin’s performance out as unacceptable and say they need to be better. But actively hoping they do poorly to validate your dislike is bullshit. Fuck this guy.
@LukeGlanton88@Rational17966 Averages 15 games per year over 4 years “good luck he’s injury prone”. You can’t feed the idiots man it’s just not worth responding to.
When I 1st read the quotes I thought for certain he was talking about the younger guys going out when they’re in Boston, but listening to the clip I think the “outside distractions” are the leagues of data analyst types from the front office. What a mess.
Here’s the video and audio from IKF.
He’s making it very clear that he’s talking about outside distractions surrounding the Red Sox when they’re at home. Pretty powerful statement from one of the veterans.
