  1. Yeah I wouldn't really put anything past Ed Rogers when it comes to spending at this point.
  2. I change my mind...tonight's game is now must-win (or lose by 1)
  3. Need big games out of the top 4 in the lineup tonight
  4. Gotta be honest, it doesn't really feel must win. When you are 0-1 or 1-2 it felt must-win to me. But 6-5 it doesn't really feel that way. But it's still very very important.
  5. Huge game tonight Yanks are getting thrashed in Detroit again so whoever wins tonight will be in 1st place
  6. Ryan Yarbrough just got tagged for another homer. Yankees down 5-0 to Detroit.
  7. I asked ChatGPT to show me what the average Red Sox fan looks like and this is what it created
  8. I always save most of my hatred for the Yanks but every time we play the Red Sox I’m reminded that I hate them too the reminder comes in the form of some Chowderhead screaming out nonsensical obscenities for no reason in particular
  9. Season was saved in this must-win game Great job by Berrios. He could not get a whiff to save his life but his location was nuts tonight
  10. After Schneider very vocal reprimand from the fanbase he's apparently learned his lesson
  11. Oh hell yeah, love the emotion from Berrios
  12. Bregman was hosed Zero confidence they overturn it
  13. oh for the love of god if they call interference on that....
  14. Dick Fitts and the Red Sox are having an inning...time to take advantage
  15. The Gimenez flyout would have traveled into the second deck at Yankee Stadium
  16. Ok bear with me you guys The Toronto Blue Jays should fire Ross Atkins and name Marc Anthony as their next General Manager. He’s clearly got the chops for it—he understands influence, negotiation, and how to close a deal with nothing more than vibes. Plus, the clubhouse playlists would be fire. It'd be like when we had that bongo playing idiot as our manager only the music would actually be GOOD Let the man cook 🌶️🎶⚾
  17. Yes exactly, if he avoids that version of Pujols it will go a long way in justifying his contract
  18. I hate rainouts but the Sox bats are hot and we aren't so a day off might do us some good Might want to skip Easton Lucas too?
  19. I'm not either but that's why it's a key! I think there is a big difference between an overpaid player who can still contribute versus an overpaid player who contributes nothing or even hurts you. Using Vlad as an example, if he's DHing and chipping in with a wRC+ of 115, even if he can't field or run the bases, will put the team in a much better spot than if he is hitting wRC+ 90. The 90 wRC+ version either requires another roster addition while you bury 38 year old Vlad on the bench or play him and have to overcome his negative WAR. The former you just plug into the DH spot and bat him 5th or 6th and can live with it.
  20. There are three keys to making this contract a win for the Jays: Key #1: unlock more launch angle out of Vlad which can get him to a .300 BA with 45 homers statline and 6+ WAR seasons. Probably a pipe dream but it's always going to be a goal so long as his batted ball data is so strong. Key #2: Keep him healthy and hitting until his mid 30s. Essentially, extend the "prime years" for as long as possible. Some dudes can just flat out hit forever and hopefully he's one of them. Even if he never gets back to 6 WAR, if we can get him to rack up 4ish WAR seasons for the next 8 years that's going to help make this deal better. Key #3: Soften the inevitable downfall of the latter years by getting serviceable DH years out of him in his late 30s. He ain't going to be worth 35M a year at that point but there's a big difference between a DH who is able to hit #5 or 6 in a decent lineup and one who is a total waste of a roster spot. If they can do 2 of these 3 then the contract should turn out fine. 2 of these 3 might get him into the Hall of Fame too and it would be pretty damn cool to have a one-franchise Hall of Famer.
  21. As we all know I like to do what we call a little trolling from time to time....and one added benefit to this Vlad signing is that it has provided plenty of ammo to use against the worst people on the internet (aka New Yorkers) So fire up your burner accounts and start wrecking Mets and Yankee fans folks. Doesn't even matter that the Mets just swept us they are shook by this Vlad signing.
