That's a terrible argument lol So you can predict it? Please tell me who the next guy is. lol, dude, my issue is that you're stating the obvious and acting like it's some amazing breakthrough you've come to.

That's a terrible argument lol Fenway is a strong long time poster. He seems to have a blind spot on this issue. Give him a break. He won't question your IQ. Or tell you you don't know the game. What is this kindergarten? I have to appease him and pat his head when he says something nonsensical?

Hanley has a truly remarkable knack for doing it wrong. That's honestly not a bad play when you're up this much in the game. Rasmus made an excellent throw

You have said you don't care about steroid use, but respond every time. Can cause and effect be proven? No. Would players be risking millions doing it if they didn't think it helped? No. So you agree that you cannot reliably predict who will get popped based on any statistical indicators. That's a terrible argument lol

God, I want to mute this game so bad. How is it that a awful blowout game with Remy and Orsillo announcing is better than listening to a O'Brien/Lyons game that the Sox are winning?

How Bautista and Encarnacion have gone this long without testing positive is a mystery. It's pretty simple if you accept that player performance and steroid use have never been correlated in any reliable way. lol

For those critical of John's in game management and want to promote Lovullo, do you believe he makes those decisions in a vacuum? What are bench coaches for, anyway? I see them constantly communicating in the dugout. Also see John chatting with the pitching coach on pitcher issues. Not saying it's management by committee, but those guys all have a voice on game decisions. Lol, this is a nice piece of fiction. Yes, of course Lovullo is involved. But it is Farrell's choice, and he does not go to Lovullo for every choice. I think it was on a podcast, maybe with Bradford where Lovullo sort of outlined what he does. He's there to help Farrell, support him, and at times challenge him. It's dumb to sit there and say "Lovullo is probably the same guy." We've seen Lovullo manage, and he's a decidedly different manager. I honestly can't even really ever mentioning Lovullo when he was managing, and so far Farrell has dominated the storylines with his poor choices.

Pretty smart of Wright to bean Colabello in the head and then "gift" him a trojan horse of Johnnie Walker Blue Label spiked with Turanabol.

Pretty damning results to this poll so far.
I wonder if they boot him when Erod and Smith come back. Not sure if they give him a shot with those guys (with something closer to the intended roster) or if they boot him right before so Lovullo's team has reinforcements and it looks like they made the right call.

So you care about Workman that much? I thought it was a good question. It's like asking about new wallpaper options for the guest room in a house that's going to be demolished

I think "who cares" is a good answer haha. He's not saving this team from anything this year. Those of us who have bought tickets to games care. Even if they're just a .500 team I still enjoy going to games. I've been lucky enough to be 2-0 so far but Farrell has been infuriating. So you care about Workman that much?

What's the time table for Workman return? I think "who cares" is a good answer haha. He's not saving this team from anything this year.

Hopefully checking Salem Boxscore will wash away that bad taste in my mouth. You'll get a great look at some players Dombrowski will trade away to try to right this mess lol

Eh I guess they would've just brought in a righty anyway. Fair point, but I might rather have Young (and his extreme fly ball profile) versus a RHP than Bradley versus a tough lefty there. ehhh Jackie looked good against lefties last year. Put in Chris Young and you get a .5xx ops matchup with meh defense for the rest of the game.

God I loathe Steve Lyons.
Can't believe we're probably going from Remy & Orsillo to O'Brien and Lyons. Sigh

Owens is trending away from being a heavy heavy flyball guy, which is good, but I also worry about trusting guys numbers in the minors when it's largely all about the changeup when the guy doesn't have control on the fastball. ML hitters are a different breed. Would really love it if Owens panned out tho.

They can afford to trade Margot because he's a platoon player who can't hit 70% of the pitchers in the majors lol
it's also asinine to think that system depth has nothing to do with trades or how they value a player lol. You can think it's wrong all you want, but sometimes trading from an area of depth makes sense, even if you're giving up a little more value. People on this board would never be able to pull off trades if they were a gm lol
