Attendance last night was 5112. No wonder they’re trying to move. Them trying to move has nothing to do with their attendance the last few years. The low attendance is by design, it’s what the owner wanted when he traded every recognizable talent and rolled out a AAAA roster the last couple of years That scumbag owner is following the same playbook as the owner from the movie “Major League”. Maybe the A’s will employ a “You Guys Stink!” cardboard cutout of Fisher?

I know he isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but woof. Our dear BoSox seem like just another “asset” in the ol’ FSG portfolio. Sigh.

I always appreciated Jimy's stoic, old school managerial style. RIP, skipper.

Wow can’t believe Vaughn is gonna go .312/.373/.524 next year Mo Vaughn Grissom. Throw in an Eshelman, and we’re in business.

Just seems like starting pitching is so overvalued on the trade market
The get it done price for Cease on ~2/20 million is apparently three guys ranked higher than Kyle Teel on MLB Pipeline's Top 100, plus a little more.
No thanks.

Is it possible our front office didn’t want to go past a certain dollar figure because they want to gear up for a future run at Roki Sasaki?

Alright! Let’s breathe some life back into the MFY rivalry!

Snell costs a draft pick. I know it's not a huge deal measured against the size of the contract he'll get but I'm just not in the mood to spend any kind of future assets right now. Yes. This is one of the reasons I’m liking the idea of Imanaga and a lower cost free agent starter. From there, tighten up the defense, team speed/athleticism, and clubhouse makeup.

Cora was asked about Yamamoto this morning Is Rob Bradford kidding with that flat brim? I hope that’s some kind of attempt at irony. If not… DOUCHE ALERT!!!

Dick Fitts? Nicholas Judice Priest? The names at least work.

When did Brock morph into William H. Macy, circa about 1997?

Quick, sign Maeda. We'd be the only MLB team with two Japanese players. And I kind of like Maeda anyway. Or quickly sign the lefty Japanese starter when he gets posted on Monday. My thoughts exactly. Sign Imanaga and maybe that lefty reliever supposedly being posted. Let’s wheel and deal.

Dougie to the MFY is scary for me. He has been a "decent regular" for us but I always felt that he had a couple of "allstar level" seasons in him. He just never showed that. He is a change of scenery guy...I would just hate to see him breaking out as a Yankee. I wouldn’t send him to the Bronx just so we don’t have to see him add 5-10 wall scraper HRs to that absurd right field porch.

Reading up a little bit more on Fuld. Seems like a lifelong Sox fan, which is what many people want in our new GM. Interesting that he worked for (and closely with) Gabe Kapler when Kapler was the manager for the Phillies. Wonder if Fuld would bring Kapler in as GM or a different front office role… Born & raised in NH. I’d be all in on this scenario.

Nice opening salvo, @misspedey.
I would sign onto that in a heartbeat.
Much appreciated! Long time follower who decided to finally start contributing. I miss Pedey, too.

I wonder what it would cost to sign both Yamamoto and Imanaga? Those two, Sale, Bello, and Pivetta/Crawford. Return Whitlock and Houck to their proper roles as devastating multi-inning relievers.

The end of this season reinforces one thing - there is a human element to this game - you can't use advanced stats to explain it away. Teams can fold - not tank, but fold - down moods, bad moods - effort and performance is effected. We've just witnessed it. We witnessed the impact of the trading deadline. We witnessed the impact of the Bear Claw game. Another thing - When players speak, we need to pay attention. What Jansen said - if he said it, he isn't the only player thinking it. Last - the offense is not OK. I don't care about how many total runs we scored, or the batting average. It is not how much you score it is when. It is scoring runs to win games. We left a small city of runner on base this year. Every aspect of this team needs work. Every single one. 7-22 in our last 29. That's a pretty bad team. What did Jansen purportedly say?

Does Cora not deserve maybe a bit of heat for repeated September "we're done" jobs from his rosters?

4 2/3. Another short start. What a surprise On only 85 pitches. It’s excruciating to watch this team.

Bases loaded no outs and we have 2 guys strike out looking back to back. So many dumb players on this team. It’s this type of stuff that has driven so many of us looney this season. Being an average-ish team is one thing, but it’s excruciating to see such haphazard between-the-ears baseball so often.

Now THAT is something. Exciting day with Anthony and Teel coming to Portland. That’s a must-see roster.
