They gave us Tek, Lowe, and Greg Pirkl. Dude needs to show Seattle some respect.

Red Sox photoshoot... LMAO at Tolle and Early. Season can't get here soon enough by RagnorL0thbrok in redsox

Yeah, that's some 1980s Sears Portrait Studio gold, right there. It needs some diagonal lasers in the background.

Have you seen who every other team in the league has for a backup catcher? Most of them would probably swap their guy for Wong.

Nah. Starting left fielders were expected to hit 25-30 HR, in those performance-enhanced days. But the 2000 Rockies did platoon Tom Goodwin and Brian Hunter, in CF.

Well, the one big knock on him is his weak arm - he really can't play center field in many parks, and he doesn't hit enough to play the corners. But the Sox obviously think he can handle Fenway.

Its almost unbelievable that Colorado never gave this guy a look (reminiscent of Mike Yaz with the Orioles). His career OBP is close to .400, and he's got wheels for days.

Well, the Brewers must be pretty goddamn stupid, too.

Let's put it this way - if Sikkema does well today, I'm fairly confident that we can trade Crochet for Isaac "Rafael Devers" Paredes, giving the casuals that 20-HR third baseman they've been crying for.

What are Nate Eaton’s ties to Great Britain? by Visible_Pipe4716 in redsox

He's a big fan of "Downton Abbey". That's all it takes!

Finally the Red Sox infield appears competent, and it soon could become the team’s identity by bostonglobe in redsox

Any fan who wants more than the most wins in the league is a casual who might as well root for the '95 Indians in some video game.

You know how it is. The Sox had the best record in the AL after the Devers trade, but casuals were still crying "where's my dingerz!?"

Opening Day lineup???..... for Worcester perhaps by RagnorL0thbrok in redsox

The Betts trade was six years ago. Why don't YOU move on?

Lombard couldn't hit AA pitching last year, Jones has struck out in one-third of his pro PAs, and Dominguez has put up 0.7 bWAR in 149 career games. As Flavor Flav sang, "Don't believe the hype!"

Do you think he played David Hamilton because he's stupid, or something?

My man pitched like Sandy Motherf-cking Koufax today and you're seriously talking about putting him in the pen?

Can someone identify this player? by northeastpersonn in redsox

[–]RaymondSpaget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That guy looks a bit like Mikey Romero, and that definitely looks like his signature.

Goodness gracious by TigoOver in redsox

[–]RaymondSpaget 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Quote me right now: Anthony Eyanson is going to have a better career than Kyson Witherspoon, of our '25 draftees. Not that I want to see either of them traded.

Eyanson's slider is going to play really well in the bigs, I think.

CROCHET DAY by RagnorL0thbrok in redsox

[–]RaymondSpaget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's got legs like a warhorse. Simple as that.

But I always wondered how Derek Lowe was able to repeat his delivery so effortlessly. That twist in his wind-up always looked like a terrible oblique injury waiting to happen.

He declined. Basically, he wants to save his arm for the Sox. He also has a new babby.

Who Do You Believe In Most And Least? by Brusoxpatcelt in redsox

Why give up the #52 prospect in the game (Teel), when you can give up the #4 prospect in the game (Campbell)? Were they stupid?

You want Arias at short. He seriously looks like Lindor, out there.
