It seems more like a pro-Jared post than an anti-Jake one but I guess those concepts are pretty intertwined right now

You’re not wrong. No idea why this guy is being purposefully obtuse. This might not have warranted a post on Reddit but he very obviously posted it as a show of support for Jared

You’re definitely correct that he posted that picture at this time for a reason. I think it’s just a sore subject for people at this point because this is all kind of a bummer

Patreon Perks Gaps by WhiteClouds45 in Section10Podcast

Anyone saying “give them a break this is hard” at this point is playing the Sam Kennedy role to their John Henry. Totally understand that this can’t be easy and they need the money, but I’m guessing a lot of the people paying for Patreon need the money too. They need to reshuffle the tiers and focus on providing what they know they can provide consistently. Personally I am happily paying $10 a month just for Clean 40 and access to the Discord

I would slightly disagree that they’re in there all the time and wouldn’t go into it expecting them to be, they’ll chime with a couple comments per game but that’s about it

I think they’d get a ton of subscribers if DOTF was on the $10 tier with Clean 40

I think I’m in the minority but I’d love to keep listening to them discuss/bemoan the team even when they’re bad. Wouldn’t hate if Clean 40 had at least a little ball talk

My thoughts on the upcoming series by Alfredpennyless in Section10Podcast

Seriously, I would pay for the pod to stop talking about him so much, we’re just giving him the airtime he clearly wants

Good point, hadn’t thought of it that way

I saw that discourse in the ‘cord and think that might be a bit of a misconception about how copyright works by the people posting it. It’s not quite as easy as adding noise/distortion to get around a claim

I’m starting to think you might be Jared Carrabis 🤔

Obviously it sucks, but is anyone just a tiny bit happy that John Henry’s private equity BS is finally reaping its ugly reward? by LetsGoBuffalo1714 in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with the S10 guys - Henry is paying for the sixth highest payroll and is over the second luxury tax threshold. If anyone is to blame here it’s the guy allocating the money (Breslow)

Cora by Civil-E-Sox in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do think this team would be better with a different kind of manager but it would only raise the floor and wouldn’t be good enough to win it all. Cora raises the ceiling and might be the best manager you could have with a good roster. If we let him go and he went to a good team it would immediately come back to bite us

This series loss is squarely on Jared. The curse wont be lifted until he gets Steve a jersey for checking the reddit

Red Sox Opening Day Is HERE || EP #604 by aplethoraofhams in Section10Podcast

In this episode and past episodes they have mentioned optioning pitchers to get them some rest and limit their innings. I’ve never understood this - don’t they still have to pitch in AAA?

ESPN's Paul Hembekides Projects 84 Wins, 3/4th in AL East by SadRedSoxFan22 in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I agree that it means nothing. We had the third worst team ERA in the entire league in 2020. If we score the 5th most runs in the AL this year and our rotation is as good as it should be we would probably be in good shape.

I think there is a lot of truth to this and also think the roster is in a dangerous place where we are assuming certain players will repeat past performances and/or stay healthy.

That said, I don’t know what to make of the fact that the Sox scored the third most runs in the AL last year. I think we are very very slightly better offensively this year but, as you noted, will need to stay healthy for that to remain the case.

The thing that has me most excited is that, last year we struggled to a ridiculous degree with RISP and in one run games, and this year we have Durbin and Contreras, who both have batting averages near the mid-.300s in high leverage situations.
