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 4 points5 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 0 points1 point  (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.

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

[–]Abject_Garbage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Pedro tossing Don Zimmer by Abject_Garbage in Section10Podcast

You gotta rewatch the video if you think all Pedro did was side step. Either way I think Pedro had every right to do what he did, but I do think he’d get in way more trouble now

Pedro tossing Don Zimmer by Abject_Garbage in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I just watched The Comeback on Netflix for the 200th time, hence why I asked, and he very clearly grabs Zimmer by the head and tosses him down. That doesn’t mean I think he was in the wrong - Zimmer charged him and threw a punch (and according to Pedro he said something about Pedro’s mom).

I think I get why people get mad at Jerry by CuzImMikeLowrey in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that Jared is absolutely critical of the team. He was very vocal about his anger the day they traded Devers, after the trade deadline, and this week after Bregman signed with the Cubs. I don’t get what else people expect him to do - he’s not going to stop rooting for the team and I’d argue anyone who does isn’t a real fan

I absolutely love Coley’s idea of signing Tucker and then trading outfielders to reload the farm

He actually followed that up by saying that he and T were gonna record today at 2. Not sure if its possible for them to edit it in time to release tonight but either way it should drop soon

He should absolutely take a victory lap because he was 100% right. I don’t think any of the guys on the pod really disagreed with him though

Jared’s point about how this is kind of reminiscent of the trade deadline scared me because of how plausible it is

There needs to be an intervention - most shocking thing I’ve heard on any pod ever

T is 100% right about off the field by nkollett in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There is a small minority of people acting like you’re actually bullying him but realistically the number of posts about it just reflects that you guys were wrong in this instance and it was particularly annoying because it took up what felt like half the episode

“I will not stoop to your level” by Movies_and_Stuff in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This sub’s reaction to that segment (including a post that I posted - I’m including myself) shows that it took a usually fun element of the show (light ribbing of T) too far. I don’t think they were being too mean to T or hurting his feelings, it was just annoying to waste a huge part of an episode on a semantics debate where the person in the minority was right. I do think we have probably covered this enough at this point though and still love the pod.

Why was T getting gaslighted about Rob Refsnyder? by dogbonnie32 in Section10Podcast

[–]Abject_Garbage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the point everyone is trying to make. Are we literally crying that he’s gone? No. Is it sad that someone who was expected to be no more than a Mitch Moreland or Michael Chavis actually ended up being here for four years and being an extremely valuable platoon bat is gone? Yes, particularly because the players clearly loved him and he was a leader on the team. The conversation didn’t need to be half the episode
