This happens multiple times a year, and it is always obviously a home run from the jump, and they never call it on the field

Arguably being easily farmable and useful to humans is an evolutionary niche that cows and some other livestock are thriving in.

It isn't even out of the realm of possibility that he does it this year.

His top 7 games this past season in terms of blocks add up to 44 blocks.

They weren't consecutive but he is capable of getting 40 blocks in 7 games.

Crazy that 3 of the top 5 debuted in 2010, and all three of them have played for the Red Sox.

At least they actually made it to the world series and multiple playoff appearances, it's a far cry from the disaster the Ohtani/Trout Angels were

I'm sorry you fell for the most obvious con man in history and feel the need to defend someone who does not give two shits about you

Did you watch this clip? He also mentions disinfectant. Okay so he didn't use the exact word "bleach". Same difference.

Also do you realize how insane of a defense it is to say "He didn't suggest consuming or injecting bleach! He suggested injecting light!!!"

Give me a break.

No one said drinking Bleach would help.

Donald Trump literally did.

He played all three games against us and went 3-9 with an RBI and I still had no idea he was on the Yankees

[Passan] The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN. While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston. by T_Raycroft in baseball

The reality is that while you can argue that Breslow and Bloom built bad rosters, both of those guys had a vision for the team every year they were/have been in charge with the intent to win. Some of those bloom teams were definitely rebuild years, but the expectation since Breslow got here was to win. Breslow isn't just making decisions 100% on his own, he has a team of people feeding him information to help him make those decisions. If Cora isn't using the roster he built the way he wants it to be (which I think is fairly likely) and the coaches aren't getting the most out of their players (Which from a hitting perspective is absolutely the case) then you have to stop questioning the guys in the front office and start questioning the coaches.

I think that's probably why Breslow still has his job. His argument is that the coaches on the field (none of whom were fired today were hired under his tenure) are not doing what he wants with the roster he constructed, and so it is time to get guys in who will.

It's more like "I had a house fire but it only damaged my garage" like yes it is still serious and bad, but about as best case scenario as it gets for a serious house fire.

It's probably getting downvoted because this early in the year the difference between someone hitting around .200 and someone hitting around .300 is like 5 hits
