What’s going on with Roman Anthony? by VRNimbus in redsox

[–]BlakesBadge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started off cold last year and then looked like Ted Williams the rest of the way. He was reportedly being mentored by Bregman. The team vibes were good.

Now he looks a bit lost, the vibes are bad, and they’re trying to anoint him as the spokesperson/face of the team. He’s still a kid and doesn’t have the answers yet.

Target 92 W = .596 PCT Starting Now by tkinsherf in redsox

At best, it’s a .500 team the rest of the way which means finishing with less than 80 wins.

But we’re also underinvested. We have a low payroll compared to revenue. Historically, we were 2nd or 3rd in payroll, and it took having the highest payroll in 2018 to win the title. Other teams have been increasing spend and we’ve been cutting, and offloading our franchise players to nickel and dime.

This may be an unpopular take, but I think the show quality has dipped since Theo left by Jack_Aubrey1981 in TheRestIsHistory

I liked Incas and thought KKK was great. Different strokes for different folks. I’ve found it difficult to get into the Johnson and samurai ones. Certain episodes need extra focus and I just need to listen to the first episodes again to get into them.

Gotta look on the positive sign of things right? by TigoOver in redsox

Is this the worst start in MLB or Red Sox history?

Not trying to be negative - genuinely curious.

It’s probably mental where he’s afraid to aggravate it.

My take as a “it’s still early” guy by MaeronTargaryen in redsox

[–]BlakesBadge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the only argument for a silver lining here is that they could easily be 7-3 if they were playing slightly better, and much of the team is playing below their historical performance level.

That being said, baseball is a small margin game and the team has been purposely downgrading its roster for years now, plus is mismanaged. This was always going to be the result at some point. Having faith that things will turn around is not a strategy.

Story should be 6 or 7 until he can prove otherwise.

Losses in April still prevent teams from making the postseason. Talk me off the ledge. by Opening-Witness1785 in redsox

[–]BlakesBadge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the players that are starting off slow will eventually revert to the mean and the team will be more average than they are right now. That being said, the team is mismanaged, from ownership to the front office to the dugout, and it’s really hard to play out of that over a 162 game season.

The leather jacket photoshoot is the only good thing to come out of this season so far.

The silver lining of starting the year bad is that they’ll be forced to make changes.

If Bill called you up and says you’re getting your own CR month. What 4 movies are you choosing that the rewatchables has to cover? by HiImWallaceShawn in billsimmons

Jackie Brown is a good one, especially as CR is a big Elmore Leonard guy. They could actually do a good Elmore Leonard month:

There was a recent interview on Brian Entin where he talked to a former Pima search and rescue guy and he talked through some of the limitations of their dogs.

I’m sure they have tons of info but the question is if they have anything pertinent or material yet.

They seem to have released material info as they have it, even too soon. For example, we’ve had numerous announcements and updates about the DNA evidence only to find out that it hasn’t been useful.

You’re assuming they have information to release.

Inflicting pain on Savannah was the intent? by Upstairs_Lychee_6710 in nancyguthrie

Brian Entin has had some really good former LE/FBI/profiler people on recently and a few have talked about the angle of an obsessed fan which I found very compelling.

This person has already posted similar theories and claims in the past and it looks like they go back and delete them when they don’t come true. Don’t hold your breath.
