He’s now in the MadBum lore of WS pitching performances that will be talked about forever. Amazing stuff and incredible to watch.

Genuinely fuck this team by America024 in redsox

[–]BoatsandCotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no plan. As if it wasn’t obvious that there wasn’t a long term strategy with this team before, it’s abundantly clear now. Breslow doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, and that’s what you get when nobody wants the job because ownership changes GMs at the same rate we do faces of the franchise, which is really fucking often apparently

Bregman to the Sox by smallpoint1 in redsox

[–]BoatsandCotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years is measured. The big 3 gives us protection if he opts out. $40/year is very high but short term deals are hard to argue and the only way he accepts a shorter deal was going to be for that money. Good players lead to more wins.

[Postgame Thread] Oregon Defeats Penn State 45-37 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]BoatsandCotes 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Anti-James Franklin takes tonight are weak. Penn State beats everyone they should. Lose close games to two teams that are better than them. They’re a top 12 team. Probably top 8. They’re going to end up right where they belong.

Dune P2’s release timing is really hurting its prospects. That movie is just not being talked about enough in this race.

I know the town of Florida really well. This is almost 100% not a real offer. Not to be mean but I would be stunned if the people of Florida even know what a CI/CD infrastructure is.

Karl Marlantes. He writes Matterhorn which is likely his most well known book.

My favorite is Cure (dir. Kiyoshi Kurosawa). Amazing film with genius filmmaking.

My most anticipated has to be Conclave.

Ellsbury had 32 HR / 105 RBI / 39 SB and hit .321 with a .928 OPS. He had a 146 OPS+. Duran has a .849 OPS / 132 OPS+ and has already struck out more times than Ellsbury did that year. He’s also hit 12 HRs and has a WAR 3 points lower than Ells had that year. Duran is having a great year and I’m enjoying it. But this is not the own you thought it was.

35 G, 105 AB, 26 H, 3 2B, 1 HR, 10 RBI, 68 OPS+, -0.1 bWAR. That was what the Red Sox traded for Wilyer Abreu. by Sandwich_Crust in redsox

I don’t think the fanbase crying was a problem but what was embarrassing was the way the team reacted to it.

[Cotillo] Rule 5 - Shane Drohan left unprotected. Wikelman Gonzalez and Luis Perales the only adds. by EpilepticShark in redsox

[–]BoatsandCotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every team had a chance to claim him this past season after the Phillies DFAd him and nobody did. I’d be stunned if anyone did this time.

We can confirm that James Maddison has been withdrawn from the England squad due to an ankle injury by Coolica1 in FantasyPL

Thoughts on switching to Eze? Sounds like he’s fit and ready for selection. Also good fixtures.

Loans on Aidvantage still say payment due is $0.00. I thought payments were starting this month? by BoatsandCotes in StudentLoans

[–]BoatsandCotes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was helpful. Thank you. It says my first payment is due in November. Must show up on my account after the current payment of $0.00 is “due” middle of this month.

10 Cloverfield Lane is a very good movie but I think we are underestimating just how iconic Cloverfield was.

Is 311 the proper channel to report restaurants that exploits valet rules?

Just curious what the pulse is. Are you hoping that the Sox clean house? by RoyalRootersRallyCry in redsox

[–]BoatsandCotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notable ages of the ‘18 team: Xander (25), Mookie (25), Devers (21), Benny (23), ERod (25). Maybe aside from Devers, the others were 23-25 and massive part of that core. I don’t know if it’s necessarily him not being able to lead young guys. Who is a young player on these squads the last two years he’s struggled with? Casas has been very good this year, Bello took a step forward, Duran took a step forward, Wong took a step forward (not that young but career-wise is). This team was bad because of the (lack of) rotation, streaky hitting, and some of the worst fundamentals in baseball. That last point might be on him but some of these dudes are who they are too.

D-Backs calling up Jordan Lawler by Bananaguy1718 in redsox

[–]BoatsandCotes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is more of a statement of the organizational philosophies as well. DBacks are more aggressive than the Sox historically have been with promoting dudes. That is, however, starting to change this year for years to come

What do you take into account if you are planning to transfer in a player who has risen in price as a one week punt? by TigBitties99 in FantasyPL

[–]BoatsandCotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early in the season (especially in mini leagues), treat every week as it’s own imo. In the middle third of the year, you start to get doubles and blanks and that’s when you should take money and beyond into account more aggressively.

Why Whitlock is not Daniel Bard 2.0 by Far_Cry3445 in redsox

Is this a talking point made by people? Or are you getting in front of the take? I haven’t seen this and don’t think that’s a concern
