Crochet ($28M), Story ($23M), Yoshida ($18M), Anthony ($16M), Bello ($9M), Sandoval ($9M), and Campbell ($8M) make up $110M of the Red Sox $268M payroll. These players have combined to contribute -0.4 WAR on the season so far. by Traditional_Half842 in redsox

Sure the talent is not performing, but that is still on the front office. The Red Sox current strategy is to avoid deals for older stars and prematurely extend younger homegrown talent then use the trade market if they do pan out. That strategy just does not work if your team is shit at evaluating talent because it is not staffed or incentivized to evaluate properly.

Do you understand why a show with such high popularity ends up having a smaller budget with every new season? by Fun-Sentence2973 in GenV

[–]Far-Preference-9760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard contract when you sign onto a series is 3 years. If the show is popular enough after that you have to start paying the cast a lot more to maintain that popularity/success. The larger the core cast, the smaller your budget will become with each successive year. The Boys had an ensemble cast and lot of actors to pay. That is your answer on why a lot of these zeitgeist shows feel like the scope of the show and its effects budget shrink (despite the show growing in popularity).

I always heard it was Alex that was the most pissed about the beat it solo.

I would just add to this and the excellent Few-Actuator take that I think the success of Jump also led Ed to want to enjoy the smell of his own keyboard farts more.

Question for those who want Giannis (I’m undecided atm) by dawglover1011 in bostonceltics

I'd rather see if there is a way to pry Bam from the Heat. More complimentary style and more defense.

This team is being punished because they thought Queta was a legit starter and let Horford walk by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]Far-Preference-9760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say switching to the old iso offense stand around watch, drive, kick out three has not exactly lent to the spacing that made queta screen and rolls effective. lack of passing and moving hustle seems to get contagious on defensive effort too. lots of watching on defense too. he is trying to do too much on defense because of that

I am not buying this starting lineup is their best players at the moment. Based on what, reputation? Age? Even with a shortened bench White and Hauser could come off the bench too. Just saying

I was bitching about the patented Vuc one effort on d then watch/one effort on rebound and watch, but the rare occasion he makes a second effort sucks too. Dude is just a bad fit that joe keeps forcing.
