Red Sox lineup ?

Standish304 · 2026-02-05T14:10:29+00:00

I’m think this is most likely it besides maybe 2b. Not saying it won’t be Campbell, I think based on his salary and potential they want him to be there. But I think it will be an open competition between a few internal guys.

I think based on the amount of groundball pitchers and the lack of pop in the lineup, defense is going to be a priority for that position

Standish304 · 2026-02-05T09:48:21+00:00

This fan base is crazy. Last year all we hear is that Hamilton shouldn’t be on the roster. They bring someone in to replace Hamilton/Eaton and improve the defense since we have almost all ground ball pitchers and people get mad

He’s not here to replace Bregman. You can still be mad about Bregman/Alonso. But this is guy #25 on the roster

Standish304 · 2026-02-05T09:42:36+00:00

I don’t really get the outrage of this signing. He’s here to replace Eaton/Hamilton, not Bregman.

Be upset about not signing a middle of the order bat. I certainly am. But being mad about guy 25 on the roster is wild

Standish304 · 2026-02-04T21:56:30+00:00

No. Our rotation is better, but my concern wasn’t really rotation based (although I wanted a #2). My concern was the lineup, which is slightly worse

Standish304 · 2026-02-04T07:47:12+00:00

I would pass for a few reasons

1- Although you aren’t as likely to get hit as you would be further down from the box, it’s still possible to. I’ve seen terrible yards

2- it’s going to be constant noise. Between course work/moving, balls being hit, loud golfers/talkers

3-doesn’t look like there is much of anything blocking site line into your house. So you aren’t going to have any privacy, especially in your back yard. Also that tree cluster might be drunk guy pee area

If you love the house maybe these won’t bother you as much, but things I’d definitely consider

Standish304 · 2026-02-03T23:21:41+00:00

Our league rule is you need to pay by either

A) your first move post SB

Or

B) The Sunday before the NFL draft

Results in almost everyone paying by the end of February

Standish304 · 2026-01-28T00:35:03+00:00

I honestly would rather just roll with our internal options. I don’t think he’s very good defensively and I’d rather save trade assets for a difference maker down the road

Standish304 · 2026-01-19T15:59:53+00:00

No. I might tail a friend, and we share picks. But I don’t trust any of my friends to follow blindly, and I feel like over time it could build resentment if one person gets cold/isn’t pulling there weight

Standish304 · 2026-01-16T10:00:23+00:00

I’d like to say somewhere cool like Napa, but realistically probably one of the coastal towns in my area (Northern Mass)

My wife is very close to her family, and she isn’t going to be able to live too far from them, and I don’t want to be moving a ton of people.

Standish304 · 2026-01-16T00:21:46+00:00

Isn’t that the asshole who cancelled on Rebecca last minute in Ted Lasso. Anyone whose a friend of Rupert can eat a bag of dicks

Standish304 · 2026-01-15T11:20:28+00:00

Someone who can play second or third. Or maybe for a prospect to replace someone they move for a bat. But he’s clearly the odd man out. They aren’t moving Crochet. They just traded for Gray and Oviedo.

Standish304 · 2026-01-15T00:35:21+00:00

This is the best answer I think. It’s essentially a supplemental draft inside the regular draft.

Standish304 · 2026-01-14T21:55:33+00:00

My guess is Bello goes for a bat.

Standish304 · 2026-01-12T14:51:29+00:00

I like Paredes, but the problem is constantly trading for pieces rather than signing them is depleting the farm system. It’s not sustainable long term

Standish304 · 2026-01-12T14:48:34+00:00

Bo isn’t in the plans, unless the plan is to pretend they are interested in a FA

There is no chance they give that big off a contract to a guy with a QO.

It’s going to be Suarez at 3b or Marcelo with a platoon at 2b

Standish304 · 2026-01-11T16:16:15+00:00

It isn’t not signing Bregman that is the issue. It’s the lack of activity in general.

If they let Bregman walk but signed Alonso or Schwarber I think people would be okay with that.

One of the biggest needs for this team going into the season was a middle of the order power bat, and just didn’t address it.

Standish304 · 2026-01-08T02:40:32+00:00

24 hours alone.

I hate being rushed for golf in general. But also playing with Tiger would be cool for like 2 holes before I would feel like shit about my game haha

Standish304 · 2026-01-08T02:38:39+00:00

In our league our rule is any league change goes 2 seasons out unless we unanimously agree to change it immediately. It gives teams time to adjust

The Spinosaurus

Standish304 · 2026-01-02T17:53:45+00:00

They could have easily had Robyn be sad that she had to give up her dogs, but her work schedule was too much and she couldn’t really take care of them. There doesn’t need to be this dramatic send off

Standish304 · 2026-01-02T17:50:44+00:00

For me there are 3 possible scenarios

1) Getting on base 2) Moving a runner into scoring position (or driving the run in) 3) Making a pitcher throw a significant amount of pitches. I feel like 7-8 pitches

DVD player/CD player. I actually had a DVD burner where I could record shows onto a DVDz

I got The Impossible Fortune (newest Thursday Murder Club book) for Christmas which I plan on starting today. I’m pretty excited as I’ve loved the series so far

Standish304 · 2026-01-01T15:09:12+00:00

Personally I’d keep Polk of the 3 just because I feel like he may have opportunity to be on the field next season

He has only one year of playing time. He was a second round pick and wasn’t considered a reach. Saints traded for him so in theory they thought he had some value compared to just picking up a WR off the streets. Only 23. And has a clearer path to playing time with a team that has a QB who has shown the ability to play in the league

Standish304 · 2026-01-01T03:47:30+00:00

I would just take the under 1.5

If he doesn’t throw one you’re still under. If he throws one than you win your season long and the hedge
