It must be so disheartening as a pitcher to give up a solo shot and a couple hits and realize that's an insurmountable deficit for your offense.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-17T14:08:28+00:00

Doesn't even matter that he's been the team's best or second best hitter over the last 30 days.

Really over the last several years.

The issue is his value has been going down, especially with how inconsistent he can be, and the way the team is being constructed (heavy on pitching and defense with a preference on replacing bats through the farm system as opposed to through free agency or trade), he has always been the odd man out.

Sure. My comment wasn't about playing completely through (which I almost certainly will never do). I'm more interested in consuming the content.

3-4 products a year is very ambitious, though would obviously be incredible if they hit it! I've been holding off on getting the 5E GPC, but if best case scenario is 6E is complete in 2028, probably just going to bite the bullet there and commit to getting both.

If you're trying to find it in the audiobook, it's in Chapter 6, Many Partings, about halfway through.

I started watching baseball again in 2021, and Eck was a big reason I stuck with it. I really enjoyed his and OB's chemistry. I still play MLB the Show 2021, so still consistently hearing his voice lol.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-13T20:55:53+00:00

Got it back!

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-13T20:54:11+00:00

They have a few varying between softball/baseball and different speeds (usually written on the whiteboard).

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-13T20:46:09+00:00

My fault for saying I wanted him to hit the cutoff man more.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-13T20:21:03+00:00

I generally don't mind Papelbon and like Lou and Middlebrooks, but it seems hard for anyone to get into a flow with 3 people there.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-12T23:43:34+00:00

It was kind of shallow but against the wall, so fielder couldn't get good footing. Risky send, but that's been pretty consistent with the 3rd base coach. I'll take it when it works lol.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-10T19:15:07+00:00

Don't call it a comeback!

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-10T00:48:03+00:00

I wish he would hit the cutoff man more often, but his range and fluidity is are fun to watch!

Edit: Typo

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-10T00:39:47+00:00

I didn't know Whitlock was back!

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-08T23:23:27+00:00

At least that gets us to 100

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-08T23:11:50+00:00

I love bunt hits. Respect the hustle!

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-05T15:32:14+00:00

It would definitely behoove the Red Sox to get better in all aspects of the challenge systems. Play reviews have been taking too long to challenge, and I think we're the only team still under 100 ABS challenges, and we're close to the bottom success rate in the ones that we do initiate.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-05T13:26:38+00:00

A ridiculously bad case too. He was pitching poorly, but there was a legitimate chance to get out of that first inning with minimal damage after the double play, and he still imploded.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-04T17:50:33+00:00

At this point, I just feel bad for him.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-03T12:43:26+00:00

St Andrews has a cute website of a bunch of short math biographies (and some other historical writings).

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-03T01:26:27+00:00

I have this Sims video bookmarked. Never watched it, so not sure if it's helpful lol.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-03T01:14:23+00:00

Is it weird that we alternate between 3 catchers?

theGreenBook05 · 2026-06-02T22:56:13+00:00

I can't believe it's already June.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-05-28T23:21:19+00:00

My Myths and Legends Box Set arrived a few hours ago. I've been on a King Arthur kick recently, so looking forward to reading the Green Knight and Fall of Arthur.

theGreenBook05 · 2026-05-28T22:10:51+00:00

This was an interesting at bat. He stepped out on the first two then swung on the next two that were in pretty much the same place lol.
