Moose Milligan

I was pretty vocal about the signing this offseason and I'm happy to have been completely wrong. He's been a great addition.

Isn't it awesome when the Sox are in 4th place and you aren't aware of their latest darlings?

I haven't been over there in awhile, but it used to be a collection of wicked pissah dunderheads who didn't really know much about baseball but were experts in whining about it.

He's just annoying looking. Fitting that a guy with a punchable face would cover a team that's historically been filled with players that have punchable faces.

Boston media would think that. I bet that Shaughnessy guy is leading the charge.

No.

It's so weird how that works. I haven't thought of Jack Cust in forever. There's no reason to think of him over a guy like Harold Baines or Mike Bordick.

Orioles grid today. 9/9 139 rarity score

I didn't know Angelos owned the Nats, too.

Their site hurts my eyes to look at it. I agree about the accuracy of the projections, too, and I also can't stand the writing.

I'm not defending @dystopiawhen I say I hate the Fangraphs site. I just want to make it clear.

Pulling for the Mariners tonight as much as it pains me to say it. Rays lose their best pitcher and their chomo shortstop, I thought they'd still be good but they just don't lose.

I don't think the Red Sox are a turd team.

The ROY race is a WAR race. As long as Gunnar has him, he'll be fine. Gunnar gets bonus points for being arguably the best player on the best team in the AL and playing a premium defensive position. That said, I agree. I'd love to see Casas hit a wall.

Flaherty's ERA with the Orioles is 6.66? What else do you need to know? This series makes me a bit nervous, the Sox can thump. And I think Bello is one of the more underrated starters in the game. I think we can tune up Sale pretty good as he's no longer the force that he used to be, but he can also have a strong start out of nowhere. 2/3 is always the goal. It's also worth mentioning that the Mariners are in town for four against the Rays starting tonite. And they've cooled off a little bit, they're 5-5 in their last 10.

13% now. When I picked earlier, it was at 10% IIRC

Nice to see that we've got some guys that can make opponents swing and miss.

9/9 177 rarity score.

Bowden wrote an article in The Athletic today about 12 prospects he think will jump into the top 50 next year. https://theathletic.com/4836677/2023/09/06/mlb-top-prospects-2023-2024-bowden/

Fangraphs projections can pick one and suck it. IIRC they’ve been wrong about us all year.

I don’t like talking music on here because that means I have to pay attention to @Can_of_corn

SWEEEEEEEEP

I have been watching this annoying fake family on this Sarasota commercial for 3 years now and I'm fed up.

Swervin Cole Irvin coming in.

Yeah, we'll see who comes out for the 9th. Off day tomorrow plus a solid start from Gibson should help this bullpen a lot headed into Boston.
