MLB Daily Thread: 6.16.15 - 7 in a row for Boston! Hacksaw Jonny Gomes returns to Fenway & more beisbol

[chappee11]

The biggest fuck up they made, in my opinion, was waltzing into the season with a pitching staff lead by Rick Porcello.

Yup. And then doubling down on that loser by giving him $100M.

 

[chappee11]

Dillon Gee, designated for assignment.

Steven Matz callup now imminent.

Nationals still suck.

Hu....has anyone referred to your young Phenom as Noah "Cinderblock"? Because, if not, I want full credit for that one.

Yup. And then doubling down on that loser by giving him $100M.

Yet people thought I was crazy when I said it was stupid to give him all that money without proving himself in Boston.

[chappee11]

Yup. remember when I said that should competitive despite the shitty pitching because I expected them to score 850-900 runs?

Somebody shoot me.

It wasn't only you. I think we all felt that way. Who knew the entire offense would suck at the same time?

They did that with Beckett years ago, an ill advised extension when the Sox had all the leverage

LOL. The only consolation is that the Yankees aren't good, either.

I was pissed when they traded Cespedes for Porcello in the first place. I wanted nothing to do with Porcello.

Then again, I thought Panda would crush the ball in Fenway, so there's that.

Don't worry about the Yankees, they are busy trying to chase a division title

You did

I was a Porcello fan as a solid mid rotation arm

But the extension just never made a lick of sense

Especially considering how many pitchers are available this winter

Nope. Just checked with the patent office and they said it's all clear

The pride to wear the uniform brings out the best in players

It's the opposite effect when your plane lands at Logan

When you haven't made the playoffs in 3 years, division titles are definitely cause for some excitement. Maybe they can hang a banner in NYC if they get it?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Tough loss for Hu's Jays last night

they should overshoot the runway.

just moved into 2nd place

At least Beckett had a history of being a successful MLB pitcher. We can't say the same for Porcello.

Do they hang a banner upside down in Fenway for 3 last place finishes in 4 seasons with one of the games highest payrolls? How does that work?
