They’re just spending to dumb Bill’s guys. They traded Godchaux for a 7th, which was ridiculous. Tavai will be gone soon, as will Austin. They are spending money specifically to get Vrabel his own guys instead of actually drafting needs. Kraft has to sell.
It’s been my view for months now that this is a bottom feeder organization run by a senile owner who took over in a coup against his own head coach. This isn’t new.
Paying a DT 26 million while the offense looks like this. Just incredible.
Overspending on defense to continue to take apart the Belichick built team while Maye still has no one to throw to. It’ll be considered a good offseason for the dollar amounts and nothing will change.
Hello I’m back for a bit (don’t worry, haven’t been using the other app just back on socials for free agency)
The Patriots suck!
$15 mil is the exact value I predicted. I'm so good
Verlander to the Giants is really interesting. On his side is the park factor and the fact that they appear to be going on in. Against his side is the fact that he's old as hell lol
I’m at least deleting all socials from my phone. Except YouTube. I need to watch more videos on the Roman Empire. You know what? I’m gonna go do that and pretend the world isn’t collapsing
Company created AI profiles is so dystopian. I already deleted my Facebook and luckily bsky seems to still be alive in terms of real people. But yeesh.
Happy new year
I really dislike going to the movies because I have some sensory issues, but I went with my friends to see Gladiator II because the theater experience really made it cool, and I don’t regret it at all. Was happy to pay $15 to hang out and watch a cool movie on the big screen
Broke: swingman
Woke: non binary pitcher
Even in Jersey (with all our numerous bowl games) it’s like a spring day!
Not enough people realize the HOF is independent of MLB.
It's not enough for the sports community on Bluesky to grow. Everyone who doesn't like sports should be kicked off it as well.
Framing metrics have become insanely overrated. We complain about umps but give catchers 100% of the credit. And they’ll be gone in a few years. ABs will kill them. We’re talking about 2005-2025ish. How is it fair to anyone else who’s ever been on the ballot to use framing?
Using JAWS and just not caring about the remainder of the career is also a major issue. But framing is never a good enough reason to make someone a Hall of Famer. I think Russell Martin would be the worst HOFer of my lifetime if he makes it.
If you have to include a stat that’s tracked for maybe a tenth of baseball history and is unreliable at best to include a player on a ballot, he’s not a HOFer. There is not a single player he played against that was afraid of Russell Martin. Any votes for him are absurd, sorry.
Out of everyone to comment that on, why Jon Bois? He’s been vocal about his support for marginalized groups plenty.
In complete opposite of AI slop, we have Historia Civilis. He’s kept me sane at work single-handedly. I LOVE their videos. Research, simplicity, fun, strategy. Brings the whole package.
History YouTube is so poisoned by AI made videos full of just blatant lies. My recommended page is completely destroyed by them when I’m just trynna learn about Augustus. It’s infuriating.
When I mostly posted about football, I was adamant that Rodgers to the Jets would be a disappointment. I was maybe the biggest doubter alive.
I couldn’t even foresee the disaster that it’s been. As a Patriots fan I’ve loved every moment.
There’s a joke here
If Terry Francona was an audiobook narrator there would not be a book I don’t listen to
Didn’t even realize that I’ve been on HRT for more than a month now. Time flies.
He’s back on the sideline
Side note: Love the Dodgers offseason. Gave Snell too much length but who cares when you got the bargains of Teoscar and Conforto? They got everything they could've asked for and will rightfully be favorites. Their owners are bringing the best players to their fans. Blame your own owners, not them.
Ok one more post.
If they weren't finalists on Soto or Yamamoto, they won't be on anyone else. That was it. Those were the best FAs that this FO will probably ever see and he saw them while having the best farm and open payroll. Things aren't changing.
That's it for doom posting for the night. Breslow could very well be killing everything Chaim built. This is just devastating as a fan.
Breslow was willing to give up Casas, one of the most talented young players that we've seen in a while, to dump an 18 million a year contract. If you think that they're going to change their ways after 3 years of this, I really don't know what to tell you. This is the Boston Red Sox. Mid market.
