    No. Why did I act like there was?
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    I guess having 6 parts is fine.

    But why is he upset that part 3 was started?
    I'm far from upset.

    Why assume I'm upset just for saying start Part 1 of 2023?

    You guys read too much into many posts.

    " Realistically " the Sox have dug quite a hole for themselves. The first goal now should be to get back to .500. But can they do that ? The offense certainly will improve. They cannot possibly be as bad as they have looked. But when they do take a lead late into the game , they have to close it out. They cannot keep blowing those kind of games.

    Well. you are a Yankee fan, so I was saying it like expected you to write about 2023, as a way of saying our 2022 was over, like expect you hope it is.

    It wasn't meant to be any sort of demand that you not start the next part.

    It doesn't matter if the realistic thread has one part or ten parts. What is funny is that many of the posts are not the least bit " realistic." Maybe it should just be re-named as " The regular season " thread. It would at least be more accurate.

    I used to have thread by the same name on the other site as a way to try and keep the wild posts on other threads.

    It did NOT work there, either.

    At what point do the six hitters that are under performing start to hit and gravitate toward their career norms?

    When did player "value" become "what I could get for him in trade?" To me, the "value" of a player is how well they perform and how much fans like watching them play, not the hypothetical haul of prospects one could get by getting rid of them.
    "Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.

    That is the sixty - four dollar question. I don't know the answer , but it better be soon.
