They've already gone through several cold streaks, and are in one right now. They've never left first place. You're delusional if you think the Rays are going to get a WC spot with only solo dingers and no bullpen.

The Yankees are literally the only team that doesn't have alternative uniforms, and they've had the same uniforms for almost 100 years. When teams change their uniforms every decade and have alternative uniforms, they get more money from jersey sales from people trying to buy the latest/coolest jersey for their team. The Yankees sacrificed this extra money by sticking to tradition.

The Yankees not gaining an extra profit on jersey sales in order to keep tradition entirely gives them the right to not wear the required jerseys on their logo. You can fucking live with it.

>>76566433

>>76566578
You're entirely missing the point. The Yankees have had the most recognizable jersey for 80+ years now, and haven't strayed away from it at all. MLB probably doesn't care about some fucking logos if the team in question is trying to uphold a uniform they've been using for almost a century.

It's a fucking logo. Quit being so asshurt about it. Untuck your dick from between your legs and worry about shit that actually matters.

In weird ways. It absolutely ruins a Lefty batter's homerun numbers because RF is deep, but their SLG goes up because they can just bounce doubles off the monster all day.

There's a reason so many of their sports have a big issue with getting Free Agents, and it's because that place is a hellish environment.

Among other things. I've lived there, I don't think I'd ever want to play for Boston in any sport. Maybe for the Patriots because they literally win all the time, so a lot of that stress goes away. But for the Bruins or Red Sox? Jesus christ no thanks.

>constantly make fun of a dedicated Dodgers fan for having his own stats under his own conditions

I' finally understand why you all are so obsessed with DG. It's because you all are DG. You have to make fun of him because you realize that you're not able to articulate your views in the same intelligent manner as him, so you make fun of him instead. I hope this was eye opening to you. You could really learn something from such a dedicated and knowledgeable fan. But until then, just log off. You're making yourselves look like idiots.

The only reason the Yankees farm system is any good is because Cashman made some tremendous trades for prospects the last year or so.

They were ranked pretty low at the beginning of the season 2 years ago in terms of prospects by Baseball America and the MLB.

And the Red Sox farm system was only good because of Theo, and that's been raped by Dombrowski and has not been replenished and will run dry soon enough.

Benintendi was because the Red Sox were so ass in 2015 because of Cherington's brilliance, that they had the #7 overall pick and every team ahead of the Sox passed on him for God knows what reason be he was projected as top 3.

Devers hasn't even gotten past Double A and has some defensive issues he needs to take care of, so there's still plenty of unknowns there

And after them, what the fuck else do they have that Dombrowski didn't fucking trade away?

Dubon? Gone.
Moncada? Gone.
Espinoza? Gone.
Kopech? Gone.
Guerra? Gone.
Margot? Gone.

We're talking about farm here, not the payoff and major league ready play.

The Red Sox farm has been stripped dry, in some cases for good reason such as those you mentioned, and for others with bad trades.

Strictly speaking about the farm, the Red Sox have lost a lot.

>>76567689
The great mystery of baseball is how the stats of players can be compared to others in dissimilar situations. Aristotle called this the logic of absurdities. With the huge disconnect and differences between stadiums shows this is very prevalent in baseball. According to the Shertz-Wilhem principle, every individual player should balance out with the many games played away from their home field. This is suedo science. The suedo intellectuals like Schertz and Wilhelm never took into account the vast numbers taken into the home field park and the sample size of said parks. Without that, we wouldn't have a frame of reference as to what the players and their stats would be. I've deeply looked into the issue of stadium dimensions and discovered three things:
1) the principles of the Goldstein Theorem most definitely work when applied to baseball stats (suedo intellectuals overlook this)
2) when looking deeply into adjustments and rates of the players, you can accurately measure what you have been to be for their stats
And 3) each player is actually the same talent wise, but their opportunities and stadium dimensions make the huge disparity in their numbers.

While I do agree with your basic assertion, it is too basic to be taken seriously without looking at the complexity of the issue. Stadium dimensions are truly a wonder for baseball. Read about Greene's law. It's a heavy read, and it may seem to not relate to baseball, but if you really analyze it you'll see what I'm talking about. He presents the same argument I'm making, but much more eloquently.

Unironically believe every team in the MLB should be required to have a meme field that has dimensions unlike any other field in the MLB. It would make things a lot more interesting and I think make home field advantage much bigger.

Downside would obviously be that stats wouldn't be as reliable, at least not basic ones like home runs, etc.

How wouldn't they? Stats are the production from the players.

If a player can't produce because of wonky dimensions, then said player is at fault, not the statistic. Learn to curb your play towards your environment, not wait for the environment to suit you.

The stats would be the biggest indicator of talentless frauds profiting from their environment versus actual talent that can adjust to their surroundings.

well yeah, they lost betts and benintendi to the MLB too, that's gotta factor in

Sox had the best farm coming out of the 2013 world series win, obviously it has been depleted a bit. Buyers at the deadline usually do

>>76567914
Because whoever played in the most home run friendly stadium would likely have the home run leader every season.

>>76567961
Not exactly, by that logic the doubles leader should come out of Fenway every year but that's not true because truly talented players can thrive anywhere.

>>76567956
But the farm was ranked high even after Betts came through. A lot of the loss, such as the players I named, were a result of Dombrowski draining the system.

And again, the main note is that he hasn't replenished them. It's easy to trade and give away and call up the talent. It's hard to replace it in the farm. And that's why their farm continues to decline.
