The Sox don’t assign 69 ever because they don’t want fans to get authentic jerseys with that. I’m for players wearing what they want, but it you’re going to wear a “look at me, everyone” number like 74, 84, 88 or 99, you better be able to back it up. Lastings Milledge starting out with 85 or whatever, comes to mind.

Rosenthal has said he was fed that question by the producer. He was too busy getting from the photographer’s well area to the field to watch Altuve himself.

He did say, “not this week, but the following week”. I watched it, so probably Friday, 2/28.

Decision by the 28th

MLB Network not showing Manfred live. Lame. MLB Tonight at 5 will edit out the awkwardness.

Brad Keller got suspended 5 games if that’s what you’re referring to. Sounds like penalties will be longer for everyone if they think the pitcher is throwing at the batter.

Good news for you. Coop changed back to 21 this season. Vaughn will wear 99 when he makes it up.

Manfred is talking at 3:30 central.

He's looking right in the camera and lying. If they really want to give a sincere apology, send the trophy to Cooperstown where they can keep it in storage for a few decades, take down any signage regarding the 2017 Championship, donate the amount all of the playoff share money from 2017 to charity, and no future team sponsored celebrations of the 2017 season. If they want to keep their rings they won unfairly, they can do it, but nobody really thinks they earned it.

Soon-to-be top 5 prospect in the Sox system...

Listening to Kris Bryant go off on the Astros. Pretty impressive dude.

I’m not a fan of the rule. You should have your roster for the day and deploy it any way you want. It’s not going to shorten games if the pitcher they want to replace stays in and walks two guys and gives up a homer. The 28 man roster in September is better because it caps it for everyone in the pen. Personally, I think they should turn in a daily 20 man roster, 7 pitchers, a 9 man lineup, a 4 man bench. If the game goes to extra innings, then the rest are eligible to play.

Giving Moncada a 10th place vote is fine. Keeping the guy who eventually finished 4th off your 10-man ballot, didn’t make Fegan look good. It was a shitty ballot.

It won’t happen, but it would be cool if they played this season thinking they’re good, and they win 92 games or whatever, and then on September 28, Manfred says no postseason for you.
