Right. Touki is probably the long man/spot starter so they need him to get his work in.

I hope its just because they only have a certain allotment of pitchers they want to use in the game and not because he thought it was a good move...

Feels all too familiar.

This. Team. Is. SO. Bad.

Don't know if it's the new stance or what, but he's a different hitter this spring.

Hello Eloy! Also, Schiffen's home run call needs work. A lot of work.

That outcome felt inevitable.

Oh Touki...

Look at that sexy defense... 🤦‍♀️

Offense giveth, pitching & defense giveth back.

Is this what is known as offense?

You forgot "pray that JR is too cheap to can his inept ass so he can hang onto the delusion he's good at his job for just a little longer."

I don't think there is a snowball's chance in hell they are a .500 team, but if by some bizarro world scenario they are you're probably right. This org loves to shoot itself in the foot like no other.

These are all sound points. Let's hope the boobs in charge have the same priorities, and Pedro's incompetence doesn't get in the way.

We can't forget about their propensity for overpaying mediocre FA. No one really knows yet how much leeway Getz will have compared to his predecessors. Yes they will likely spend some money, but how that gets allocated or how well that gets allocated is another story.

Without counting up every single team's spring broadcasts, it seems like other teams are broadcasting more games on tv, radio, and web. Not the end of the world or worth all of the hand wringing IMO, but it does feel like the Sox are doing the absolute bare minimum this spring compared to years past.

Nope

Realistically, no. Too many things have to go right, and things going right in this org feels improbable. If by some miracle they luck into a few breakout performances from the kids, maybe the can creep into the 70+ win range in 2025. Even then ownership's penchant for not investing wisely is a potential roadblock. I can't even venture a guess as to when they might be. Even four years out feels like a stretch.

I’m not. They did nothing and somehow had a better offseason.

Suddenly having PTS flashbacks to when the Cubs introduced that stupid pants-less mascot

I second this. Red Rocks and or Hoover Dam are better uses of time and money.

69 minus 10

Nonsensical word salad.

I hadn't noticed it in the few AB's of his i've seen, but the side by side is obvious. Hopefully his hot start has a lot to do with the change.
