Coop fixed him. Buttwad.

Terrible catcher. Like a statue.

Tim and Jose are my team captains. Tim goes beyond baseball these days.

Why throw strikes to dumb hitters. No need.

All bad pitches to Robert. Very poor approach by Lou.

Mazara needed to be worked with as a project. Shorten his swing and don't pull the ball. Or just ignore him.

Bart Johnson on Chuck Tanner. Bart signed KW. Chuck did it because he was so positive. He wouldn’t tolerate negativity. The other thing was that he took the best guys north every year; he didn’t care how old they were. Remember Chuck could intimidate guys, too. He was, I think, 42 or so and he was a big guy. If you did something wrong or got him angry he’d take you into the clubhouse and just kick your ass. And it wasn’t just the players. I remember one time one of the writers wrote something about us, quoting guys anonymously, and Chuck wanted to know who was quoted. Chuck called us together in the locker room and asked us about it. No one admitted that they said anything, so he got the writer into his office. We’re sitting there and we hear things getting thrown around: bang, boom, crash. The writer came out crying like a little boy. Chuck was trying to find out if one of the players said something, or if the writer was making things up. I think he slapped the crap out of him.

In terms of pi Ricky is mince meat. Ricky is a youth coach with a case full of participation trophies under his belt. I would not follow him to the promised land.

Keuchel along with Betts maybe the two best signings. Keep it going.

I think arrow down is quite apt. What this team needs is the Chevy spirit squad dancing on the dugout.

Today we observe 100 years of Negro League baseball.

Where veteran hitters go to die. It's a Hall of Shame but we will see. Covid will be a great excuse for 2020 failures. Mazara looks lost and who knows with Edwin.

That would be the KC A's just before slithering off to Oakland fame and fortune. At one point Charlie Finley wanted to swap franchises with the Sox since he was based in Chicago. Hawk played for those A's before signing with Boston for the pennant race.

Four losses in Chicago in one day. Only in Covid 2020 could that happen.

Why throw strikes to these guys. Everyone knows it.

Losing is contagious like a coronavirus and it must be eradicated.

If you can't see his instincts for the game then I can't help you.

Those 17 days off are really hurting the Sox.

Wainwright is soon 39 getting paid two mil. Draw your own conclusions.

Ian Hamilton logged four innings after sitting out last year from a car crash and line drive to the head. See ya later buddy.

They are saving twelve innings from the DHs but these pitchers have not been active from what we were told.

Cardinals pitching will be overtaxed with eight games in five days even with seven inning games. You also need guys warming up in the pen a lot and they have not played in twenty days. Sounds dangerous to me. I would be concerned. Imagine if one of their starters can only pitch a couple of innings which could well happen. The time off could be a real issue. Don Cooper would have a stroke if that was his staff.

Cardinals have DHs Monday and Wednesday against the Cub. They can't be serious about this.

Extra man up tomorrow likely a pitcher.

I don't think the Cards will hold up well with two-plus DHs per week. Look for a number of pitchers to get injured, almost certainly.
