Striking out twice a game is not acceptable. Hard to spin it any other way.

Tribe 11 Hose 0. More hustle and team spirit.

I don't find the blame game constructive. Let's move on. If the Sox want to be edgy they should promote more prospects. If they are out of contention again by mid-May I think many of us will look for better hobbies.

That was a close one and the broadcast was cut short. I hope Banuelos is healthy and will get it together. Sox hitting some home runs.

Yes it gets old. Baseball experts with emotional outbursts. I hope Banuelos gets it together.

A bunch of us agree give Rondon some PT please.

It has been maybe five years since anything good has happened on the field for this team. Nothing I can remember.

Since he was acquired from the Pods. Manny is playing today I saw.

Rondon ain't messin' around. 24 dingers last year. Happy 25th birthday. (tomorrow)

Abreu good wood but not exactly an athlete. Need to watch the lbs at his age and stay light on your toes.

Some of us may consider Yolmay and Escobar more valuable as supersubs. They may suffer from over-exposure. Granted they have over-performed. I would rather watch Rondon play for a while.

Funny I was late-nite surfing the tube and watching Indians-Dodgers replay on the network. Don't even know their names but the two Tribe announcers were 100x better than anyone we have.

These are just people venting. FYI the Sox succession plan will proceed from an estate sale due to tax considerations. I doubt that any future owners have been discussed or identified. My personal preference would be Mark Cuban and I would welcome his near-term involvement as an investor.

You might have something there since the Sox really need to make a move of some kind to stanch the stench. Eloy Robert Palka Yoan TA Sanchez-Rondon Alonso Abreu Castillo might be worth watching come May. As for your comments about youth, both Vlad and Tatis are just age 20. Robert is 21 and 7 months. This lineup actually has four native Cubans including Alonso who played college ball at U Miami. Rondon turns 25 tomorrow.

The investors are limited partners with no vote. It was set up that way for a reason. MLBTR analysis calling BS on Sox mgt claims about the bidding and their limitations.

We really need to add two Eloys to our lineup while the others progress.

I was expecting all along that Harper would get 10/330 so the market was a little soft. I wonder if the Sox had a serious thought about making that offer. Boras feels that half the teams are not playing fair so you know he will be agitating for new rules. Maybe lop off a year of service time and get players to the MLB market sooner. The problem of keeping guys in the minors when they are ready is a tough issue.

It's ok to criticize but the money offered was pretty substantial. It just didn't get the job done. Not enough insight was owned or used.

Harper AAV lower than Manual and no opt out? Didn't see that coming. I think the trash-talking is getting a little old.

Were people actually expecting Harper might sign with the Sox? Sounded pretty remote after the MM signing.

Avisail Garcia debuts with two K's and a walk.

I am not quite as stern because we are not a destination franchise and our team did not budget to spend $300M on Machado. Right or wrong those are the facts. I can almost promise you that Ken and Rick did not try to get the owner to spend that amount. They did not want to be responsible.

I think players are pressured not to sign extensions in lieu of FA.

Sort of like Coop blaming the fans who are here for the fans who are not here. Maybe not a preferred destination for the elite FA's. We should have had an owner who knows real estate to help develop the community.

23 HR last year not so bad. Might be the vitamins.
