If/when the Bears move, I actually really like Soldier Field as a potential SoxPark. Keep some of the key, historic architectural elements, consider the lake and the views of the skyline and it's an incredibly imageable ballpark, could be genuinely one of the best in the MLB. Those features are more important to a baseball park than a football stadium IMO. Have a sort of McCovey Covey but also excellent views of the best skyline in America. The 78 and the current 35th/Shields site are pretty much just plots of land. Whereas the 'Museum Campus' lakefront has so much going for it for both locals and out of towners. Check out some of the best museums in the world then go to a ballgame 81 times a year. Transportation remains an issue. It's not easy to get to.

I don't think you can say that. Crochet and Burke were both "surprises". He's probably the favorite but there should be plenty of competition in Spring Training. Although it strikes me as odd to bump this thread at this specific time lol, his last outing was pretty bad and it was 4 days ago. My pick for opening day starter is Mason Adams...cuz why not. Maybe. I'll look cool if it's correct.

I was thinking about adding them to my list. I don't really know anything about Saucke but McLain is kind of a stud although not super impressive at Kannapolis.

can't win em all. this seems like a 'good team' kind of loss if that makes sense.

double d'oh

d'oh!

Fairbanks is not good. I'm expecting a walk off.

let's go sox!!

I haven't been paying super close attention to this game, but this guy has wanted to call a strike several times and has just deferred to the first/third base ump. No confidence in himself.

Lenny's had a nice week

why are they pulling Wilson?

also, am I the only one imagining George every time Jason Alexander comes in to pitch? Ellard and Eisert might have a future here. I might call up Schweitzer and option one of those guys or simply DFA Alexander.

Mathias LaCombe is going to change that.

also what did you find?

hell yeah buddy

Canadians making fun of the Sox

I think the Sox have been shafted more than any other team. Venable needs to be more vocal, glad he finally did something. https://umpscorecards.com/data/teams It's true according to this."framing" is probably a factor.

Wow. it was stupid to begin with. Good for Venable finally.

why are they interviewing these hockey dudes

do this again. "meidroth double" or something

He was good at A+ and the season is over, so why not. I wouldn't mind if Bonemer got some ABs at Birmingham. I guess they called up Sprinkle.

How does he have 8 Ks already???? Shouldn't the Sox be familiar with him? is this a career high? It ties a season high. Benny has made some nice plays tonight

I'm lazily learning Greek, I thought 'γυρ' was pronounced like 'yeer'

Also, Clev got ROCKED in AAA today. He's not joining the team. I still think the only reason he's there is the minority owner who may or may not have shares anymore,but probably did when he was signed

yeah I wouldn't really want to rely on Yoe Yoe as a starter next season. He's been serviceable but is a AAAA kinda guy.
