    Agreed, but the frustrating/scary thing is there’s no limit to how many of your guys can get injured.  Sox have already had some huge pieces get hurt...it doesn’t mean they’re safe from now on.  If our opponents stay healthy for the next few weeks, nearly every pitching matchup is going to see the Sox at a disadvantage.  I would argue the Sox have the worst pitching in the division currently.

    Oh, I agree, it's frustrating as hell.  It's why I said "not pessimistic" and not "optimistic" 😁

  2. I guess it's because of what has happened with injuries for the last few years, I expected 6-8 weeks.  If it's 2-4 starts, that should be OK.  TLR will need to "eat" some games and not burn pen. 

    One thing that makes me not pessimistic right now is, I agree with Stone.  This April/early May is going to be a fiasco for most teams.  There are going to be crazy games with non-MLB pitchers.  Best case for Sox is they get healthy by early May.

    What would a deal even look like? He's got 2 years until his opt-out (which I doubt he takes) and 5 seasons after that, all at $32m/year. Assuming you take on most or all of that money, what would you even give in return? Padres already have a solid system and really would want a major league ready return to plug other holes, I'd imagine. Would that even be worth it?

    My guess is, and I'm NOT saying I'd do this, is they'd ask for Crochet or Kopech as main piece.

    Possibly Lynn goes on IL? I didn’t watch the game yesterday but from I read this morning, he was upset at the ump because of how late the substance check came as he was going down the tunnel to be checked by a trainer for a physical issue.

    The full quote said he was going to the trainer to get ready for the 5th. He wasn't even coming out of the game

    I've lost the connection a few times even though I have no problem with my wifi. I wonder if that has anything to do with the count. 

    I'm watching on my firestick app, so far so good,  but I want to watch UEFA Super Cup at 2, so will have to switch to laptop

    Let's hope this is our Torres for Chapman move.

    Cubs also traded over a few years Eloy, Cease, Soler as well as Torres (Vogelbach, too, but he hasn't panned out).  I liked Nicky, but this is perfectly OK with me.  The pen is ridiculous now and gets even crazier if Bummer straightens it out.  Sox, so far, have only given up one top end prospect.

    This could be the first extended COVID cancelation of games for a team since early this season.

     

    MLB Rumors on Twitter has it as 12 positives, 8 staff, 4 players.  Eleven of twelve vaccinated and no one involved is "Seriously" ill according to Dave Martinez

    I'd love to know too. We have a pre-paid preferred pass.

    Should be easy, it generally is.  It's such a great set-up there for pre-game. 

    Really looking forward to tomorrow.  

  9. It was always a bit like this in the past, but the last few years have ramped up basically only covering and hyping the major teams in all sports.  You would think the Knicks making the playoffs this year was them winning the NBA championship.  They want clicks and views, so they praise the major teams to appease their fanbases.

    I love watching this but realize that  we are playing a demoralized team that is out of contention with a pitching staff that is a shit show.

    to paraphrase Lenny Leonard "Yeah, but we're beating their brains in".  Got Astros at their hottest and ate it, nothing wrong with doing this against a down team

    I really don’t get only having Kopech to one inning with a minimal number of pitches.  Would he have thrown 25 if it was a long inning?

    Just a guess, but maybe the trainers didn't want him sitting then throwing again, maybe first few outings they want him from pen, to mound to done.
