Wow - kopech looked so good that first at bat. His delivery looks so crisp and effortless. And Rodon - stellar performance.

It is the hard part of a guy not having real upper level minor league time to work through the adjustments. That said - really small sample size too. If anyone could handle it - it is him...but you are spot on - in time, once the minor league season starts, they may need to send him down and have him work on LF and just get more experience.

LOL

I think he is capable - I don’t think it takes a lot - but whether he actually makes it - I don’t know.

This is fair - That said - I’m not ready to write off Robert, Vaughn and others who could provide protection. I do agree - I think Robert and Moncada are keys to offense - if they hit 280ish...this offense will be real good. I say that cause I know they will hit for power etc. If they both hit .240 - this is going to be an offense that no shows on a lot of nights.

I will say this - I think the angels are a playoff team if their pitching can hold up. That lineup is deep and talented and their bullpen looks to be pretty good too.

Yeah - great to get a respectful outsiders view.

Abreu swung at like six pitches he shouldn’t have - but he still saw a ton of pitches and battled. Yoan the same. That said - both didn’t deliver when it mattered and if Yoan doesn’t want play a lot better this would be 3 of 4 years where he is pretty crappy. Still - it is four games and a long season and I believe in the talent on this team. Losing Eloy hurts - but this team has talent and it will deliver.

The Sox were winning the whole game on Saturday and the only freaking runs the angles had up until their rally were because Robert took a ball off his head. First game was same thing and tonight they were 0-19 with Men on base. Yes they scored some unearned runs...but 0 for 19. Only bright side I saw today is I saw a team go much deeper into counts tonight. Less terrible at bats and more battling. They will pick it up - but they need it. A lot of their good relievers laid eggs this weekend too.

Sox should have swept - instead one and three. Need to bounce back vs Mariners. Can’t think of a much worse start. Blowing leads, errors, and other than one game...literally zero clutch hitting. That said - last year started off crappy too.

Alright - let’s take a piece from angels playbook and steal this one. Right here...right now.

This. I think Tim will be fine but the Sox need Robert and Moncada to be quite good. They certainly can be - but we need to see it. Yoan was not good last year but two years ago stellar...we need that stellar version and they need a Robert who has some semblance of pitch recognition.

Chisoxfn and familia will be there masker up and rooting the team on!

That was an unbelievable K pitch to Trout.

North Carolina job now open - Roy Williams retiring.

Sending thoughts and prayers to the two of you. Hope she starts feeling better soon.

All set - fantastic. Scooter - call MLB - they will give you a refund and than you can use your Tmobile. I did that a handful of years ago and it worked no problem. I can't remember if i called MLB or emailed them - but it was pretty easy from what i remember.

I tend to think Sam is a bust - but the Jets were such a mess. You are right - amazing how far Gase has fallen. Big difference in HC and OC though and the lockeroom issues were not good either.

Sam D'Arnold and the Bears might end up not being that bad of a consolation prize. Don't rush him to start - work with the coaching staff to fix him. Still kind of makes Dalton not that helpful / useful - but at least you have a guy with potential upside (even though his downside is way worse than Andy Dalton). Lets be clear - Dalton has been 100% worse than Trubisky - but there are reasons why you could explain that too (beyond just his crap play). Honestly - get an olineman, wideout and db with the first few picks - get D'Arnold for Foles and a mid round pick - and roll with that.

Other than - you can't do a trade when you are a free agent - the initial report was spot on. Funny.

It is interesting - I wonder if there is a scenario that Fields just tumbles down draft boards?

Just a real minor sore arm. Very similar to flu shot. Arm is already back to 90% plus this morning. No other side effects (from 1st shot).

This is true - if robert is the non-existent bad he was when he was in his funk this next year - than the Sox have some issues. If Robert can be the guy many think he can be - than losing Eloy hurts, but this club has the depth to overcome.

Greg - a few hours later still ticking from my moderna. Such an awesome feeling getting that shot. Don’t think I’ve ever had such a big smile for getting a need injected in me.

Yeah - I will wait and see how they do after a few weeks. I am just glad we saw some aggression - even though I don’t love losing those FRP - cause those assets are key. Would have been nice to have a few of those already being in this rebuild. I am kind of hoping we see Lauri benefit from playing next to a big who can play make and score. Should create a ton of space for him.
