Almost all of these guys weren’t even big prospects. Rather they’re brilliant at developing mid-level arms into above average major leaguers.

It’s almost like Francona is a brilliant manager and knows how to stack a lineup based on splits

90% are reading their press clippings

That’s a play that has to be made. Timmy has been terrible to start the season.

Was time four years ago. Sale and Quintana masked just how terrible he’s been the last 15 years.

Cease isn’t facing the Sox minor league team today.

And please take the garbage pitching coach with you

My god the Sox are stupid. Grandal’s pitch selection is garbage.

Abreu’s swing is so bad right now. But hey, keep batting him 3rd vs righties

Yep seems every day 2-3 pitchers are hitting the shelf. As I said yesterday, this just isn’t enjoyable at all.

Don’t forget lefties murdered Cease last year

You’re just mad Mercedes isn’t the father. Might be the only time he would have scored this year.

Kopech is the father according to her reps (on twitter)

Yesterday was such a fun day as well

Madrigal did nothing in ST or Summer Camp to force the Sox to promote him.

Cooper

Hope he’s ok mentally

Exactly, what are they waiting for? It’s beyond obvious the plan was flawed and the players for the most part have made a joke of social distancing during games.

And now Renteria is showing symptoms for the Sox. This whole thing is ridiculous. How is anyone enjoying this?

Just imagine purposely getting Delmonico potentially one more at bat than Luis Robert.

How so?

From my experience dealing with these parents, a lot of them did a solid job of social distancing up until the last month. From then, I’ve heard every excuse in the book for why they’re letting their kids play at a crowded park, have sleepovers, etc. Too many parents that god forbid didn’t want to lose their “summer”.

How else are 9 and 10 year olds going to get that elusive baseball scholarship to Virginia without playing 3 games a day in 100 degree heat during a pandemic?

I enjoy the Little League coaches that wear them when being a base coach, but at the same time let their kid and 11 others all sit as close as possible in the dugout with no masks on. I’m not lying when I say I was at a tournament yesterday and of the 500 people in attendance, 3 had masks on.

Because there’s so much research on the long term health ramifications of the virus.
