Things will shift again when Tauchman comes back. Maybe just be Jankowski to AAA though unless he rather be released or they send Maton down.

Guess I'll watch Crochet pitch for a little while.

Wow game over already. Waiting for the game to start took a nap and it was in the 9th inning already lol.

It could be any number of things besides Taylor's arm . Both are plus defenders so it's not a very discernable difference .Then you got Jankowski known to be liked by Venable and people assume it's favoritism without any actual knowledge. It's talk radio Twitter meatball garbage jumping to conclusions. It could be as simple as keeping guys on their toes playing positions they are capable of playing well in case they are needed to replace an injured guy so it won't be the 1dt time in a few months that you played the position. That's why good utility guys like Baldwin, who can play all over are valuable. After Tauchman comes back Taylor I'm sure will be playing late inning defense all over the OF .

Probably not, maybe just the better arm in RF .

Easy there Tiger. 1st really bad outing by the pen and you're all over Getz BP too. It's still pretty much a 100 + loss team and even 2 more decent bats would probably get the Sox close to under 100 losses. Of course will lose Robert so going to need more. You can't work miracles with low budget ballplayers .Lucky we ended up with Smith another Getz acquisition.

Vargas got a little hitch in his swing. Stands very still and pulls the bat back to start his swing.

Your fault .

Walks and HBP you put runners on more often then not it'll cost you.

Murfee's Law

Lol please keep complaining about Maton. That ball was crrr-ushed !!

I should have stipulated nothing Russian related 😋

That was just pretty by Sosa and Smithy .

Sosa needs a nickname

Would be weird to have the highlight of the year happen in a string of 5 games in the 1st week.

Another 0 run inning

Crap needed an extra base hit and got a K and a pop out.

Everyone thinks multi-run inning ! LFG !

Supports what I was saying even more and always thought it was highly likely he got an extension fairly quickly .Took a little longer than I thought. Figured it would be done before the season started.

Customers who don't use it sell them generally around $15 on the open market. Not sure how it works though if they ever check to see if your IP matches your service IP address you can pay and end up losing the service pretty quick but in the past the buyers are happy . Disney just figured out I wasn't the same IP address as my daughter who put me on her Disney + user list. It was fine until they added Hula shows then zap .. gone right when I was getting caught up watching about 10 yrs of Archer I missed 🤣

They weren't really comparable. DeGrom's the only pitcher who got almost the same for roughly the same amount of service time.

You can either take $170M or risk it all while you make $20M combined (maybe) in 2025 and 2026 and if you have a major injury in that time you lose a huge chunk of change .Not sure what his Arb salaries would have been for those 2 yrs. This is when smart players who don't get too greedy get out the scales and say yeah I'll take $170M right now thank you.

Nah he still had 2 yrs to go before FA. The wheels can fall off very quickly. Largest deal ever for a pitcher with only a little over 4 years of service and quite a bit of it was injured.

There it is . Not sure I'd call it reasonable . That's a lot guaranteed money for a guy with his injury history and not one complete MLB season. I'd call it a great deal for him though. I always knew he'd be smart to try to get a deal done as quick as possible.

You can argue anything though with or without facts. I thought overall the SP and BP would both be better. I don't think it was wishful thinking either. Maybe a little since it is spring but I thought Burke, Martin had good potential, Cannon and Perez could be steady and then they got a Wild card who started to look great with Smith. Remains to be seen if they can consistently be what I thought . BP same thing. I liked some of the low-cost arms and I basically trust Bannister being given a long leash seeing guys he likes from the junk pile and spruce them up a little. Again always a crap shoot when working with those kind of arms but they really seemed to focus on giving up less walks and taking more walks offensively. That goes a long way towards scoring more runs if you run into one occasionally which is still their biggest problem.
