I actually thought the movement in game 1 was much better, they generated a ton of open 3s but just cannot hit them. Also man tristan thompson was the worst signing. Just absolutely miserable as soon as he sets foot on the court. I was just happy it was competitive and they had a shot to win. Really difficult time now for two years where suddenly the all star break hits and its this completely lethargic, terrible team that is a 180 from a fun team prior. And it's completely different players this year, not sure why these epic collapses have occurred like this.

honestly nobody would care about this if they didn't disappear the goose or had they appropriately replaced it with a piping plover

Probably because it's april. Family sundays in the summer are very popular, and it's very fun to bring my kids to games which is why I'd like to go more.

I think @Dick Allen mentioned he retired this offseason. I didn't see anything to confirm, but I'm glad he made his way back. He's just had brutal luck with injuries and hopefully that has affected his production. His debut was so dynamic, hope he finds some day light.

immediately my first thought as well

I was just going to say this. Especially with kids it has made it a lot more difficult, and the other side of that is I liked going as a kid and eating hot dogs and ice cream and not eating a warm ham sandwich and warm water.

to address DAs post, I was pretty surprised. Obviously, feels like baseball orgs/vendors feel far more comfortable passing all costs onto fans to protect the same margins. I'm sure they saw uncertainty that all other restaurants faced in sourcing and labor,a nd were just like "just to be safe, let's increase prices 25%". I get the going to games on a budget concept, but to me the reason to go to the game is to sit and have a polish and a beer. Otherwise I enjoy the game just fine at home. Will I buy a ticket package again if I have to be a monk at the games because now I can only really enjoy 2-3? Zero chance.

mock draft using dane brugler grades (hence the terrible grades on Jurgens)

yeah nice catch. Robert is gonna be a 30/30 guy this year, but boy would 40/40 be cool.

2 hits for Kath

Absolutely huge. And very well played, intense games. Incredible pitching. Keep it going , uh, Vince Velazquez

Greg Gabriel said league believes bears go big bodies early not skill

Good thread. Burger/Mendick gone

Jake at 204 wRC+

@Quin

is it home and home? How bizarre. Also glad Birmingham to stop playing Chattanooga. Having two different CHA in the box scores was messing with me (also kannapolis was playing against a jose rodriguez)

I have had no luck selling them, obviously it's easter. Happy to transfer to a soxtalker and i have a parking pass too. Tix are in section 101

please internalize more.

and add to that when I just had cable I didn't have to deal every six months with threats that the regional sports networks would fall off. 2 or so years ago it really did feel like this was all a consumer benefit, and now...it reallllly does not. (blah blah all the extra content etc)

He had a lat strain before the real st even started. Will be out a few months.

hope so, but just a really good slot. Lockett was so good in college though, that offense was putrid, it was all just bill snyder defense and lockett and they still couldn't stop him.

Charlotte, W-S, Kanny look competitive so far. Birmingham has the best manager. Sox minors could see like a 100 win improvement lol.

This is so annoying. Liam will always have a special place in my heart for using his time with the commish to ask for the end of blackouts so we can just get mlbtv and not be shuffled around forty streaming services.

I’m just saying we’ve seen guys recently show that they are way too good for a level immediately and it looks like Luis Robert 2019 or Eloy 2017 not colas taking a few walks in high A

Feel like way too many assessments here being filed after only a week of games.
