This can't be accurate. His missed at least 2 with surgeries.

Most if the comments were against his 3 year contract and the overall money in the bullpen of which he was the biggest contract. Velasquez was a minimal singing at 4 million I think

If it's only 100 innings it will be. That's only 18-20 starts.

Sox shouldn't have signed him as they shouldn't have spent so much money on the bullpen./sarcasm

It's hilarious. She can't pronounce it.

It worked.

I thought that was his 3rd hitter.

Better splits for the switch hitter.

Didn't Bummer have to come in for the first hitter?

No it's the apple team. The female is the play by play person for the Orioles. The male is Chris Young, ex Sox farm hand.

If he only pitches that many the Sox would be short a starter for the playoffs

Welcome to the game threads!

If they let him do it every game then it adds up too much. This early it was the correct call.

A ball that Robert should have caught and a lucky bounce of the first base bag.

Pulling Cease was the correct call.

Nope.

Katz said before the game 90-95 pitches if no stressful innings.

Nope. Too early in the year to push the pitch count too high with the shortened spring training.

Are you sure they've even had discussions for a new contract? I realize you hate anyone with money but you are making far too many biased assumptions.

Robert about to enter a slump. Swinging at breaking pitches out of the zone.

Cornelus! A former patient and went to my high school. Is Colas that big? Cliff was 6'3" and went 225 in high school and could play CF.

I hit one into the cornfield but it was April so there was no corn. Seemed less dramatic hitting into a mud field. And I had to go get it.

That's too bad. I understand why they are doing it but to watch an MLB game in the atmosphere and environment was truly a great experience. Not to mention my wife and I went there on our honeymoon and met people and actually took turns hitting on the diamond even before the MLB park was there. Now I can sound really old for another reason, "I remember when this was just a ball diamond in the middle of nowhere."

Correct. If it drops to a certain level I would agree. I've maintained for years the problem with the FO was the limited budget from JR. I can't say that right now.

I don't necessarily disagree but to me that's not being cheap as was the original point. These are different concepts of how to spend the money. But the amount of money is the amount of money.
