Man, I hate Adam LaRoche. Go. Away. Any criticism the Sox get for a few days is fine. Basketball will swallow this story up.

Rosenthal:

Good riddance, Adam LaRoche. I'm not giving him Father of the Year award just because he loves his son. Kenny is right, but also they established a bad precedence last year.

I'd be interested to know what the environment was like when Dave LaRoche was pitching and Adam and Andy were around. Was it all-access or the occasional weekend to be a bat boy?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) right or wrong, the Sox are gonna look bad Maybe by some, but probably not by baseball fans.

I'm sure they'll (Hahn or somebody) will have to talk about this in some detail in the next couple days. It's probably a vocal minority that complained, but that may be enough. The team has enough distractions, and if they don't want some kid there stretching with the team and there all of the time, then that's their clubhouse to establish a tone.

If this is all true, hopefully the Sox have learned a valuable lesson going forward.

Game is on MLB Network. Looks like mostly a minor league day before the scheduled off day. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/710127032697421824 Santana RF Lucroy C Braun LF Hill 3B Carter 1B Middlebrooks DH Villar SS Flores CF Rivera 2B

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) Eaton baby due in late April. May not have his services in Baltimore. Jay Bruce has a baby due April 23rd. It would be interesting if the Sox got him. Giving the paternity list an early workout.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) I do wonder what the mood on here will be like if LaRoche changes his mind It wouldn't be pretty, but it's not going to happen.

Walk off homer for Davidson!! Oppo shot.

Petricka blown save. 6-6. Coats homered earlier.

Jennings gives up a 2-run homer. 5-5

Davidson bomb. 5-3 lead in the 7th. Good spring.

Tomorrow's game is on MLB Network at 3. Brewers announcers. Thursday is the off day.

Eaton baby due in late April. May not have his services in Baltimore.

3-2 after 4. Not really paying attention, but sounded like Lawrie had some good hustle.

Not that it matters, but now that Olt is gone, I bet Austin Jackson changes to 24. He was a Griffey fan.

3-0, Dodgers. Q gave up a couple homers through 4.

OF: Eaton, Jackson, Garcia, Cabrera, Shuck IF: Frazier, Saladino, Rollins, Lawrie, Abreu C: Navarro, Avila Playing for the last spot: C Sanchez, L Garcia, Sands, Ishikawa, Lombardozzi, Parrino. Lombardozzi is intriguing. Switch hitter, plays all over, and would know his place on the team.

Levine going on with B&B soon. I think the media is talking to Ventura and Hahn now.

Is there any package of players that doesn't involve Anderson or Fulmer or anyone on the current projected 25 that could get Carlos Gonzalez? I'm thinking no.

Make that 49 left in camp. 40-man soon to be 38.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) All systems go for Jay Bruce now. LaRoche had a rough year but this does leave a hole. I know some people wouldn't like that, but I would like that for the right price.
