If Burger or Sheets had any trade value they probably would have been traded long ago. But every team has guys like them.

It is the only rational response.

It crossed my might that it seemed like they knew what was coming.

Rambling tangential nonsense? Seems on brand.

Meaningless game, but not pretty.

Woof

Cease still getting hit hard

Cease back out for the 2nd

He was all over the place that inning.

I’m more annoyed by the hot field mic picking up fan conversations ?

Yikes

Indeed. And no Rex Hudler on the call.

Maybe it just needs some getting used to. I probably won't mind so much once the regular season starts and I have multiple games to consume at any time.

This might sound contradictory, but I like the pace of play with the pitch clock, but feel like games so far this spring are over way too fast.

Gut feeling they send him to Charlotte no matter what?

Unless he cools off in the next 3 weeks, it will be hard to justify sending him back to Charlotte to start.

I like how aggressive they have been on the bases so far.

I'm not being negative just for the sake of being negative. Being critical doesn't automatically equate to negativity. I don't have a lot of faith left to put in the FO, and rationally I just don't see all of the IFs bouncing the Sox way. There are simply too many questions unanswered for me to be confident that they will be significantly better aside from excising the massive cancer that was TLR. If that is negative simply for negativity's sake, then I can't help you. I may not share your optimism, but I'd like to think there is some level of objectivity in my views. Again, I hope I am wrong, and everything breaks right, and instead of rehashing everything that went wrong we are celebrating come October. I just can't squint that hard at this point.

"It was clear to veterans like Lance Lynn, who played for La Russa in St. Louis, that La Russa was not himself most of the year. He had little energy. He needed daily naps. His voice was so soft that it was often hard to hear him. " More evidence that he should have never come back. And what an awful awful job he did.

Hey, I hope I'm wrong. If they win 90+ and take the division I will happily admit how wrong I was. It just feels to me that way more has to go right. Again. There are a lot of IFs being counted on, and they haven't exactly had the most inspiring offseason.
