Agree with the timing. But judging the Kelly signing based on his first week back is pretty dumb.

In fairness it should be damn you JR or Kenny or Hahn . Pick one. This is not a major loss but the Sox have a weakness and Cano could be worth nothing or he could become a nice addition. You cannot use the money excuse.

I find the weather forecasters struggle to get the daily weather right. Having said that, there is an 88% chance of rain Saturday. Hopefully prime seats have a roof over them.

Running the bases is also dangerous. So it looks like relief pitching is the safest place for him.

Cora was not an option. Boston wanted him back after his suspension.

He is a big kid at 240lbs.

Not having Apple TV, I was outside looking in. Actually following via my PC. Where did the broadcast originate from and who were the announcers?

Liam: Get all 3

I would add the grass is somewhat wet as well and he still gunned him down.

Looks like we will get this gain in. Saturday may be wetter

True but that was before any of us was born. Many of us got to see( more often heard) JB dominate Boston

Hating a team and hating their game experience are two different things. I have hated the Red Sox for 60 years. But I have been to about 20 different stadiums over the years. Obviously some have closed and been replaced. The outside and inside atmosphere of Boston is one of the best. I don't like cookie cutter, artificial grass or domes. I love large enthusiastic crowds like Red Sox /Yankee games. Many great seats and very close to the action . Great street scene outside w excellent local food. Very safe area if you are walking or travelling to public transit. As I previously posted, it is expensive to take a family. FWIW= Huge media following all year long. I have also been several times to the exact opposite, Tampa Bay. Terrible stadium in all aspects. Terrible crowds, Very inexpensive but no atmosphere inside or out. But I will say that for many years the Sox have struggled against Boston which is always seems to have a competitive team. Relished the years when Johnny Buzhardt was a Red Sox killer.

If you have never been, great place for atmosphere before and after. Really pricey all-around but hopefully you scored free tics if you live in New England

I think we get 2. Eovaldi is tough but Red Sox bullpen is poor. Warning could be rain issues tonight although it may hold off till later in evening.

As I posted yesterday, it is worth a shot for 30 days to see what he can do since hopefully the warmer weather will be coming. My only concern is that he doesn't take away DH at bats from Vaughn. Limited financials involved and a good clubhouse guy. Absolutely worth a shot

Cease could be the ace of the staff by August.

I would give Robinson Cano a shot at DH. His contract salary is already paid for this year so he would cost minimal . LH and good clubhouse guy. Maybe he comes alive when warmer weather arrives but he is a cheap gamble if he does not take away DH bats for Vaughn.

Yes with 78 degree afternoons all week. Oh wait , what is the forecast?

Damn Gio. He used the lively balls in that 1st inning.

It is too cold for TLR to function. Pray for snow squalls. This is really more like the Charlotte lineup with a ML starter. Cease deserves a bonus if he wins w this contingent.

No that would be the Cincinnati Reds.

Agree. I think it comes down to what impact does the manager (including coaches) have on a team's success, what impact does the FO have (i.e roster) and what impact do the players have. I would say the players are at least 75% of the success/failure unless a FO has assembled a non-competitive team.

Sox Management signed Leury to a 3 year contract less than 6 months ago. I think that could be a sign their management does think Leury has a place on this team.

Did you say the same thing last year at this point?

Leury is due
