Thanks, BamaDoc! Appreciate you starting these threads.

30 1-run losses last year. They're gonna beat that this year.

Parker Meadows robbing that HR from Maldonado also looming large right now.

Why not stay with the lefty for the first two guys?

Moncada's AB gonna cost them this game.

Leone is not good. He has not been good. It's all part of the roster churn. I doubt he's here in June.

A foot and a half?

Lopez expanding the zone on 3-2. A player like him has to be a little smarter than that.

What a bad at bat by Vaughn. Never got a ball anywhere near the zone, swung at 3 of them.

The Sox are the only team Canha hits against, right? He was pretty awful last year for the Mets.

Fielders choice

Woof. Shuster has given up 4HR. I don't know if he changed something last year, but he looks like he doesn't have a chance out there. Sox have enough guys directly behind him, so this is not horrid.

Shewmake has fantastic hands. I can see why his rep on D is so solid.

Yikes. Everything but the pop up was absolutely scorched.

I was vaguely familiar but I never gave it much thought. They are churning rosters at every level. Probably necessary.

BA listed 30 youngest players to make an mlb roster and 30 oldest. Sox have no one on the youngest. 2 guys on the oldest -- Maldonado and Shaw.

Colas hard hit oppo double. 2-3.

Fixed it for you.

Thorpe's an interesting guy to follow. I generally do not believe in rhp with minus fastballs. The change is supposedly so good, that it compensates. His margin for error is nothing. Could be interesting. It's good to see that Eder is back throwing.

It would be great if Taylor can pitch on a team by mid-May.

Colas hard hit single. 1-1.

Colson struck out in his first AB. Got a couple of tough calls against him.

Look around the league at some opening day starters, like Angels and Mets. Sox rotation is not the worst out there, it seems. I think the Angels may lose A LOT of games. Then they’ll draft Holliday, he’ll become the best player in baseball and they still won’t win.

7 guys over 30 on that roster plus a handful of 29 year-olds. Woo! If all the prospects are going to be at Birmingham, I wonder why they promoted Colson. Maybe they wanted him to focus on power in that launching pad. Gonna be interesting who plays short at AA. Popeye’s best position by far is 2b. Any chance Baldwin makes it to AA?

Any chance mods merge this into the fire Grifol thread because it is two sides of the same arrogant, incompetent coin?
