JR wanting to win "his way" validates what many of us have felt for a long time, which is that winning isn't and hasn't been important and is a secondary perk if it actually does happen.

Looks like both ACL & DSL started June 6th last year, guessing the 5th or so this year.

I'd much rather know they blow earlier than the will they/won't they crap they did last year.

I knew someone that worked in the ticket office and quit midway through '21 because they just kept bombarding them with work and stopped offering any help to the reps that were still on board. Needless to say, he didnt give a glowing impression of the operation once he left. Even this year I had a rep call me about a ticket plan, only to quit a week later and pass it off to someone else. My interpretation is that retention is tough and it seems to be a thinner operation than what you'd expect on the ticketing side.

The Sox affiliates have seemingly been moving guys there a lot, maybe it's to circumvent the roster rules per team?

I'll always be a fan and love going to games in person, but I've grown quite disconnected from the viewing angle since the early going of last year. The TLR stuff, injuries, and general vibes from the team/org really sucked the life out of me in that regard and there are other ways I'd rather spend my time. I still follow and watch the minors extremely closely since I'm a nerd in that regard so that's how I get my baseball fix. While the quality of play is obviously lesser, watching guys progress and develop has become a point of enjoyment. Having two young kids helps keep me occupied most nights but has definitely shifted my priorities and perspective surrounding fandom. I guess I finally came to the conclusion that this organization, as currently constructed, is riddled with incompetence, which is seemingly ok with the man in charge, and I'd just rather not spend a lot of time worrying and complaining about stuff beyond my control (outside of a periodic venting session). I love the team and always will, but my unhappiness with ownership/leadership is starting to outpace the love.

Jimmy Lambert erasure, but otherwise...woof.

He got in a handful of games at second between 21 and 22, but the idea seems like it was abandoned rather quickly.

I'd like to see him get at least a half seasons worth of games in Birmingham this year, if not more.

In case anyone was wondering

Gladney and Kath ?s

Tim Elko had himself a day as well for Kanny, 5-6 with 5 RBI

I'd be a fan of this
