Management needs to figure out a way to get these players motivated before that clubhouse starts to become a poison

Just frustrating to watch. All of this talk about "ride with us or die" and "shit or get off the pot," yet I see errors, pitchers getting behind constantly, throws getting away, no pressure on the basepaths, hitters not working counts,...yeesh

Might be time to end the Jones experiment. His body failed him his entire career, and I think there has just been too much damage for him to be what he once was.

This has been a well umpired game behind the plate FWIW

Storms are coming. Sox better tie this thing up soon. Game is official.

Nice quick 1st inning for Rodon

LETS GOOOOO What is first pitch ETA?

More rain is developing behind that giant system. Dont think its going away

That suuuuuuuckssss

90% chance thunderstorms Thursday from 1:00-7:00, of course during the window of the game 100% chance storms all day Friday 90% chance rain most of the day Saturday now. Up to a quarter of an inch they say. Source: Weather.com Of course this would happen.

Possibly? I didnt know that was a thing, but I keep hearing their intention is to keep him in extended ST in AZ to get more innings in until they need that 5th starter. I know he had bad injury last year, but I trust him more than Covey to get the job done.

I also think that once Santana is ready, one of either Covey or Frare gets sent down.

Thats what i would think

For Jay being injured?

Would they maybe push it to like 1:00 central? Not sure how logistics would work with that...but i see forecasts saying the bad stuff is starting around 3:00 central, right around first pitch.

Because I am usually working when these spring training games start. Don't worry, i will when the season starts and we get night games in.

Why are you even starting game threads if you are just gonna b**** about this whole thing? No one wants to read anything about how they screwed up Machado upon opening a game thread. Just stop.

We aren't going to see Sox games that count until Saturday...They are saying 100% chance of Thunderstorms on Thursday, starting in the afternoon of course, going all the way through Friday night, then they get the cold front. Of course this would happen. Why not? Would they play a double header Saturday? Or schedule that later in the year?

Ruiz>Machado/Tatis

IMO he should be the opening day centerfielder. He's been here the longest and he has earned it this spring, but it will probably be Jay.

This is updated up to yesterday it looks like

Hope to see him in AAA in September. Needs to destroy the opposition and stay healthy for that to happen though.

If only to play against KC, in KC, then I'm all for it. He can be a Ranger otherwise, though.

If I had to guess, this would be the roster I would bet on for Opening Day...which is ONE WEEK AWAY!!!

That lineup though...
