So it was nice last night I guess they need to thaw out hopefully they warm up by June and there are no lingering affects of playing in the cold.  

I get criticized here but to me baseball in cold weather wasn't fun to play, isn't fun to attend, and isn't fun to watch. The owners extended the season to 162 games so they could make more money. Start April 15 and add more Saturday doubleheaders then end the regular season mid September. 

Baseball is a summer sports not an early and late winter sport.

I get that.  

Maybe the owner should take responsibility for running an organization. 

Or maybe build an organization using weather to your advantage.  

 

I just need a break from this team right now.

The front office made bad decisions in the offseason

The manager has made bad decisions during the season

It's cold and the ball is dead

Yet at the end of the day, this lineup minus Vaughn and TA is downright miserable. None of the different decisions by the front office or the manager we would have preferred would have fixed this. These guys have to start hitting, and they need to do it soon.

While it’s still obviously early, Joc + Rodon have been difference makers.

Pollock is a FA or playing for like $5M. 

He has a 10M player option.

Yeah, that game I went to Tuesday if the Sox had Rodon instead of Keuchel starting they'd have lost 1-0 instead of 6-0.

You can't build a cold weather team.

And a $5M buyout. He’d have to be awful to take it.

While it might even be true that they just need to get healthy…what from their first 2 years running the Bulls suggests they’re not going to be aggressive?

They're cap strapped once they re-sign LaVine.

It's really fucking simple. All new buildings have a retractable roof.

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