I'm not in the Sox front office, but I'd have to think his name came up in conversations. But I'm not trying to act like he had a ton of trade value or anything.

This is more likely scenario.  I don't think the value was that high. Other significant pieces would need to be added.

I don't any team valued Sheets much. 

Sox thought they'd capitalize on a hot start but every team has a Sheets in AAA.

And ours spends most of his time in RF.  

 

Cubs not really biting on Lucas' slider so far.

doesn't really matter, it's his spring training. just work on what he wants to work on and get him up here if he's healthy.

He's trying to overthrow his fastball. 

Welp

That was a whoopsie

Not great that when he's putting everything into his fastball it's 95 with zero command at all

Nico is a stud

Every walk scores

maybe the Sox should consider drawing some walks then

3-1 right down the middle and boom. Cubs lead.

Would be nice if our lineup showed this amount of patience

I put my face down George Michael from Arrested Development style and looked up to see it deep into the seats.

it's easier to hit ahead in the count, someone tell our special boys that little secret.

That was 93 right down the plate.  Personally, I thought skinny Lucas had better stuff.

Good job Sheets. You stayed on the field. 

That's great coaching. Probably watched some film from yesterday

On my staph Gio is not quite an Ace.

I thought adding a ton of muscle was supposed to help add velocity. I know it was supposedly there in ST, maybe the injury has prevented him from getting fully stretched out.

yikes dude
