If jax and Crawford had the same strike zone the score would be much more different

RISP issues biting us again. Deja Vu from some stretches last season.

If HP umpire has given Kutter Crawford the strike calls that he gave to Jax he might’ve thrown 2 immaculate innings lol

Sox look like they are playing with weights in their shoes through 10 games. Just feels like there is a lack of energy — I am not impugning effort, but it still comes off like spring training.
They need a laugher… just bombs away, get everyone loose, playing, waving, cart-riding etc.

It feels like that with Martinez and Kiké, but Kiké also started slow last year so who knows? Theyâre pitching Kiké away and heâs been pretty pull happy, so he needs to make adjustments otherwise heâs going to keep popping up to 1Bâ¦

AC kind of treating this game like a AAA game, leaving Crawford in so long, only down 2 at the time. Huge head scratcher for me. It felt like he complete punted on the game leaving Crawford in as long as he did. In the end the Sox never scored 4 so it was an L regardless, but they had plenty of chances.

JDM has looked dangerous at the plate for about six weeks out of the last three years. Not optimistic for his production this season. He’s the least of their worries.

On the field, in the weight room, etc, these guys are pros. I haven’t obviously observed other teams as carefully, so maybe it is the short spring. There seem to be a lot of underperforming rosters. Personally, I feel like April is early to get stoked… a lot of gloomy, cold days to play ball. But that is every year, so hard to imagine it is an excuse. But as I wrote, the dam could burst in a game.

Most guys on expiring deals have their best seasons which is why I expect a big year this year with so many guys heading to FA after this season.

I get the 11am start back when the marathon started at noon and baseball games ended within 3 hours, it was a cool experience to watch a game then head over to Kenmore to see the runners come through.
But with the marathon starting earlier and earlier (elite men went off at 9:37 today), what's the point of the 11am start? I think it would be better if it were a 2pm start so you could come to Kenmore early, watch the runners, then head into the ballpark afterwards.

Okay I see and understand all of your valid points but may I counter by saying boo to all of it? Give me morning baseball.
