They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Obviously it’s a very SSS, but Kiké is -2 DRS and -1 OAA at SS already

They're knocking him for this one. Meh. There's also two hard hit ones close to the second base bag that he had no chance given his positioning that they might be knocking him for.

Today is the other pitcher I think has a lot more potential than we realize, but a make or break season for Crawford as a starter for sure

Get to see a rare beast in Cruz. Never thought I would ever see a SS his size.

What's the over/under on Casas walks this series? Pirates pitching has command issues.
Back comment, Gunnar Henderson also has off the charts discipline.
It shouldn't go unnoticed that Crawford had 7 quality starts last year.

The 6 core relievers have an ERA of 2.30
The rotation is the weak spot of the team, but that's been known for months.
Cora has a challenge managing this rotation without exhausting the bullpen

For all three games, I want to see the Sox run up the Pirates starters pitch counts.

What’s the record for furthest we have gotten into a season without a single rainout? We’ve had none across MLB over 4 days and that seems almost impossible this time of year.

Seems like we're done with Pivetta making him the number 5 behind Crawford and Houck. He's in a contract year no?

Apparently the Sox are going to have to score 9 runs to win games this season. What a joke.
