This is a beautifully made for talk radio story. Completely superfluous yet can consume hours of nonsensical argument. Love it

"You can't be losing and playing Fortnite"
"I haven’t seen it this year," Eovaldi, told WEEI. "Usually everybody had it set up in their lockers. But I haven’t seen it."
Hmmm, those don't really go together. Maybe they need to bring it back.

The article felt like it was missing a piece.
I'm assuming that the Red Sox were playing like crap and Cora wanted it gone, but I'd totally be assuming that because I see nothing backing that up.
So why would they stop playing if it didn't cause an issue last season? Did they stop when they were 6-13? Did management put a stop to it?
Do we see Fortnite return if they have a Morgan Magic stretch?

So where does the quote, "You can't be losing and playing Fortnite" come in? That quote makes me think that they started losing first and then stopped Fortnite, and no I'm not saying Eovaldi is a liar at all. Because why would they stop playing it if that hadn't been losing? They were winning and they were playing it, so why change it up unless something causes it to be changed? Something like losing and/or horrible fundamental baseball as both were occurring early on.

Do we see Fortnite return if they have a Morgan Magic stretch? Unless you think Eovaldi is lying, then they banned it before the season started. I honestly think it's weird as well. Eovaldi one second says, But then goes on to say: On one hand, he's saying, "no problem. Everyone had it last year, this year no one was playing". Then he goes on to say, "Well, maybe if we were winning they wouldn't have banned it". According to Bradford, he's saying: So clearly, according to Bradford, the team is now seeing this as a negative distraction and feel they're not getting the best effort out of their players because of it. Perhaps the Red Sox just saw this as a ticking time bomb of a story if they continued to lose? The Red Sox started getting heat for it last year, but winning 108 games and then the World Series makes people quickly forget everything. The first article at least shows someone, within another organization, was so fed up with how distracting it was that he took measures into his own hands: My opinion is that it's just story squashing because they're losing, but it's interesting that other teams have also started taking measures against it.

Yeah, who cares? Unless it's causing injuries (carpal tunnel), or whatever. Then it doesn't matter.

He never said anything about it being banned because they were losing. He said he hadn't seen it in the clubhouse all season long.

According to multiple tweets with various quotes, the subject of Fortnight has not been mentioned in the clubhouse recently. Cora even said what they do on their own time is their business.

When I first saw the article, I decided to take a look but at $40 startup I decided not to do it. I did see, however, a free version. I tried downloading it but, maybe due to my location the download was too slow (less than 1% per hour) so I gave up. I did see enough videos, etc to get the picture.

That game has a super hard learning curve.

An online combat game with mythical creatures. I don't think the description is quite right. It's a royale FPS where you drop into the map and try to collect resources and guns to shoot each other and build walls. I've never played the campaign though. Personally, I prefer Apex.
