I would very much like for the White Sox lead to Cease.

I don’t see Pivetta in the rotation for the full season. His WHIP is approaching 2 for the season. Definitely possible, but we are still only talking about a dozen innings

I'm not trying to pile on anyone here (though somebody may be bringing it on himself), but the idea that any draft pick is a can't miss is silly. The best example of that was Danny Goodwin. He was drafted first overall twice and didn't do anything in The Show. The White Sox thought enough of him to take him first overall out of HS in 1971 but he went to college and was a three-time All-American and Sporting News player of the year in 1975. The Angels took him first in that year's draft. Career numbers over parts of seven seasons: 636 ABs, -1.7 WAR, .236/.301/.373/.674, OPS-plus of 84. I realize I'm late to this discussion and someone's muscles are aching from trying to move the goalposts. But I thought I'd point out that two-time Can't Miss draft pick Danny Goodwin...missed. Because baseball is the same as it was in what 1980s? Because prospects are valued the same right?? Ah no...

Yeah we’ll see how it goes but that Ottavino trade coupled with selling low on Benintendi were probably my two least favorite moves Bloom made. ... seriously?

So who pitches first, Mata or Song?

What a good day for Chaim Bloom reinforcements. Edit: I forgot Arroyo was acquired last year, but Perez technically counts since he signed a 1-year deal in February. Both were still Bloom acquisitions.

I missed the first 5 min of the broadcast -- why are JDM and Renfroe out of the lineup? Google says cold, sore(ness). JD to Covid IL, waiting for test results, Chavis up. Clean-shaven Richards, so far not looking too different than his mustachioed counterpart.

Not sure why a Pitcher and his agent would go to the negotiating table with "I won [X] games, that guy has only won [Y] games" as their big weapon in the year 2021.

Late to the crowd. Is this game being televised? I can't find it in the local market! Search MLB on youtube or go to redsox.com

Rays might lose 100 games. I'm starting to think you might be the most reactionary person on this planet

They don't really do it for me, but they're not horrible. Always thought an MLB City series would be a cool idea but there's nothing about this that screams BOSTON to me. It's far enough off from the marathon look that I needed to be told it was a takeoff on the marathon, I don't think I'd have picked up on that on my own. My least favorite are the camo Memorial Day ones they wore a couple years ago, though it was the hats that made those particularly bad. A random one-off alternate I liked was this random faux-back they wore in San Diego in September 2016: Beautiful. This is what I’m talking about. Our throwbacks through the century-plus existence of the franchise would be more than sufficient to retire the red and blue softball alternates—let alone these blue and yellow travesties. The thing that you and James seem to be forgetting is that these faux-backs are hideous and look like Astros unis. The blue and yellow are kinda fire tho. I'm not really sure why people are worked up about a shirt and cap they'll wear twice. Even the purists must know they wear green once a year, even if it is during the spring and often not televised. Funny that the top bars on the poll currently are color-coded yellow and blue.

If only rightfield were a defense-first position! He is 0-5 with 3 Ks to go with his acceptable defense. I mean, it's not not a defense-first position, especially at Fenway. But yeah Renfroe/Cordero looks like it's going to become a true platoon real soon. Is it not already?
