2/22 vs Tampa Bay Rays

[jung]

Had to make sure MVP was happy.

 

Its another 1:00 start and NESN does claim to be covering the game.

[mvp 78]

Hell yeah.

 

Me: little brain, didn’t record the TB tv feed and I’m at little league

 

[a700hitter]

The MLB Spring Schedule starts today and the 4 man rotation is shaping up nicely.

Thats Snarky 700, sorta' snarky:rolleyes:

JBJ late swinging as usual. He is getting into his usual groove.

[jung]

if I hear one more Sox broadcast guy talking about "pretty swings" I am going to throw up. Can they not just stop and talk about effective swings?

Nope

We really need to trade Chavis before he really gets exposed AGAIN. Just too many holes in his swing.

Just one hole. It’s really f***ing big though. Pretty sure any team acquiring him would already know it.

[iortiz]

Pillar and Verdugo are not Betts but if they stay relatively healthy, specially Verdugo, this team offensively will be ok. Geez, 3 players no named Betts hit 300+ and posted 30 hrs. The big If is whether Eovaldi and Rodriguez can be solid. That’s the key for this team this year.

 

Said that and watching today’s game, the experience at the fort last year was amazing, specially sharing some baseball time with Steve and Ted.

Yay, game threads are back.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

I see Chavis and Bradley are in mid season form 4 for 4 between them, outstanding

They just wanted to get the game threaders off to a good start.

[mvp 78]

Complaining when the games mean nothing!!!!!

[Larry Cook]

Bradley’s timing is really off. He is late on everything.

[a700hitter]

JBJ late swinging as usual. He is getting into his usual groove.

He'll snap out of his slump sometime in late July after 4 thousand pages of threads debating whether his defense justifies keeping him in the lineup.

well we need practice too:cool:

[jung]

This is mid-season form for JBJ, Chavis too.

[a700hitter]

Tommy Joseph? Another retread bum. Bloom thinks this is Tampa.

Well, Joseph was already here. Dombrowski signed him, too...

with our pitching staff? his defense is more important then ever.

[Bellhorn04]

Better get ready for a crazy level of negativity about the team this year, Slash.

[Slasher9]

Better get ready for a crazy level of negativity about the team this year, Slash.

 

yup.

But recent history suggests we have a pretty good chance at a parade this year.

Red Sox season with first year manager in the John Henry era:

2002: Grady - 93 win season

2004: Francona - Parade

2012: Bobby V. ok...not a good example

2013: John Farrell - Parade

2018: Alex Cora - Parade

2020: Roenicke - ?

can anyone confirm if we have skinny beni or #fatbeni this spring?

[jung]

Just by eye....looks like skinny to average beni, not fat beni.

 

Rusney looks disgusting. He has gained tonnage and has learned NOTHING in 6 years of playing minor league ball. I would bet we have Boston Bruins that know more about playing baseball than Rusney does.

kimmi said "skinny" and that he should be good this year.

He's always been thicc though. He's not a skinny guy.
