Thanks. The ultimate TalkSox error, being a winner and no follow up. I sincerely hope Jad is OK.

 

Unfortunately the same cannot be wished for dog ass Pivetta giving an ex-Yankee the gift of 4 rbi's

[d-money]

The sox starting staff is putrid. That’s an understatement.

Jad posted this afternoon, on the other thread.

I fixed that for you.

 

It's going to be much better.

DEVERS DEliVERS! Still have no idea with this line-up why they pitch to Devers. I'm glad they do.

[jad]

Scheduled day off.

[jung]

Did Yoshida play in yesterday's game or is he still out?

[vegasbob]

You hate to rely on only about 3 guys in the lineup but Devers, Dugo and ??? need to carry this team. Probably veteran hitter Turner

[vegasbob]

Did Yoshida play in yesterday's game or is he still out?

 

He did not play yesterday and may be held back until there is a RH reliever for LAA today.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No and yes.

Still out. Cora said today he will play tomorrow.

Bulletin Flash: Arroyo popped out, the King of Pops strikes fear into all infielders on a sunny day

Thx

Neto works an 8 pitch ground out in his first MLB AB, never swinging at a ball out of the zone.

Merloni confusing Porcello with Pivetta. Geez that is something I would do.

Sox starters love handing out walks thus far early in this season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Will JH allow Bloom to go after Ohtani during the next offseason?

Never fear. The Angels work really hard at losing baseball games.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sadly, Sale isn't a FA until 2026.

It's a good question, but I have to say no. That auction promises to be truly insane. Cohen will be in there I'm sure.

[Bellhorn04]

Actually he'll be gone after 2024 unless his vesting option kicks in, which looks highly unlikely.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Merloni doing a nice job in the booth. Keep him there.

Good to know. Thanks.

He is actually not bad. Better than Youk I think. Now if he can just figure out who is still on this team, we might have something.

Drury: "Pivetta is not going to throw me another breaking ball. He's not going to do that. Ahh s***...he threw me another breaking ball"

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Ohtani was just a hitter, he would probably get a contract averaging about 30-35mil/yr. If he was just a pitcher, he would probably receive about the same.

I'm guessing he will be looking for 500 mil for 10 years.

He'll be 29 in July.
