  1. Ron Roenicke to rest Red Sox regulars early in season WWW.MLB.COM BOSTON -- Manager Ron Roenicke is the first to admit the urgency of each game during this unprecedented 60-game season, but he is not going to let that urgency allow him to push his players too hard in this opening stretch, in which Boston plays 10 straight days. The other Maybe someone should tell Ron that there is no late season, no dog days etc this year. It’s basically a tournament.
  2. You could get whiplash imitating Martin Perez. LOL
  3. We have a 15 man pen or something like that. Time to get Perez out of there. Nice signing, Bloom. Good too of the rotation guy.
  4. Way to make Cobb throw strikes, Mitch.
  5. Is Dylan Covey in the rotation?
  6. He’ll be on the IL before the middle of August and we’ll be stuck at 2 starters.
  7. I was at a Mets game last year when they PH a guy who was a MILB call up and the opposing manager over shifted on him. He was not a big prospect in the Mets system. I remember that he was known as a very light hitter. I can’t even remember his name, because he hasn’t been heard from since. Managers copycat everything. Lots of managers are batting their big sluggers in the #2 hole. I am not going to dispute the stats with Kimmi, but it is obvious that managers all follow the current trends. They would all be using Openers too, but it would piss off their starting pitchers. Cowardly sheep.
  8. Managers are just copycats. One guy starts doing shifts and now every manager overshifts on guys based on high school spray charts. It’s so overdone. Overshifting on .240 hitters with no pop is ridiculous.
  9. That’s an even matchup. The Orioles are very lucky that this will not be a full season or they would have a good shot at the 1962 Mets record of 120 losses.
  10. Has a game 3 starter been named?
  11. Mea Culpa on the game thread. MVP is on top of things.
  12. Need a game thread for Game 2. MVP put down Rules for Radicals and make a game thread. Don’t you have that stupid book memorized yet? For your birthday, maybe I will buy you “Radicalism for Dummies”. LOL! It’s a joke so I hope the other wokes and a700haters don’t get their panties in a bunch. MVP admits to his radical progressiveness. If I am mistaken, mea culpa. But make the game thread, please. We have our big # 2 going today, Martin Perez.... jeesh. Have they named a starter for tomorrow?
  13. I thought that he was fully recovered.
  14. When our 3rd, 4th and 5th rotation spots take their turns, there will be some football scores.
  15. This is what is supposed to happen when Tommy Milone starts.
  16. I lost my over/under bet for Milone’s innings pitched.
  17. Blue Jays to play in Buffalo
  18. Cody Allen has been released by the Rangers. Is he worth a flier? I think that he got beat out of a job by Daniel Bard. LOL!!!
  19. Do you like the arms in the pen? The front line pen guys are awful. Even assuming Workman is lights out (big assumption), Brasier is a disaster and Barnes has been deteriorating badly for 2 years. We really need the second line guys to step up in a big way.
  20. The other night, Eck asked Wake if he could still pitch because the Red Sox have no starters. Wake said that he can still pitch, but can't cover 1st base.
  21. The Puig situation is a novel one. The Braves signed him and it was contingent upon him testing negative for COVID?
  22. And with ERod on the shelf, the Red Sox are carrying 2 starting pitchers.
  23. The Cliff was Cora's ill-conceived Spring Training preparation for the pitching staff.
