  1. No. Not tday.
  2. Severino looks like garbage today -- a bunch of walks and a grand slam and 5 runs in 1 2/3 innings.
  3. Welcome to TalkSox.
  4. [h=2]Aroldis Chapman Receives 30-Game Suspension[/h]
  5. I don't think anyone understands the reason behind this change, a the FO has never articulated any reason. The rumor is that they were afraid of losing O'Brien. Castiglione on the radio is up there in years. He must be nearing an end of his career. OB could have stepped in as the primary radio guy. That is a pretty good gig.
  6. 7:17pm: The signing has been announced by the Red Sox. Murphy will have an opt-out at the end of the spring, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald tweets. 10:35am: Murphy’s minor league deal contains a $2MM base salary, should he make the big league roster, according to the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier (Twitter link).
  7. You didn't lose much after that.
  8. I forgot that they have Boesch too. DD likes to have a safety net.
  9. The competition will be tough. Thunder in his first season went wire to wire in the regular season. UN is always tough. SFOC is rejoining the league and he usually has one of the top teams and has won the league multiple time. iortiz is always very tough for me to beat even in the years when I win the Championship. My crown is in peril.
  10. The draft time on April 2nd will be 7 pm.
  11. It will take a while for them to get comfortable with each other and develop a chemistry.
  12. MVP, Invitation sent.
  13. I will be meeting my brothers in Boca on Friday and traveling to Ft. Myers on Saturday for a week. It is our wives favorite week of the year. They stay home with the dogs. LOL!!
  14. MVP, if you would like to join let me know today. I have another interested party who I am about to send an invitation. The league will be closed at 12 teams.
  15. Joe Cronin #4 named MVP of today's game by Remy and O'Brien.
  16. Sam Travis in his first AB took a pitchers pitch down and away up the RF gap hard for a double. In his last AB he hit a laser (apologies to Pedey) to LF for a double. The kid has a fast bat and great pitch tracking. I realize that it is only 2 ABs ad they are facing a college, but his scouting reports look accurate. If he is as good as some think he is, it is very bad news for Shaw.
  17. I suspect that those "two-a-day" workouts were circuits around a buffet table.
  18. That is surprising. He's not too old and he has always been a solid player. In 2007 he was in Red Sox MLB Spring Training camp and would play at the end of games. He came to bat in the 7th or 8th and I asked my son if he would take a bet -- I would give 10 to 1 odds that the kid would hit a first pitch Home Run. My son thought it was a lock and bet me a big dollar. Murphy blasted the first pitch for a homerun. The Sox turned over the lineup, and Murphy came up again and we made the same bet but for $10. My recollection is that he swung at the first pitch, but no home run. I'll have to ask my son if I remember that correctly.
  19. Announcers point out that we had the #3 offense in runs produced and the #14 pitching staff. One last time and then I am putting it to bed, "It was the pitching, stupid!" That is why we finished in last place.
  20. Remy and O'Brien are talking about Buchholz being our #2. DD needed another pitcher.
  21. Betts crushed a HR to LF that looked like it was hit by Jim Ed Rice.
  22. Farrell is insisting on Betts in RF. IMO, the wrong decision -- not a terrible decision, but Bradley's arm belongs in RF.
  23. No red flags for Hanley at 1B today.
  24. I think iortiz signed up twice, so we may need one more team. I think we can get one more. Twelve teams will be very competitive.
  25. Allen Craig can't even hit College pitching.
