    I agree. The only reason we were talking about it all over again was because someone called the suspension "bogus." Honestly, MLB had more info about the situation than any of us do. If they suspended him for 15 games, it was probably for good reason.

    Sox were filling visitor stadiums long before they won a WS. What took the Cubbie fans so long? I'd say that the top 3 fanbases are probably NYY, BOS and STL. CHC needs to stick around longer for them to be with the big boys.

    I'm just listing the takeaways rather than the whole article. It's a good read so I suggest you do so. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/2018/03/mastrodonato_10_red_sox_takeaways_as_they_close_spring_training 1. Cora has the confidence to be himself 2. Players are buying into the aggressiveness 3. Hanley Ramirez is taking this seriously, and Cora is taking him seriously 4. J.D. Martinez really wants to play the outfield 5. Christian Vazquez will be more involved 6. Pitchers are loving their new routines 7. Craig Kimbrel doesn’t need much practice, but the rest of the bullpen is a question mark 8. Brian Johnson could play a big role 9. It won’t be an easy road for Steven Wright and Tyler Thornburg 10. The owners are serious

    @ScottLauber Chris Sale will make his fourth career Opening Day start but first for the #RedSox, who have had five different Opening Day starters in the past five years (Sale '18, Porcello '17, Price '16, Buchholz '15, Lester '14).

    MLB would be better served to over punish guys than face a backlash like what happened with Ray Rice. "Hey, why did you suspend Player A for 30 days? That's too harsh!" "Well, we don't condone DV no matter what. We believe baseball is America's past time and don't want it to be an ethical dilemna when trying to purchase a ticket or turn the game on."

    Even if he didn't lay a hand on her, it can still be domestic violence. What if he just grabbed his wife's phone, called her some awful names and smashed the phone to pieces? What if the kids were there to witness it? That's pretty f***ing bad. You can assault someone without actually hitting them (physical threats, intimidation, holding an object that could be a weapon). Saying "well I didn't hit her" isn't an excuse.

    So far, the only story that has appeared in the media is Steven's. I'm not sure any actual evidence has been presented in the Boston Globe (paper owned by the Sox) or anywhere else. Do I think Chapman got off light? Yup. I think Wright did as well. MLB needs to make a statement by not allowing this type of behavior.

    @SoxNotes The Red Sox begin their 118th AL season tomorrow. They are 58-58-1 all-time in season openers, having won each of their last three. Boston last won four straight Opening Day games from 1997-2000.
  9. mvp 78
    Because I'd punish DV more harshly.
  10. mvp 78
    But it’ll be overcast and dark for sure.
  11. mvp 78
    15 games is light imo.
  12. mvp 78
    @PeteAbe After Alex Cora got done with a fairly speedy postgame media session, he slapped his hands on the table and said, “OK, let’s go.”
  13. mvp 78
    Sale vs Archer
  14. mvp 78
    @alexspeier Alex Cora: ‘We’re ready.’ I'm totally buying the manager's shirsey...
  15. mvp 78
    Just wait until he signs his $20M AAV deal!
  16. mvp 78
    Sox are the evil empire.
  17. mvp 78
    I don't think they'll have to move JBJ, because I don't think he's going to demand a high market value in FA.
  18. mvp 78
    @MaureenaMullen RedSox v Cubs: Betts RF, Martinez DH, Nunez 2B, Benintendi LF, Moreland 1B, Vazquez C, Bradley CF, De Jesus 3B, Holt SS, Velázquez RHP These Spring Training lineups are something else.
  19. mvp 78
    @MarlyRiveraESPN Rafael Devers told me he won't be running today but will be doing cage work; said he feels fine and, as he mentioned yesterday, has "no doubt" he'll be ready for Opening Day. Devers hurt his right knee last night in a collision at home plate with Cubs...
  20. mvp 78
    You play fantasy baseball but not with TalkSox?!?!? WTH...
  21. mvp 78
    No he doesn't.
  22. mvp 78
    That's literally his job.
  23. mvp 78
    Bogus as in we don't know what actually happened and MLB officials probably do. All domestic violence should be punished. Wright needs to own it and be better. His "I never hit her tho" crap shows to me that he doesn't get it.
  24. mvp 78
    Because he's probably going to be out longer than 25 games?
  25. mvp 78
    lol
