@alexspeier Farrell said Sox will wait until Monday before deciding who replaces Pomeranz on the roster. Likely a reliever if Pomeranz looks OK for 4/9 @TimBritton Farrell on Pomeranz: “It’s become more and more clear he’s not ready to begin the season.”

Be careful what you say about accountants on here. We are legion.

You just are too young to remember when it was essential programming. Now, it's just the top of the garbage pile.

I like this lineup too. However, I think the lineup should be: Sandoval Betts Benintendi Pedroia Hanley JBJ Bogey Holt Vaz

Look who's batting 5th in today's line up: @PeteAbe Pedroia 2B, Benintendi LF, Betts RF, Ramirez DH, Sandoval 3B, Bogaerts SS, Bradley Jr. CF, Vazquez C, Holt 1B, Kendrick RHP

http://www.overthemonster.com/2017/3/30/15117078/2017-red-sox-position-preview-starting-pitchers I thought this was a pretty fair look at the Sox starting rotation. On Pom: He broke out early last year with the Padres and had the addition of his cutter and an improved curveball to back it up. Then, he was traded to Boston and it all went downhill. The lefty was hurt all winter, got off to a slow start this spring and hasn’t looked good since. The talent is still there, but it’s anyone guess if it’ll come out this year. On Price: After last year’s disappointing-but-not-really-bad season, this was supposed to be the bounce-back for last winter’s biggest acquisition. Then, disaster struck when he started feeling forearm pain. He got relatively good news from Dr. James Andrews when he learned he wouldn’t have to undergo Tommy John surgery, but we quickly learned just how much he wasn’t out of the woods. He’s yet to really ramp things back up and is expected to be out until at least May. If he’s healthy, there’s every reason to believe he can be the second best pitcher on this staff, but whether or not he’ll be healthy is arguably the biggest question facing this team right now.

Holt is fine. He had a career low BABIP last year. Just keep him away from 3b because he's terrible there.

ESPN is s***. It hasn't been good in 20 years.

I the only thing I don't doubt is that The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz, #34.

Who are you to doubt John Henry?

This. Selsky probably makes it and plays opening day at 1b. It'll be a good trivia question a few years from now.

Horrid. Uncarbonated, warm Dew is the grossest thing ever. It reminds me of waking up in my college dorm and just nursing a hangover with whatever was left out from the night before.

You know who was really a beast? The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz, #34.

I believe they talked about this appearance on their last podcast. Good stuff! I'd be happy if he turned into Mark Buehrle. He seems to have a little more heat though.

Warm lemonade? Gross.

I didn't care that Shaw was moved for Thornburg. However, adding Dubon made it an overpay for me.

The last time I drank a Pawtucket Patriot, it was literally the warmest beer I'd ever had.

#shouldadumpedlarryinstead

Dubon > Shaw

Funny, I was saying the same thing yesterday.

That's fine. Price will probably have his arm in a sling by that point anyway.

I think he's going to have surgery this season no matter what.

He would have been in the Sale trade. We'd still have Kopech probably, but I don't see him as a SP.
