It's not that bad.
We start out playing the Rays and Marlins - all the way to April 8.
And we have off-days on April 4, 6, and 9.
Plus we shouldn't be without Pomeranz for long from the sounds of it.
I think I'm one of the only Sox fans here who will concede that the Yanks should be the favorite on paper.
I think we need more X factors to go our way than you do.
It does happen, though.
I feel bad for the guy. How frustrating would it be for a pitcher to suddenly not be able to throw the ball over the plate?
Hopefully life after baseball is treating him well.
We can rattle on all we want about Hanley's option (and we will), but I'm quite sure the Sox FO and Cora have already discussed this at some length and have a sensible plan in place.
