    Soto just threw out the tying run at the plate. Yanks up by 1 in the bottom of the 9th w 2 outs.

    Eflin gave up 6 ER in their opener v TOR. Why can't we ever get guys like... errr... never mind.
  3. moonslav59
    Just blame it on your interpreter.

    Good to see you back, Max!
  5. moonslav59
    We will not be in last place by the time we play our first game!

    Allowing hits and BBs.

    I tried to start a new thread with a poll on how many wins the Sox would get, but the site did not allow the Poll part of the post to work. I thought I was pretty clear.

    I tried to start a poll thread on predicting the Sox win total, but I could not get the poll function to work.

    I like our O, a lot. When Grissom returns it might get better, although E Valdez has a lot of promise, offensively. I think McGuire might be better on O than Wong, but it's a close call. Abreu on the bench offers some good depth, as well. I like Devers 2nd and Story 3rd, as the modern philosophy down plays the 3 slot. Vs a RH SP'er, having 4 lefties in the first 5 batters is nice. Had McGuire started, we'd have 6 lefties. If Abreu ever starts over O'Neill or rafaela, we might have 7 lefties in a line-up. Our line-up vs LHPs might be a bit worrisome.

    I wish opening day was a day game, but at least I'm on Central Time, so it won't be as bad as East Coasters. soxprospects.com still projects Abreu as the RF'er. MLB.com projects this opening day line-up: 1. L Duran LF 2. L Devers 3B 3. R Story SS 4. L Casas 1B 5. L Yoshida DH 6. R O'Neill RF 7. L E Valdez 2B 8. R Rafaela CF 9. R Wong C This looks right, to me.

    Opening day is never dark before the game starts.
  12. moonslav59
    I guess I was always too high on Scott. One more wrong position.
  13. moonslav59
    This is the absurd part of their so-called "plan." It's not like Gambrell, Fitts and Van Belle are banging down the MLB door, anytime soon. I mean Chase & Uwa? OMG! Wink needs to stay in the pen, after it was robbed of Whit, Houck and Pivetta.
  14. moonslav59
    So, basically, at least for the first few months, our depth is just... Chase Wink Gambrell
  15. moonslav59
    I can't help feeling excited on opening day.
  16. moonslav59
    I can't disagree, but I think this team will be more fun to watch than last year's team. Losing Turner hurt. He was fun to watch. Which Duran shows up? Can Grissom be more like Pedey than Downs? Can our catcher mature and grow? Can casas be even better (esp on D?) Will Devers have a career year? Will Story shut Red up? Can Rafaela & Abreu earn a (long term) slot? Has Yoshida gotten acclimated? Will O'Neill bust out in his contract year? Can Bello build on a pretty solid season? Is Crawford for real? Can Whitlock finally stay healthy, all year? Can Houck get past the first 18 batters, or will doing great through 18 be just enough? Will Pivetta put together a full season for the first time of his career? Can Jansen & Martin defy age yet one more year? Can Wink repeat last year's performance? What about these new pen arms? Campbell, Slaten, Weissert? (Anderson, Luetge & the Joely we never really got to see, last year?) I think there is a good chance most of these questions are answered in a positive way in 2024, but we may need 75% or more to have good answers for us to sneak into the POs.

    I'll be surprised, if we get 132 GS from our opening day 5 man rotation. Hell, 122 might be asking too much. With Murphy and Walter gone, we may end up yanking Wink from the pen for starts, but maybe it will be Chase, first. Criswell looks to be the 2nd or 3rd man in line. If we go deeper than 8, it's a dice roll on who #9 might be. Uwasawa? Gambrell? Fitts (not on 40?) Wikelman (late season?)
  18. moonslav59
    I can't believe it is opening day. I can't really say hope springs eternal, but I do think we will see a lot of fun plays and games. A big chunk of our core is still pre-prime or in the early years of prime. There is room for improvement for almost everyone. (ALMOST) Pre-Prime 24 Casas 24 Bello 25 Wink 23 Rafaela 24 Abreu 26 Campbell 26 Slaten Early Prime 27 Crawford 27 Whitlock 27 Houck 27 Duran 27 Wong 27 E Valdez Prime 28 O'Neill 29 McGuire 29 Weissert 30 Yoshida Back-end of Prime 31 Story 31 Pivetta 30 Reyes The list of post prime is very small 36 Jansen 37 Martin (seems to be improving with age) 33 Refsnyder

    I know I am going into this season with excitement about a lot of our players- most are young and promising, and some have already shown glimpses of high level skills. I'm not expecting much more than 80-84 wins, and losing sucks, but I'm looking forward to seeing how our future starts to take shape. I'll be watching the minors, more this year, and I hope some prospects take big steps forward. Let the game begin!

    Then, this should be the title of your thread, IMO. (I don't entirely agree with that, either, but another year or two of this, and I will.)
  21. moonslav59
    History repeating itself here on Talksox. Blame the GM for not spending money not provided.
  22. moonslav59
    I doubt they stick with him like they did with Brazier.
  23. moonslav59
    One of your better posts.
  24. moonslav59
    Minor league depth.
  25. moonslav59
    Looks like the Dodgers are about to lock up Will Smith with a 10 year extension for the soon to be 29 year old. There may be deferred money and a guarantee of $140M.
