  1. I wish they had. I’m just left guessing. Archery? Interior design? Snowboarding? Card tricks? I’m sure it’s something…
  2. Unless their owner goes all John Henry and they don’t extend Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson and instead trade both away for some futuristic version of Jeter Downs…
  3. Better at what? I’m sure Uwasawa is better at lots of things. Better cook, for example. Could be. Better chess player maybe. Better at cosplay, perhaps? The only activity I’m certain of is that Yamamoto is better at pitching…
  4. 1. Absolutely. It’s a delicious feast laden with nostalgia. 2. Am I the only moron who thought the team moniker was “Ham Fighter” and their logo was or should have been a hitter standing at the plate wielding a large ham by the bone at the base as if it was a bat?
  5. I’m at 82 right now. But if this team can get 140+ starts and 700+ innings from the opening day rotation, I’m prepared to go as high as 87+ wins and a postseason berth…
  6. Yes I marveled at that uncut gem and decided it summed him up nicely…
  7. Uwasawa got roughed up by the Braves for 7ER in 2 IP. If you ignore that one outing and just look at the rest of his spring, his ERA drops from a pathetic 13.03 to a less pathetic but still pathetic 8.22. I know it’s a small sample size, but so far he’s just flat out hittable. Maybe he can channel his Inner Hideki Okajima? The only likable thing about him is he pitched for the Nippon Ham Fighters. Good for two reasons. First, NPB does seem like the more competitive Japanese League. And second, if you do have a favorite Japanese team, it damn well better be the Nippon Ham Fighters. Everyone else is much less ham-tastic…
  8. Still taking the over
  9. If you’re being blocked by a guy who had to settle for a minor league deal from Pittsburgh, you’ll need more than just an open lane…
  10. I don’t get why they ignored the cheaper options sitting out there like Lorenzen, Lauer, etc…
  11. And shuffleboard!!
  12. Tyler O’Neill has homered in each of the last 4 opening days, only 1 of 4 MLBers ever to have such a streak. No one has ever homered in 5 straight. So that’s one more reason to watch…
  13. The Yankees acquired Joe Berti from Miami to fill in for him. Must be nice when injuries trigger the front office to react on occasion. Per BTV, the Yankees underpaid for him…
  14. Tampa had him on a minor league deal, but not sure if he had an upward mobility clause and can refuse assignment to Worcester. Soft tosser. Presumably a depth option…
  15. I will go along with the first part - bring in sitting training should help. Of course the outcome could also be that he gets hurt and misses a lot of time…
  16. Someone made a show about baseball in Alaska and didn’t include Randy Kutcher?!!!
  17. What movie was Lowrie portrayed in? My first thought was Moneyball, but that all took place while Lowrie was still at Stanford…
  18. But Jed Lowrie was legally a zombie…
  19. Let’s put it this way - missing spring training didn’t help. Especially since he was facing a bunch of pitchers s couple months ahead of him…
  20. No one is indicting Anthony’s ability. The indictment is the Sox front office making MLB roster decisions today that factor in a 20yo player with 10 games above A ball. That’s actually a ridiculous way to run a team that will burn you more often than not…
  21. And that would be great. But the point is - what if he isn’t? What if 2027 comes and goes and Teel is another Blake Swihart, Mayer is Garin Cecchini and/or Anthony is Lars Anderson 2.0? Then what?
  22. Not sure if Reyes can be sent down without clearing waivers. Valdez can…
  23. You do…
  24. Tightness or not, he signed on March 23 and missed almost all of Spring Training. I’m sure he had some facility he worked out at, but it’s not the same. Very few players seem to miss spring training and jump right in ready to go…
  25. True as well. Anthony might be a terrific player - some time in 2027. What will the team do between now and when he is? And if he does take 4 years to become a star, will the Sox trade him away because he’s only two years away from costing money?
