You don’t think the sports writers are justified in tempering their expectations for the Red Sox for this coming season? Is the old joint sold out for tomorrow’s game? I would say to start the season there is not much steam in the old pressure cooker. Like I said earlier the pressure cooker is being held by Bloom.
-
I’ll agree that the microscope isn’t what it once was for the players. Bloom being a team player has put most of the microscope on himself.
-
Do you really think all talk radio, and sports media are the same in every city?
-
Say it ain’t so! You

If you think every player who has come to Boston has handled it well then I think you are wrong, because I don’t, and that is my opinion. s***** reporters? How about those bad sports radio talk show callers, and yes wait for it those bad posters on TalkSox, and other venues of the like.
-
Yes! I’m always on a wait, and see when someone comes to Boston to see how they handle playing there. Some embrace it, and some don’t.
-
I’m still on the wait, and see mode on Yoshida, and how he handles playing in BOSTON.
-
Noah Song opens the season on the Phillies IL, so they are still hanging on to him.
-
I know it’s still ST, and it doesn’t count for anything, but it still doesn’t look good, and a little worrisome.
-
Atlanta is a good hitting club, and their A lineup was in there today. There wasn’t to many games this spring that the Red Sox pitching faced the other teams A lineup.
-
Bombs away too!
-
Either way I don’t believe it will have much of an affect on the upcoming season.
-
I agree with that being reasonable. Lots of things would have to go right to be any better. Anything’s possible though, but to me very unlikely. Hope I’m wrong!

I thought that was Walmart greeter Sam Kennedy’s job he done such a great job at media relations.
-
What’s the holdup with this? If it’s because Tapia isn’t on the 40? s***, or get off the pot as they say. This shouldn’t be that tough of a decision. Unless one of the OF get hurt, or really suck I can’t see much platooning going on, so the 4th, or 5th OF won’t play much anyway.
-
I just don’t like the constant jerking around. If the plan was to make Houck a FT starter I could see, but I don’t think the plan once, and if all the starters are healthy is for Houck to stay there. Of course I’ve always been a proponent of keeping Whit in the pen too.
-
I’ll agree with that, and I’m far from being a big Wink fan.
-
True, and true.
-
Probably true since the piggybacking worked so well last year.
-
If Whit, and Bello come back, and assuming Kluber, and Sale is still healthy, which is a big if I would think Paxton would be the odd man out.
-
Houck is just a stopgap in the rotation right now until Whit, and Bello gets back.
-
Duvall has never been a full time CF, and never really played there until 2021, so he only has 75 career games there, so we’ll have to see at now 34 how he handles that.
-
Don’t they have to make a decision on Alfaro today on if to keep him, or not, and Monday on Tapia?
-
The Kut Man did have a good stretch last year, and it may be just a short stint now, but more likely than not he’ll get another one before the season is over.
