My 12-year old wondered what the problem was with the top U.S. pitchers. His logic is that Team USA plays in either Arizona or Florida, where all...

70 pitches? Check! 5 innings? Check!!! Sounds like a good ST start to me!

The 2011 Red Sox.

That's a bingo.

Yes, if ever a team could be said to be "all in"...

No, I'm just a harmless old philosopher.

Any start where Chris Sale is not struck by lightning or hit by a Mack truck - or abducted by aliens is a good sign.

His value comes into play during playoffs. Mets are going for it.

@IanMBrowne Sale finished strong. His last two innings were scoreless. He threw 70 pitches in five innings. One more start in Spring Training.

Is that a threat?

He's a good replacement for Renfroe, especially if he were in RF instead of CF. C McGuire 1B Casas 2B Arroyo SS Story 3B Devers RF Duvall...

Your concern is baked into his price.

I was going to the Pollyanna Fallback Plan when a pitcher has a bad outing in a spring training game.

The dream never dies, just the dreamer.

As long as he's healthy, I'm not worried about it.

I don't see Arroyo batting leadoff. They are a very left handed heavy team right now. Good chance 1 and 2 are both left handed hitters IMO.

I think it's going to be: Verdugo Devers Turner Yoshida Duvall Casas Kiké McGuire

Just have a season with 150 games?

Agreed. 100% Even if the pitchers are just going 1-2 innings at a time.

Duvall gives me more concern than Turner…

Lowering expectations?

PTBNL acquired from Royals On Sunday, the Red Sox acquired infield prospect Angel Pierre from the Royals as the player to be named later in the...

Also that whole 2022 AL Cy Young thing. But, yes, Kate Upton…

As long as he comes out healthy I’m not panicking yet.

Very good point. I just noticed he's actually pitching with his right arm, so a little off the fastball, now at 46 mph.

He doesn’t want to show his real stuff until he faces them in the opening series.

My biggest worry with the lineup going into the season is how well Turner, and Duval will produce. They’ll be in the middle somewhere, and I think...

He's just working on something!

Yeah, but he's married to Kate Upton.

Meanwhile, Chris Sale is in a train wreck vs. the Orioles: 2 innings, 5 runs, 6 hits (2 HR's), 1 K.
