About a month away from opening day in the MLB.

I have to say, I LOVE the addition of the pitch clock. More games ending in the "2 Hours 15 Minutes to 2 Hours 45 Minutes" range. Not too many games going past 3 hours anymore. Like some long games are fun but at times it is still excruciating watching a game go 4-5 hours lol like in the past, especially in the middle of the regular season.

It's weird having anything "timed" in baseball — it had always been a "timing-free" sport — but IMO the pitch clock/hitter clock is a good idea. Not being timed is a recipe for all sorts of neurotic/OCD behavior — batting glove adjusting, cup adjusting, toe tapping, bat swinging, blinking 10 times before each pitch ...

As far as the Sox go, my expectations are low in terms of record; I'm thinking they won't even finish at .500. I do expect Sale to get hurt AGAIN, and I expect Arroyo to get hurt AGAIN. I'm sure there will be one or two guys who do surprisingly well, but I can't see their lineup generating a ton of offense.

Sale gave up 7 earned runs in 3 innings pitched including 3 HR’s. Thought the Kluber outing was bad. Yeesh.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Yeah.  The Sox could be the worst team in Boston for awhile.

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVALLL!!!!!

WALK OFF!


Offense may be better than expected. They certainly can fight to the very end. Bullpen today also looked good once we used our good arms and not the bums (Brasier, Ort). Just need the SPs to do better...

Three games, 2-1 and 9 runs each game.  Hitting doesn't look a problem so far, it's all about the pitching which is terrible.

I have Duvall on my fantasy team.  So far so good.
