Engel double. Cordell scores. 3-0 Sox. Engel has had 2 hard hits...def not cheapies EDIT Anderson singles him in on a rope line drive up the middle. He is also 2-2 with no cheapies. 4-0 Sox

I think just MLB.TV. Anderson scores on wild pitch. 2-0 nice start. Madrigal coming up soon.

Engel lead off single on a 2 strike count then Anderson triples down first base line. Engel scores easily. 1-0 Sox

Nice 3-6-1 DP turned by the Sox.

5 pitch leadoff walk for Lambert. Then hit the next guy in the helmet. Commentator said they were in Glendale, California, twice.

Good call lol

Farmer bringing politics into it lmao

Im sorry i said something positive. I wont do it again.

Mincada rbi triple aafter Eloy single. Moncada really hitting the ball well early. Shades of what we might see this summer.

Banuelos Ks the side

I don't really think they are stop gaps. To me, a stop gap is just plugging holes where needed and hoping they work. Here, I think they are holding down positions until the spects are ready. I don't know about you but i would much rather Jay be in that lineup than Engel and have Engel be a late inning defensive replacement. When Eloy gets here, you get him in Left, Jay in center and Palka in right with Leury being a nice platoon piece if he's healthy. Bench of Garcia, Engel, (defense primarily), Rondon and later in the season, Seby. Not too shabby all things considered.

Sounds like Oakland game is going over much more smoothly...

Not sure but whoever it is I definitely wouldn't mind listening to them all season...

I may be wrong but i think they changed him to a reliever when he moved to Charlotte

Not gonna lie, i really like the commentators...

Lets see what Fulner has changed...other than his hair

One word: Rebuild. I wonder what this graph would look like a few years ago when the Astros were rebuilding, or the Royals, or the Cubs. Not really sure what else you expected. Over a decade of losing will do that. The goal here, and the whole reason we are rebuilding right now, is to get out of that cellar and get some sustainable success. Consistent winning is the only thing that will reignite the excitement of the wider fanbase.

Good idea. Maybe I'll do that. For what its worth, im as disappointed about Machado than anyone. Am i pissed? No. Whats the point. I really dont understand how people let the decisions of the front office of a sports team consume their lives so drastically.

Roach will pitch like, what, 2 innings, maybe 3? Its the first game of spring training and its split squad, not opening day. Cry me a river.

I personally think Lopez develops into an TOR starter this year. If he and Dunning pan out and Gio doesnt, the trade is still a win IMO.

Any prospect that might boom in the next couple years? Basabe? Rutherford? Dunning? Gonzales? Bush? Madrigal? That Adam Eaton comment doesn't make sense in the context you're giving me.

Like I said, people will always find a way to find the negative in things. Even with this mega free agency class that's coming, free agency isn't everything. They will still have trade options as well, which we full know trades are Hahn's specialty (except for Tatis obv). Other options I'm sure will become available, such as those on the international market or those we are not even capable of knowing right now.

Sorry it took so long but here ya go. Feast your eyes... https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-free-agents-for-2020-2021-and-2022/c-302396056 "If all the players in line for free agency in the 2021-22 offseason actually reached the open market, it might be one of the best classes ever"

Which honestly doesn't suprise me as we are right in the thick of a rebuild. The only way this team is going to gain fans is by consistently winning. With that, they are making the sacrifice of losing fans by rebuilding. Losing more now to hopefully gain more in the future.

But you have no idea if they won't sign at all. There are still some big free agent classes coming. Just because they failed to convert on this one (like Hahn said might happen) doesn't mean they won't spend a significant amount of money here in the near future.
