Ha 1 player only but very original. Palka will hit a HR sooner or later or even get a hit. Helpful hint : always best to pick power hitters since HR's and RBI's are worth more points.

When Palka makes the AAA All-Star team these guys will be sorry.

It’s pretty clear Don Cooper hasn’t helped the young pitchers progress, in fact he hasn’t done so in the last 5 years. It’s time to look elsewhere but who are we kidding, JR is running this ship.

Oh I so agree. Coop did a lot of good things but his time is up. Sox need a new vision. Coop's way has become obsolete.

Not to take over for fathom here, and while we all know they won't do it, they DESPERATELY need a new coaching staff and these guys, including Coop, should be shown the door. This is a bad team and I'm not blaming this on the staff, but they need to reset on it all, I'm finally in the camp that Coop has been here too long, time for a fresh voice.

Drama queen

Glasnow has some of the more impressive stuff that I've seen in awhile. Holy shit

Pirates, who love sinkers, were forcing a 2seamer he couldn't control.

Rays get a hold of him and have him work the 4 seamer high low, and his extension makes it devastating.

Rays have a godlike coaching and development staff, its amazing what they are doing.

The (age old, time proven) concept of coming out of the shoot (1st inning) with the game plan of keeping opposing hitters off balance seems to be a foreign concept to Lopez (and, as the one calling the game, Castillo... and by extension Rentaria/ Cooper).

Changing; eye angle, speed, and ball movement is far more important than repeatedly attempting to throw the fastball at maximum speed. MLB hitters feast on a steady diet of 95-97 MPH fastballs. Compare and Contrast Glasnow’s approach vs. Lopez’. It’s like night and day.

This feels like the series of the organization getting the most out of what they have against the team getting the least.

Absolutely. Twins starting to do this too.

Problem is the front office and owners then have to hire a new coaching staff. I don't trust them to find the right coaches
