Bob Sacamano Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) How many days does Robert (and I guess Madrigal) have to stay in the minors to get that extra year of control? It's 11 right? So his MLB debut could be at home against Seattle on April 6th? Edited August 12, 2019 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first weekend home series usually draws pretty well since people want to get out of their houses and do something after sitting inside for about 4-5 months.

Yeah so judging by the schedule, they could debut during the Seattle series, but I have a feeling they'll wait until Friday 4/10 against the Twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Play Texas and Seattle at home in April. Ton of off days in July, that makes sense. Edited August 12, 2019 by Harry Chappas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want to have happen? Have teams in warm areas and teams with retractable roofs and domes host the first month of the season?

TheTruth05 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Besides starting the schedule while there still snow falling the schedule is pretty balanced and somewhat favorable to the Sox. That 2nd half isn't bad at all. Edited August 12, 2019 by TheTruth05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 45 minutes ago, bjm676 said: weird, they don't play Detroit until June. Sox play 63 games before they play the Tigers, then play them 16 out of 45 games, then not again until they finish the season in Detroit. All in all, it's not a terrible schedule. Only one 3-city trip. Weather? You never know. Hopefully some of the teams the Sox face, they have a lot of shared off days just in case.

It really could set up for a decent record going into August, and then a gradual fade away. But stuff happens- bad teams become good (hopefully us); good teams get injured and play bad. But yeah, the last two months will be challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t lose a full year of control over 9 or less games. Edited August 13, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
