Not trying to be overly negative, this team 100% has the bats to overcome some bad starts….but that won’t last forever. Their current rotation is in a BAD place right now. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries, how's everyone feeling? Is Soxtalk at full strength for tomorrow? Added turmeric to the nutrition to help recover from microfracture surgery in the knee. Going to attempt running for the first time this weekend. Edited April 11, 2022 by ptatc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Great hitting but realistically, Detroit pitching was pretty awful . They hung a lot of pitches. Hope the hitting is contagious and it continues tomorrow at the Opener,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no I agree the rotation is a potential lead weight on the season, but other teams will get SP injuries due to the short Spring Training and disrupted seasons. This season is going to be big time about the depth in pitching teams have and I agree the cupboard is beyond bare in the Sox farm system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, in agreement there, everyone is going to go through it at some point. My issue the whole time has been you could see that coming for everyone....just don't feel like the Sox were prepared for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 There's a lot of mediocre pitching in baseball this year and especially in the AL Central. Sox should feast and win a lot of 8-6 ball games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on that less baseball take eh? The way to make the regular season mean more is to stop expanding the playoffs. Not making the season shorter. Shortening the season would be awful.

Maybe, that would be nice. But even forcing hospitable stadiums to host more april games and balance it out with revenue sharing so it's not northern teams getting out ahead seems like the thing that could be done if you were capable of doing things to improve the sport and not just hovering around the size of bases because they can't argue back.

One game out of 162 is less meaningful than one game out of 150. It's very simple math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
