If we were chock a block with talent I would say “great, 92 wins!” but I’m concerned that we revert...

    Sox Rotation '22- The Good, The Pretty Good, The Not-Bad, the Pretty Bad and the Ugly

    Yes! This. I remember that game as a ‘Why can’t we get pitchers like that?’

    7 Burning Questions

    1) Who is your primary 1st baseman? Franchy Cordero 2) Is James Paxton in the rotation, the bullpen or on the DL? DL 3) Assuming health, is Chris Sale performing better or worse than last season? Same. Unstoppable against weaker, and fallible against greater. 4) Which of these position...
