Red Sox fire everyone

I’m not sure where to put this. We’ve lived in Alabama for 15 years. In that time I think the Montgomery Biscuits have been bought and sold on three or four occasions. Through all of the the team maintained a fan focus. The field was alway immaculate. They had “the Biscuit Bunch”, a bunch of local college kids who were like cheerleaders/brand ambassadors and a mascot named Mo. Multiple people taking tickets at the gates. Lots of food choices and the in between innings shenanigans that many minor league parks have. Overall, it was a fun atmosphere and they consistently drew well, especially this time of the year. This fall the team was bought by some private equity group who owns a few other teams. Last night my wife and I went to a game for our 22 Wedding Anniversary. I couldn’t believe the difference. The field was in awful shape. I’ve played on better taken care of high school fields. The video board had a huge bank of lights that weren’t working. They tried to play a hide the ball game but you couldn’t follow it because of the broken bank of lights. The biscuit bunch was one guy standing on the dug out trying to get people to clap. Gates were closed so there were only two places to get in. It was striking. The food and beer choices were limited. And no Mo mascot. I’m so sad. It was always fun watching games there.

yes, but it won't be until the 3rd inning.

Me too. Also, Cubs in 1st place. Don't look back, fellas.

That's a loose stool.

Canberra has me a little worried, more so with the location than the velocity.

I think Lindor got hurt last night. The Mets are the baseball Jets.

I'll preface this by saying I don't know horsefeathers about pro basketball, but I'd look for a solid caretaker coach (who can actually coach) with a sound philosophy/system. Find an older coach who will bring a great young assistant who can run the system when they get talent. I would not hire someone from the college ranks.

What a homestand!! Good gracious.

agree. I'm optimistic for the season. When the playoffs start, that's a horse of a different color. Let's see what Jed can find at the deadline. If the farm boys keep going off there will be a lot talent to deal. You know at some point Busch and Seyia will find their stroke.

Those UCLA uniforms are the best in college baseball.

The Mets are lost in space. Back to reality. I'm hoping for a split here. A 5-2 homestand is pretty good.

The minor league season is starting in a fun way for young'uns. I try not to look at anything for at least a month, we are near to there and there is a lot to be happy about. If they could *really* start a development engine like the Brewers and Dodgers, look out.

You can math it out any way you want, you don't pitch to Nico there for a variety of reasons.

The Mets own him, so today was among his best against them

It's jus this "announcer" happy-ass voice he puts on. Not a big fan either. I like Taylor, but he's a little too much with her.

Nico - Your NL April player of the month.

Is he the clearest #1 pick since Harper?

Get him to Knoxville

Cubs pitchers dropping like flies

Let me introduce you to Josiah Hartshorn.

Shaw is a future all star 2nd baseman at his 80th percentile outcome. But the Cubs have one of those locked in. it’s not time to panic, let him do what he’s going to do for now, but Jed should be on the phones looking for starters. He’s the best value player to trade for them.

Our Cobs not looking so good to start the season.
