Jarren Duran just popped out right behind 2nd base (with two outs).... As camera zooms in to show the catch, Duran is already rounding 2nd...


Who does that??

Sox blew some opportunities with runners on, but did just enough and Buehler looked good.

Would have done everything in my power to keep Burnes if I was them even if it meant overpaying

They tried to over pay him 4/180 was the last offer from Baltimore supposedly.

Burnes has very young twins and lives in Arizona in the offseason, so he took less per year but more years.

Pure Steel is right: godawful starting pitching and dead bats.

Not good.

I just can't believe how inactive they seemed to be in the pitching market, and they still have young players/prospects they could have used to acquire proven starters. It'd be one thing if you guys had a healthy Bradish and Grayson, I think that rotation could be fine. The offense hasn't been as bad as you'd think IMO, they do have a team OPS+ of 114 and 98 runs in 21 games. Offensive numbers are always going to be bogged down in April, especially with the colder weather.
