The full team is scheduled to report for their first workout on February 15th. That is 22 days from today
Since I'm no baseball genius, I admit openly that I have no idea if the current team will be great, good or bad but I do have some faith in Breslow to build a competitive team. He has put together a starting pitching rotation that is rated by all the alleged "experts" as maybe the best in the MLB so the Red Sox got that going for them.
They do seem to have a hole in both the infield and in the lineup.
As far as the infield goes, they need a good third baseman and I'm not sure they currently have anyone that meets the standard of "good".
As far as the lineup goes, the "experts" are saying the lineup will have a problem against left handed pitchers.
That tells me their ideal solution would be a third baseman would hits well against lefties.
No matter what Breslow does over the next 22 days, I am still looking forward to watching the boys of summer play my favorite sport. And yes, I will be watching because NESN has stated they will be "broadcasting the majority of the 32-game schedule either on NESN, NESN+ or NESN360".
They are predicting 12-18 inches of snow for my little corner of the world.
I'm as prepared as I can be but I do have my concerns.
The Beast is old and starting to show its age. It is about 20 years old now and despite my vigilance with its maintenance, it is still a machine and machines eventually wear out.
For instance, last year I discovered that the valve seats had worn just enough to prevent the valves from sealing fully. This summer I dismantled the engine, ground a touch off the valve stems and reseated the valves but since I'm not a small engine mechanic, my work was probably less than precise. I have no idea if the valves are sealing correctly or not.
Normaly, I wouldn't care how much snow we got. I would wait until it was done snowing and go out to clear the drivewy. This time, I'm planning on doing my driveway twice because I'm not sure The Beast can handle more than 8 or 9 inches of snow.
My wife tells me it might be time for a new snow blower and I'm begining to think she might be right.
The media is less than clear on what happened to cause this so I'll forego any speculation. What I will say is there sure are a lot of people being gunned down by the federal government.
At some point in the near future, I'm betting a large group of individuals calling themselves a "militia" will step into the fray and before you know it, there will be some kind of stand-off. Several DHS or ICE or FBI or whatever three letter acronym (TLA) people will be shot. Also, numerous civilians will die.
When the federal government starts killing civilians, it never ends well for anyone.
As far as Minneapolis goes, until the truth about what happened comes out, everything you read or hear, from both the media and the government, is bullshit. Particularly if it comes out of "truth social".
