I know I've seen them in some games I've watched.

Also noticed that they do have someone manning the manual scoreboard in Boston with the line score of the game but they are not bothering to do the out of town scoreboard right next to it.  Was there a second guy in there doing the out of town scoreboard usually or did one guy do it all?

I thought it was 2...

Other places have had them sitting in the front row down the line and jumping into the field of play to retrieve the ball. Can't really do that at Fenway in left field.

Fenway has such limited foul territory that it is probably the easiest place to get away without them.

What a potent offense against mediocre pitching!   :notworthy:

Nats 2 NYYs 0, bottom of the sixth.

With as much mediocre pitching as there is out there, that kinda hitting can get you in the playoffs.

I mean, you're probably not going to the World Series but it'll get you in the dance.

The Nike logo on every jersey is a terrible look IMO and this is year one of a ten year contract to outfit all of MLB. 

For A Cool $1 Billion, MLB Adds Nike Swoosh To Uniforms

The Nike swoosh will adorn all 30 Major League Baseball uniforms starting in the 2020 season as part of a 10-year deal between MLB, Nike and retailer Fanatics — a deal that is reportedly valued at more than $1 billion and should haul in about $3 million a year for each team.

I hardly notice it... :noidea:

    • This is a direct quote I copy and pasted from your first post in that thread.   And you’re saying you never said this?  “But I sense we are starting to fade”?   “And that team still didn't win anything.  The playoffs are a different animal.  Right now we are a good team playing above our water line.  But I sense we are starting to fade and again....that is ok.  It is great experience for the coming years. “
    • I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either. 
    • It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.    
    • I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
    • I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship. 
    • We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers
    • The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.
