15 min Patriots vs. Miami* Finally an actual game to talk about - What are your expectations for week 1? - How do they handle Mac? * Run run run run run. Or do they open it up a bit? Miami's strength on Defense is the secondary, specifically corner back. * Expectations for Mac Jones? - What will constitute a good game? - How much can we attribute to his GF/ QB Coach Sophie Scott? Walk throughs in the front yard
* Outside of Mac Jones who do you expect of want to see make an impact on offense
- Defense - Can this team win games with this defense? - If Mac has a bad turnover game can the defense be good enough? * Will they be steady, Explosive, or Dominant? - Who are you most excited to watch play? Judon, Uche, Perkins, JC Jackson, Van Noy back to Miami? - Right CB still biggest question mark. - Are they vulnerable with Dolphins WRs? - Can front 7 get to Tua?
* Your expectations on the first 1/4 of the season. - I don't see the Pats coming out slow. Easy schedule, rookie QB, coming off a bad year, Pressure on the coach
Pats O/U wins is 9.5. Hammer the over?
2 min Cam Newton says he has a lot to get off of his chest on his instagram show Funky Friday on Friday - Whats he getting off his chest? The Superman logo? * Does Cam Newton think we was done dirty by the Pats?
3 min NFL Kicks Off tonight Bucs vs Cowboys - Brady's 300th regular season car\;- How good do you expect Brady and the Bucs to look? * I have a feeling they wont be dominant like everyone thinks. * Still some lose cannons down there. - Can Brady maintain a tight ship? He's off the rails more and more each day Bitching about the different numbers. Is he as laser focused?
P.S. Leveon Bell signed to Ravens practice squad. Is he the best case to never bet on yourself if you're a lazy loud mouth c-bag?
1 min Bak 2 Basics
13 min The Red Sox are right on track for Dickies path to the playoffs Covid update: Danny santana and Kike activated. Franchy and MOtely crue reject Taylor Motter buh bye. - Do you blame the Red Sox for this outbreak? - Does MLB? Not getting to the 85% threshold. iIs that why they didnt postpone any games?
*Sox avoid the sweep. "whattathrow" Renfroe the hero - renfroe game winning HR and game ending outfield asst. * Has Renfroe been the best move Chaim Bloom has made? If yes what does that say about Chaim BloomABRHHRRBISBAVGOBPOPS2021 Stats4457811927850.267.322.837MLB Career Stats189027244912431112.238.298.790Year2021 StatsMLB Career Stats

Eovadli - 7 shut out inning 8 K'sRichards with the W getting 1 out. Hansel and Gretel some how gets the save
* Sox .5 game up on Yankees. 2 up on Toronto. 2.5 up on mariners. 3 up on A's Remaining Schedule White Sox 3 Mariners 3 Orioles 3 Mets 2 Yankees 3 Orioles 3 Nats 3
Dont get swept by WhiteSox Beat up on Orioles, Mets, and Nats. take 2 out of 3 from Yankees for home field play in
Yankees schedule is also tits. Orioles, Rangers, Indians, Sox, big 3 game Blue jays series to end the year. Blue Jays face the Rays 6 times down the strech with Orioels and twin in there and the yankees series.
I dont have faith in Seattle or A's catching Boston or NYY. They play eachother 7 games. Beat each other up in the standings.
Chris Sale vs. Gerrit Cole. Red Sox vs Yankees. Wild Card Play in Game. Book it.
How do you handle your line up? Schwarber's bat has been very good.
3 HR, 4 2B, 5 RBI, 15 BB, 17 K .345 AVG, .479 OBP, .569 SLG, 1.048 OPS
Bobby Dalbec has been good.
Boston Sports Info@bostonsportsinf·Sep 8Bobby Dalbec MLB - last month - 8/8 thru 9/7 min 50 AB's - 274 qualify BA - .371 - 2nd OBP - .457 - 3rd SLG - .871 - 1st OPS - 1.328 - 1st Before you ask Anthony Rizzo BA - .258 - 138th OBP - .319 - 157th SLG - .371 - 199th OPS - .690 - 188th
Some one is going to have to be out of the line up. Either LF or 1B is going to suck defensively or both. Best line up. OF - LF Verdugo - CF Kike - RF RenfroeIF - 1B Schwarber (has never played 1B)- 2B - Iglesias - 3B Devers - SS - Bogaerts - C VazquezDH - JDBench - Dalbec. Is Dalbec a guy you want pinch hitting in a big spot? Maybe. Small sample size of good hitting.
OR - Kike to 2B. Dalbec to 1B. Schwarber or JD in LF. - You sacrifice. Your best OF plus middle infield defense. - How much better is Dalbec at 1B than Schwarber? We dont know * You dont have a defensive replacement for 1B. Travis Shaw????
* Alex Cora needs to put his 2018 panties on because he has to push all the right buttons
If the Sox win the play in. What shot do you give them against the Rays? ZEROis the season a success?YES
PS - Freddie Freeman and Braves far apart on extension talks. Do you take him next year to fill the 1B hole before Casas gets up here?
3 min Baseball HOF. - Derek Jeter - What was better? Jeter's playing career or dating career? - Is Derek Jeter a top 3 SS all time or the most overrated SS all time?
Larry Walker is not a HOFTed Simmons, Cardinals in the 70s. Old fuck vote.
Bruins' Patrice Bergeron not signing an extension taking it year to year at 36. You okay with this?
