via X/Sox on 35th (Per Waddle & Silvy, James Fegan had originally posted this yesterday but took it down shortly afterward.)
Apologies if this has already been discussed (I can’t seem to find anything running a search on the sub), but how is this acceptable in light of where this team is at??
Is this a one-off with Pedro perhaps attempting to mitigate the roster being ‘pressed’ about their lack of production, or what in the actual ffff.

Score Runs (optional)
Win the game (optional)
I mean, all things considered, this is actually quite believable.
What’s unbelievable? Benching Korey Lee? Keeping Beni in over Sosa? Not having early hitting? All the stretching and field work being optional? This team is unbelievable, so all of that seems easy to believe.
Stretch (optional) makes it believable
Strike out three times and pull your hamstring (mandatory)
The lack of context means that everyone is just going to interpret this however they want.
As far as I’m concerned, the wording on the schedule means far less than what the guys are *actually doing*. They can call it optional on the schedule, but if all the guys are all there and working on the stuff they need to work on without making it mandatory, then there’s no reason to schedule a mandatory session.
We know Sox aren’t good at baseball, but connecting the dots between that and the wording on a daily schedule is, I think, a stretch (optional).
Game Time (Optional)
1st base coach (optional)
Imagine being Nicky Lopez, you grow up in Illinois and get to play for the Sox when they perform like this.
Fegan was the one to post this and then he deleted it for some reason. So idk if it was a fake or what, he never explained. But I wouldn’t put anything past this team
Either way we gonna lose. Pedro trying to get fired as fast as possible
Is this fake lol? Wtf? You know, if you make enough things optional, then caring about winning gets added to the list.
I don’t know enough about game day scheduling to criticize.
Let me start by saying I think this team is a sorry sack of shit and a complete joke of an organization.
Having said that, I would be very curious what any other team’s game day schedule looks like. My ASSUMPTION is a competent organization does not have 70% of the agenda as option, but I honestly have no idea. 162 games is a long season.
However they are pathetic and the worst team in a sorry ass excuse of a franchise history so they should be out there getting better.
