Going To Camp: Patriots Season Has Begun!

Patriots preseason camp is in full swing, and forum members are sharing information about the team and how to go and enjoy open practices. For example:

Per this post, you should always check Patriots.com;

RAIN POLICY
When the Patriots are forced to practice indoors due to inclement weather or poor field conditions, those practices will be closed to the public. For that reason, we stress the importance that fans and media visitwww.patriots.com/trainingcamp or call the training camp hotline at 508-549-0001 prior to every practice for up-to-the-minute changes in the daily practice schedule.

Also, here’s one member’s view of Sunday’s practice:

Was at camp today. My thoughts:

Sox Win Again, 2-1 over Mariners

Another game, another ninth inning homer to win the game, this time by Mookie Betts. For the second consecutive game, the Red Sox offense was mostly silent for eight innings but was rescued in the 9th by a timely home run.

Former Red Sox Farmhand Drake Britton Suspended

Britton logged 27.2 innings for the Red Sox in 2013 and 2014 before being waived prior to the 2015 season. He was plucked off waivers by noted Boston trash-picker Theo Epstein and the Chicago Cubs, before moving on to the Tigers organization this season.

Porcello’s The Ace

After a 6-2 win over the Angels this weekend, Rick Porcello now has 14 wins on the season. He’s pitched like an ace most of the season, making concerns about the pitching staff a bit overblown, argues Dave McCullough over at SOSH Baseball.

DEMOTED! Braves Send Down Wisler

Yeah, the headline is inappropriate and kind of stupid. That’s sort of what we’re going to do here – SELL THE CONTENT.

The putrid, last place Atlanta Braves sent Matt Wisler back to AAA, rather than suffer his ineptitude anymore. Ian York at SoSH Baseball thinks it might have something to do with his curveball.

Red Sox Acquire Fernando Abad

With Dave Dombrowski having traded for pitchers Brad Ziegler and Drew Pomeranz a few weeks ago, trade deadline day was expected to be quiet – but Trader Dave has secured the services of Fernando Abad, a lefty specialist.

In the SoSH Forums, fans are getting to know Abad:

.163/.192/.265 vs LHH this year

Weird how a guy can have a 110 career ERA+ but also have a career W-L of 6-24. He has a career OPS+ against of .950 in tie games, which has no doubt been a big part of that W-L record. 206/259/326 against him when he comes in with the lead though.
He also only has one career save in 297 relief appearances. The old school “stats” don’t make him look good, but who cares as long as he gets people out.
