Truck Day 2023
- Thread starter mauf
- Start date
It always makes me giggle to see that they pack bubble gum and sunflower seeds in the truck like they can't get them in Ft Myers.
Just seeing that has me cranking Centerfield and running around the house.

Let's not get carried away. It's almost ten below zero at my house. Still, it was clever of those baseballs to head south and escape this weather.
And I am looking forward to ST. Pitchers and catchers is when?
I don’t understand why they don’t just ship this stuff to florida when they buy it, but it’s a milestone.
John Henry is spending all his money on the Penguins and won’t spring for Amazon Prime for the Red Sox
I remember those old threads. Wasn't @BoSoxLady often the first to alert us? Thanks to her then, and to @mauf now!
This seems like the appropriate thread for a Spring Training schedule:

I miss the old "2 games against a random NL team on the way to Opening Day" setup.
Especially because I know why they got rid of them

Because of interleague play, there is no intrigue in the Sox playing at the Braves, or the Phillies playing in Boston or similar. Every team plays every other team now, so who would go see the Sox at the Nats in a game that doesn't count when they will be there later in the season anyway?
Oh… duh right! I thought perhaps it was something way more insidious. Someone sleeping with someone? Murder…. I’m bored apparently
Geography produces intrigue I guess! FIVE times we get to see the Bravos
wondering how many of those weget to see Acuna and if he gets his trade wish. Fun player when he’s healthy at at his best.
In addition, I thought the attraction of these games also extended to giving MLB stadiums a run-through before an opening day sellout. In some cases, the players also get a little taste of the non-Florida weather as they head north.
Still that cold? My wife was back there visiting her sister a couple of weeks ago and y'all had below zero temps for her for a couple of days. Below 50 is our below zero!
The packing list is fun. Just think of the potential savings if MLB went with metal bats. Ping!
So then, why would anyone go to a spring training game? Aren't they just gonna play each other once the season starts??
Might be part of the Apple TV deal with MLB. I seem to recall those games have goofy start times.
Practice games for tryout purposes in the florida sun at S.T. prices <> exhibition games in a big league stadium at big league prices
What's this?
Think you're in the wrong thread and posting about a rumor, which also has nothing to do with the Red Sox at that
In EyeBob's defense, he didn't bring it up first. He was responding to this from earlier in the thread...
But the overall point is this...unsubstantiated rumors from anonymous troll accounts on Twitter shouldn't be brought the board at all. Though apparently an exception is made for "rumor" threads that are already off the rails anyway. This thread isn't that (nor is the MLB Offseason thread).
Fair point (FL sun in March is about as good as it gets) but if you factor in travel & lodging expenses to travel to FL it might actually be cheaper to catch the local pre-season game. Obviously depends on where you live.
