Wednesday, MLB finally announced the penalties for the Boston Red Sox for sign-stealing in 2018. Astros fans have to be upset that the Red Sox received such a small punishment.

It's hard to believe that Cora is being punished for his involvement in sign-stealing with the Astros in 2017, but had nothing to do with it occurring when he went to Boston in 2018. The Red Sox released the following statement below.

Most of the players didn't know this was going on? Wow, clearly MLB just wants to sweep this under the rug. The report was supposed to come down on the eve of the season beginning, which could mean the start of the season is nowhere in sight.

MAKING THE GRADE

How Lovie Smith's report card is graded on a Houston Texans-size curve

The Houston Texans have already underwhelmed in their first three games of the season, causing many fans and media to voice their doubts about QB Davis Mills, OC Pep Hamilton, and HC Lovie Smith.

Which begs the question, should the organization be patient with these guys? The answer is yes, if we consider the credibility Lovie Smith brings to the team that they haven't had in a while. And if we're being honest with ourselves, Lovie has a lot more to fix than just wins and losses over the first three games of 2022.

Finally, we lay out several reasons why there's no need to panic and the Texans still have time to get things moving in the right direction, Rex Burkhead aside.
