If I understand this correctly, the Sox are about to go on a roll and there is a good chance Richie got pegged last night. Story seems to check out. Thread approved. 👍

Montgomery is an infielder and is playing his first year of professional ball. There is no need to rush his development as a player. Sox have not done that too many times where it has backfired. Montgomery needs to continue playing SS as long as possible. I see a lot similarities defensively and offensively with Corey Seager size and skills. I can't think of one good reason to rush a 20 year old who has played two weeks in High A Ball to the MLB roster.

Just informing all of you that we are about to get on a roll heading into this stretch vs the AL Central. You've been informed. You heard it here first. I guarantee that we win the division. I'm on vacation drinking at a pool and watched the game on my laptop. Two girls just approached my friend and I. Opened up the convo by asking if we like anal. Good day. Going out. Farewell. Let's. Fucking. Go. We fight a lot, but let's come together and GET HOT. I'm telling ya... I ain't joking. This is going to happen.

I'd love to see what Leury's agent sneaked into his contract. "Must play 120+ games."

I disagree. Mike Shirley took a starting pitcher. Rick Hahn et al turned him into a reliever.

Sox aren’t the only ones coming from behind

Kohl Simas back from his forearm strain. Pitching tonight for Kanny.

Well this is just a terrible reason.

Are you the one that suggested the sox trade Vaughn for Ed Howard a few years back?

They should claim Touki Toussaint and DFA one of those bums.

There were a dozen+ relievers available this off-season who were indistinguishable from Joe Kelly, so of course they signed the one who was inured, required multiple years to sign, and wouldn't be able to pitch consecutive days for the first 3 months of the season. This franchise is so dumb.

If Joe Kelly is solid the rest of the season I don't really take issue with this.

This is the weirdest fucking thread.

This organization just sucks. From the lowest level to Tony and JR. About the only title they can win is worst franchise.

He was hiding a shoulder injury. Shocking. Hard pass.

Why on earth would you do this. The kid has played a grand total of zero professional games in the outfield. Why do you even believe that he could play there at all, much less at the professional level, after playing 74 total games in the organization at SS?

Lol no

If Colson Montgomery could play corner outfield he might be another option to call up later in the season.

If the Sox go on a tear this will be an absolutely legendary post.

We haven’t seen good Eloy in like 2 years bud, he’s got a lot to prove until I consider him an upgrade over anyone in our lineup.

Some guy named Eloy Jimenez homered. Looks like going back to his old stance is working.

Sweep the Twins!

Gotta like a 4-2 west coast trip. Now it’s time to come home and at least go 5-2 this week, and 4-4 on the road next week before the break. Hopefully better.

Maybe if Mercedes was a better framer . . .

There were a lot of relievers with a .98 WHIP and 3+ K/Bb ratio?

Worst franchise in baseball. Perhaps in all of sports.

His defense fits right in with the rest of the team.

What a stupid offseason.

In a couple years maybe. Kid is 20 and should stay at SS in the minors for now.

1, TA blocks any prospect at SS for a few years 2. The Sox need speed in the outfield 3. The Sox need a LH hitter and Montgomery is starting to show he can hit with power 4. He is as tall as Eloy - 6'4" - and filling out. Looks like more of a corner outfielder than a SS to me. 5. He is the Sox No. 1 prospect. 6. September call-up, especially if the Sox are out of play-off contention. 7. Watch some of his highlight videos. 8. Talent evaluation. 9. Oscar Colas latest comments make me think Montgomery should come up before he does.

I love a good comeback story. Seabiscut, The Mighty Ducks, Robert Downey Jr, Kim Kardashian….

That’s crazy to move a high school kid to the big leagues that quickly. One of the last to pull that off was Alex Rodriguez. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/156293/ Look at Bryce Harper. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/page.asp?PT=player&ID=222138 Or CJ Abrams. Under 500 minor league plate appearances before being promoted. Then you’re asking a kid who has only played on the infield his whole life to make that conversion in season? Maybe if you’re collegiate relievers like Sale, Crochet or Joyce you can pull that off.

Kopech and Cease are both hands down better and its not close. Lynn, Gio and Cueto are probably equal to Montas overall (assuming Gio shakes off the bad stretch)

Hopefully he’s not the one getting it

On behalf of the 20% of the board that wants you to be right…LFG.

Counterpoint: doubt it.

Man you are fragile. One disagreement and you meltdown. Calm down Oscar. The Sox took a middle ground with Colas that recognized his lack of high experience and complete lack of playing time going back to the end of 2019. They are literally splitting the difference between an ACTUAL high level international pro who has proven himself at the highest levels outside of the US, and some unnamed player who is getting his first American pro ball experience. Like I said it is obvious he is ready for AA, but there is also no need to treat him like Seiya Suzuki.

Wynns looked better than VV

Yup, too bad that baltimore coughed up the lead twice, they really outplayed minnesota and should have swept them tbh

Poor Yoan

TA trying to pull the ball to the moon.

Nice job by Gavin bailing out TLR there

On July 5th if you are a Sox fan and you don’t go MLB.COM and vote for TA 5 times each day voting is open, you are not worthy of calling yourself a Sox Fan. That means you believe Bichette is a better SS or you’re LAZY. I VOTE 10 times a day under 2 email addresses and I’ll vote 15 times a day and use my wife’s email, my son has 5 votes a day and so does my daughter. We will be voting 25 times a day for TA, Vaughn, Abreu and Robert.

Vaughn better figure a way out of his “tired legs”. He imploded last year when his body started to tire. He’s too young to hit the wall like this.

Hey we don't kink shame.

Luckily this only needs to be explained to @tray, NO ONE else thinks it’s a good idea

Pop quiz, hotshot!
