Crazy how the "old guys" on this team are like 32-33. Fun roster.

Chill lol. They are at draft camp. They also don't generally send the prep picks to affiliated ball anyways. They go the instructional league route in draft year. I know you are aware of this because you like to bring it up with Billy Carlson every chance you can.

It's kinda hard to add a Lee type on March when you've got so much roster flux, but yea. He stinks. He's not good. Probably one of the worst defensive catchers in AAA.

Someone on Twitter mentioned trading for James McCann and…I don’t hate it, necessarily.

Are we gonna see some 2026 draftees tonight?

Colson is good to start.

And any other team could have had him for free in March. Guess everyone hates him haha

I'm surprised they called up Quero, they really hate Lee. I just hope Quero gets most the starts, he needs the PA. Romo can be the twice a week guy.

Cherry-picking out the bad starts is literally leaving out key facts haha

Yeah, I have a tendency not to ignore the bad stuff So did his arm just start hurting at the start of the 2nd start? Only went 2/3 an inning. Was it 100% healthy for the start 3 before the IL? Selection bias is always ripe at soxtalk! If we exclude the starts that Soxtalk decided shouldn't count, he had a 4.97 FIP, 5.23 K/9 and 4.13 BB/9. Abysmal.

you mean the two starts right before his elbow injury?😂

he's definitely the first pitcher with elite command to struggle in his first 9 games

I’m not expecting much from Thorpe this year, but I do think he’s interesting in the long run. Great news about Teel. I didn’t think it was as serious as an Achilles tear, but I also didn’t think we’d see him again this season.

A guy that got some mention here.

He will need more than just a return of low 90s velocity. He needs another tick or two on the radar gun otherwise his margin for error is slim. It also remains to be seen if his command and the elite changeup remain intact. Sometimes after TJS, some pitchers gain a bit of velocity. If he can get up to 92-95 instead of 89-92, it would be very helpful.

I'm getting used to Ray Ray arguments now. He always leaves some key fact out.

By any name, Boston Smith is making impression, impact in...BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In order to start making a name for himself, Boston Smith first considered the name for himself. His actual first name is Noah, but as he explored playing baseball beyond high schoo

"I have a bad feeling about this" Panican @ron883 should stop trusting his feelings but be relieved.

It is with a heavy heart that I retire ‘Lenyn Sosa Scared of Ball’. Maybe a Blue Jays fan can put it to good use. Another contender for avatar was ‘John and Gordon Share a Glizzy’.

Kumar Rocker is coming off a tough outing (5.2 IP, 7 ER) vs. Houston, but was pitching to a solid ~3.5 ERA until mid June. 90 innings and counting is a career high for him, so the Rangers are probably hoping the break helps him bounce back. His slider is very good and he throws it 38% of the time. It has a 40% whiff rate and just a .182 average against. Everything else (sinker/cutter/4seam/changeup) is vulnerable to getting hit pretty hard. Velo is a bit below average at ~94mph. Pretty strong splits, LHB are putting up an .857 OPS against him. TEX pen is still limited; their top 2-3 are fresh to protect a late lead, but they’ll have some tough choices to make if tied or trailing. Old friend Tyler Alexander is available, so we’ll likely see him.

He was a top 70 prospect whose velocity dropped a tick or two when he first came up. If his velocity returns, his command and changeup along will make him a valuable SP.

Nice Zombie Meidroth avatar and yes I know the origin of the picture but the artist is a mystery.

This was only announced close to an hour ago. Perhaps we need a new title or another thread informing our community. I only see an announcement on The Tribune's website . There should be tweets out there parroting the Tribune's Lamond Pope article. My uninformed guess is 4 to 6 weeks.
