For being one of his "best" starts, like 90 pitches in a little over 4 IP is awful. Dude has a ways to go.

Peters with a couple great plays there in CF

God forbid we can actually keep a lead

His OAA metrics in CF is absolutely elite and Getz values defense and speed. Peters isn't going to be displaced anytime soon and whatever his bat provides is gravy.

He's got elite defense in CF so honestly even when regression hits he's still a useful player.

Nice! Tie game. Come on Romo bring the runner home

It was mentioned in his last start that the FB was sitting at around 92. If he has to dial it back that much just to have some decent command then it's going to be a big problem in the majors.

Nice job Sam and props to Nishida for beating out the throw

Yeah I think it was Law that recently said that if Braden can just learn to elevate the ball more he should be like a 25 to 30 HR guy or something to that effect (paraphrasing)

I think last year he was significantly better vs LHP than RHP and this year it is the exact opposite. I agree with you he will be a real weapon if he can get to a point where he is consistently good against both. With his power, I would expect him to be probably batting 5th long term right behind Colson.

Welcome back, Lillian! I'm sure you must be excited at all the left handed savages in our lineup! I dont think they will take Meidroth off of 2B (he's on pace for somewhere around a 2.5fWAR season). Gonzalez might get some time there maybe 1-2 times a week but IMO he prolly should be DH instead of Beni.

I wonder if the Sox will deal Pereira before the deadline for more pitching if hes still playing relatively well when he comes back since Braden will be the starter in RF.

I'm almost certain at that some point this season, there will be a girl in the crowd at the Rate with a big "Hey Mike Vasil, I'd love to check out your magic wand" sign

I'm glad he's taking his walks and getting on base. That's big for him.

Carolina wins a wild Game 2 to even the series.

What's he topping out at?

I would assume that alot of folks that get into HLS are that say to be fair. It would take an LSAT that's 175+ just to have a shot and if you can pull that off, it's not hard for someone to have a very inflated opinion of themselves.

Solid first AB for Gonzalez...that was like 8 pitches.

Colson has an ISO well north of .200 and is basically a pure power hitter with below average hit tool so regardless of who is third, he should be batting fourth based on his skill set. I agree that Beni shouldnt be third, tho.

Sounds like grade 1 so hopefully just like around 2 weeks.

Gonzalez run is unreal.....and great to see 3 BB for Braden.

There's no such thing as too much savagery, Ron. If anything, I want to see Vargas and Meidroth learn how to switch hit. Give me MOAR!

I dont think Roch will be MLB ready by the beginning of 2027. He will likely need at least 1 full year in the minors and so we're really looking at some point in 2028 and we'll see if Colson is still a defensive maven at SS then as his stats say he is now. There are alot of moving pieces and unpredictability but yeah things could get crowded at certain spots at some point and that's a good problem to have where you can trade some surplus or blocked players for other needs at some point.

So basically everybody that was saying this wasn't a real .500 type team just got exposed.

So we went from Konnor Griffin to a 4th starter. Lulz
