Gordon is correct about the catch. The base runner never returned to the bag.

I have never seen umpires blow two calls this obvious in a row maybe ever.

Also, I believe specifically with Noah it has been said that with him being so tall, his shorter extension helps him keep his mechanics more repeatable.

I can not stand the guy.

He missed two punch outs there.

I’m not saying I want to see it regularly but I like the aggressiveness.

I’m sure I’m in the minority I’m but I liked it. First inning, go for it.

It's sports. Guys get injured. Hamstrings are incredibly tricky as well. I once tore my hamstring off the bone and even though I told the trainer and a doctor something was seriously wrong, they told me it was just a pull. I had no bruising until almost 2 1/12 months later when they had me jog and I felt the slightest pinch, almost thought nothing of it. By that night, I couldn't sit down and when I woke up the next morning, I had a bruise that went from the middle of my butt to the middle of my calf. I wasn't cleared to run for another 3 months; and it took me almost a year until I felt normal running, even though I was cleared for 6 months. Everyone heals and feels differently. All they can do as trainers is make the best educated guess based on their evaluations and the feedback provided by the athlete. I also had never pulled a leg muscle before that and haven't since.

I agree. Just seems like there’s a better foundation this time around to make this sustainable for more then a year or two like before.

I’m not saying this as if I know the answer definitively yet, but what if after all the crap that Chris Getz got, is it possible that he actually has this whole organization going in a good to great position moving forward? He seems to have found a type of player they want. They want guys who play hard every night and are just ball players. Whatever you say about their individual talent level, they all play hard no matter what. His talent acquisitions are starting to look better too. Mune obviously helps, but think about Vargas, Meidroth, Antonocci, Teel, B Montgomery, Vasil, Smith, Thorpe, Bonemer. Those are just the few guys who are good players. He’s had misses but every GM has. I’m not sure what I think of Veneble yet. It’s been hard to judge his on field decisions because of where the team was last year until now. He’s had tons of limitations with the roster until now and even some now. I find his interviews boring. However, people that know him rave about him and his knowledge of the game. Most importantly is that he seems to have completely changed and set a culture. Massive win there. This was a Chris Getz decision and so far he seems to have gotten it correct. Development at all levels looks better. They seem to be drafting better and higher draft picks seem to be developing properly. Also, guys at the major league level look like they are improving as well. This is due to the people he hired. The number one draft pick is also about to be joining the organization. It could all fall apart by July, but as of now Getz seems like he may be ok at this.

Sac bunt and then suicide squeeze. Try again in the 11th.

Game was over as soon as it went to extras. Sox have not been good at Manfred ball for a while.

I agree. Not sure what else Peoples' needs to prove down there.

Acuna leading off is not a recipe for success.

Defense did him no favors either. If that passed ball doesnt happen then that ball to Vargas is prob a game ending DP.

Short answer....no.

Going to driveline seems to have really screwed him up. He wanted to add power and instead he lost his ability to hit period.

Ant just put it on there and didnt tell him. Left it on after he hit the HR.

I mean yes, McDougal and Thorpe are better then McCarthy? McDougal has Vasquez type stuff.

They have depth. Its just injured. McDougal, Adams, and Thorpe.

Peoples has been very good in AAA. Not sure why he’s not up with the big club.

Whenever I wonder where Braden will play when they bring him up, Kelenic goes and has a game like tonight. I see why he’s intriguing as a player but the negatives always make an appearance in costly ways.

He’s been compared to Troy Tulowitzki. If the Sox take him and that’s who he ends up to be, I wouldn’t really care if Emerson turned into Trout. I’d still be totally fine with the decision. This is a 1-1 pick, you can not afford to miss.

Shouldn’t be. They had an off day Monday.
