Crazy to think this is the worst he'll ever be in his career. It's all up from here. The haters will focus on him not being an elite LF without ever playing there, or being "too aggressive" at times... "He tries too hard. He's too good."

Good news for everyone here is the kids are trending towards early bed, there are no household obligations, and I'm ready to strap it in and provide hot takes galore.

ABS for challenges only or for every pitch?
I'm confused by this. Pitchers have always tried to live on the edges, it's not like they all of a sudden learned the edges are best. Maybe there's more strikes hurting the hitting environment which would be bad, but I don't think pitchers change the way they pitch because of it. The real reason people don't like it is because it eliminates something we can blame and b**** about. We say we want them to get it right, but deep down we all love a good ump controversy.

Should the Sox be buyers this deadline?
The Dodgers aren't heavy buyers? They've traded for Trea Turner and Max Scherzer in the same deal at a deadline in 2021. They acquired Flaherty, Kopech and Edman the one year. The Dodgers dont belong on your list I dont think. Yankees have also made big moves. Jazz, Rizzo and Gallo, Montas. Yankees also dont belong there in my opinion.

He's had 9 30 rolling AB instances in his career where he's ran a xwoba within 10 points of his current one. Ill believe it when the guy is good for an extended period.

100%. Top 5 at a loaded position.

Hicks is an enigma.

xwoba stats aren't very meaningful at 30 ab's Guy had the fastest hands I've seen. I've seen hands as fast, but never faster hands. That was his entire game and it covered up for a ton. The second he lost a tick, his career was over. Volatile profile, but a ton of fun to watch. He could start so much later than anyone else.

Dudes been popping out of his hat since he was 20. Just a big noggin. People were slow on him because of his goofy body.

Nothing with Jose profile says roids in my opinion. Nothing upticked, he just got in the cage and learned to turn and burn pitches on the inner half. Love that guys game.

He got to more lift in AAA once he got comfortable at the level (although small sample). He's ticked up the EV (especially max which is what matters here) to the pull side already, which was something we didn't see from J ram until he was in the big leagues for multiple years. So he's already made 75% of the transition. Lift is easier than EV gains. Is it a guarantee? Wouldn't say that, but then I think he hits 40 doubles a year.

It was a s%*# defensive play by antonacci, happy to settle that debate.
-
5/13/2026 - Royals @ Sox game 2 - 6:40 pm CDT
Also hit only 19 homers in his first 310+ big league games.

Nah, Jose has never hit the ball all that hard relatively and he doesn't have great bat speed, he just learned to turn on balls and maximize pull power on pitches he could. Antonacci has made that same change, he just hasn't perfected lift over liners. He'll get there. Jose always been stocky. In fact it was a knock on him as a prospect for development.

I know this guy who's been saying that for a while now....

Antonacci is a star. Tests the boundaries.

The walks have to go away. Let them hit it.

Crazy what this offense has been doing given the dead abs at the bottom. Kelenic stinks.

That's such a chris sale stat Sale loved living inside to righties early in his career.

5/13/2026 - Royals @ Sox game 2 - 6:40 pm CDT
When his timing is off he guesses more. This has been a definite pattern so far in his career. He is a roller coaster type player.

In between again and guessing.

Statcast hasn't been perfect, but none of those were even close. Obviously strikes.
