Sox at Fish #2, 5:40 CDT 3/31
His arm is tough so far - still throwing like he's on the infield - but I think he'll be fine defensively. He's got good instincts and speed. He's taken a couple rounded routes this year, but that'll come with reps. His angles haven't been great. His problem is he can't and never could hit.

Fedde really stinks. Even that strike out was a hanging sweeper.

Schriffen speaks...
Problem is, homerism should go both ways... with Schiff, he feels none of the pain or angst from failure and embarrassing showings... instead he's just a total rah rah guy in the face of facts. Fans can't relate to a guy like that, in my opinion.

3/30 Game thread. Sox at Marlins 5:40 CDT
I'm not sure how I was supposed to support the case that Colson Montgomery has been an elite defender since joining the big leagues beyond what I provided. I obviously think he looks the part and he has passed the eye test and the Metrics back it up. He was in the 92nd percentile in OAA last year despite having nearly 1/2 as many chances as those ahead of him. The Sox not committing to him there just further highlights their ineptitude in my opinion. I also think Soxtalk is assuming that, but not even I think Chris Getz is dumb enough to move a guy off a position for a College kid so I think that's a Soxtalk fallacy. Either way, it's sad to see how unfamiliar some Sox fans are with winning baseball games that they gloat like the Sox won the World Series yesterday.

No idea what you're saying, but I've always stuck by Colson.

From his debut: 13th in FRV (3rd among SS), 18th in OAA for the year despite missing the first 3 months (top 10 when scaled), and 7th on FV in all of baseball. He also passed the eye test. The kid is a stud MLB SS. The weakest part of his game is his arm which makes the 3rd base move even more egregious. He has elite range at SS.

I think he's higher than that. Big range, big arm, and great feet. He's not fast but he's long and has a great first step.

He bunted up 4, with nobody out and 1st and 3rd with the pitcher losing it. Venable has been terrible.

While defensive metrics aren't perfect, Colson was a top 10 defensive player last year, and the 3rd most valuable SS from his debut date. It's insane he doesn't play there everyday and even crazier people are moving him off the position for a college kid!

Nah, he just never developed a third pitch. His change up was ++ when he came up, he fooled the league, and then never could develop something else. People now just sit on his flat fastball and tee off.

At least the Sox didn't give him a free out or anything. Paddack one of the five worst starters in baseball. Way to smash.

Sac bunting up 4 with 0 outs and 2 on, on a pitcher struggling. Lol

Sox at Brewers 3/29, 1:10 CT
Again... wrong, your understanding of betting markets is about as robust as your understanding of what a good baseball team looks like.

Sox at Brewers 3/29, 1:10 CT
Guy has a career 1.48 FiP with 13.14 K's per 9. He's had some terrible batted ball luck but his stuff hardly is a concern.
-
Sox at Brewers 3/29, 1:10 CT
Wrong, but I'm not going to waste time with you on market dynamics. The Brewers were without arguably their second best player and they would have pitched Priester today instead of sproat had he been healthy. This isn't a team at their best. This is just a terrible pitching staff.

Sox at Brewers 3/29, 1:10 CT
I'm shocked how much people liked seranthony. The idea this is a plus bullpen is not something I saw. I don't think dominguez is bad, but he's a 7th inning arm in a good pen. Taylor the only + arm on the staff imo.

This is not the best team in the NL no matter how many times you say. If you feel that way go make yourself rich with Brewers futures.

A good reminder that the White Sox are not rebuilding, they're just bad. There's no contending core coming together.

Colson mania.

White Sox trade Curtis Mead to Nationals for minor league C Boston Smith
Not a serious organization.

Sox @ Brewers 3/28 6:10PM
The splits aren't that different left v right either. Definitely better vs righties but it's about 14 points. I don't hate playing the split adv though, given that the players being replaced aren't great anyway. I'd have kept Hayes out there as Beni is disabled out there.

Brewers O/U is 82.5. They are not expected to be a great team. I do have the over though.

Luis so strong. Goes down to get it with his hands and catches it a little off the end.

Brewers announcers talking about how the Brewers learned how easy reese was to steal on this spring when he was with them lol

Sox @ Brewers 3/28 6:10PM
Idk, I've seen a bunch of things in the past month that shows his swing (path, angle, contact point, and velocity) were all ++. His timing just seems a little off right now.
