Very well played game to secure a winning series and road trip! 4-2 against two winning teams. Double digit wins on April 23. Date to beat for #11 is 5/9. Beni has been slugging in the leadoff spot, and also in late/close situations. Nice hero moment for the vet tonight, and a quick easy 9th for Dominguez. Sox are a pretty solid 7-9 on the road, even with a couple winnable ones left on the table. Need to bring this offensive progress back home. Since the poor 1-5 week to start the season, they are 9-10.

Will always have a soft spot for Sheets. Funny how Gio has always had a former Sox teammate since leaving. Reylo, then Crochet/Hendriks, and now Gavin.

There's my leadoff hitter

No runner for Quero, so need to keep it off the ground

Not an easy task to scratch something across against Sewald

Burke just got his first W since last June lol

12th highest OPS battling leadoff this season (minimum 4 games), but much lower by OBP

Teel and Hays should help to lengthen things

Keep it up Dart

Open the roof!

Was listening to a Jomboy podcast and they were talking about trying to get Mune for an interview when the Sox are in Anaheim next week.

WOW Mune

He's a hard worker and super eager to learn. Was spending a lot of time with Vargas in ST getting in extra defensive reps.

Davis Martin, professional pitcher

Nothing he could really do there, it was almost certain 2 no matter what

All tied up, keep the line moving

Good signs for Streak Watch: Soroka gives up above average fly ball and barrel rates. Mune is hitting a ridiculous 40% of his fly balls for homers, and Colson is at 27%. So far he’s been worse early on especially against 2-3-4 and then settles in. Sox could capitalize with their recent propensity for scoring early. Still no LHP in the AZ pen. LHB are 12-41 (.293) vs. Soroka with half of those hits going for extra bases. A few of the pitches/spots he commonly misses vs. LHP with are in Colson/Mune hotspots. His changeup has been overperforming the metrics, and has a .635 expected slug against. Bad signs for Streak Watch: Closed roof, and Soroka has been nails at home in 3 starts (1.59 ERA). He’s also been very good with RISP (and the Sox have not). Schwarber was 0-3 with 2Ks and a walk against him, and some think Mune is Japanese Schwarber.

Shomon when asked about Mune comps:

Marketable Mune

Agreed. A Luis that isn't getting his A-swing off isn't going to do enough damage. He's being passive IN the zone while hitting like two thirds of middle-middle pitches into the ground. 51% overall groundball rate, under 12% pulled fly ball rate, and a 3.3% barrel rate. All worse than league average and career worsts, leading to a 4-31 skid with only 4K but 0BB. The timing at least makes for funny small sample size theater? His defensive metrics are also down a little, so some of it could be just the general Mets struggles compounding. They broke the streak and Soto is back, so hopefully the vibes start looking up.

Surprised it's Sims and not Bido. Davis has looked fine last couple times I've seen him in Charlotte. Threw a two inning save striking out the side in the 9th in a shutty. 96-98 with a high 80s slider. Don't recall him being wild.

Agreed on Braden, plus RF who could cover CF for a stint if needed. Great arm. They've also had Wolkow spending a little extra time in CF, at least compared to last year

So far, I think so. Good reads and instincts, covers ground pretty well. Would definitely put him there before Braden.

10 is the record which Mune tied tonight, 11 would set a new high. Dae-ho Lee hit his 9th and 10th homers on 6/10 and his first double on 6/16 for the Mariners in 2016. Also hit his 3rd and 4th homers on the same day (5/4), so two 2 HR games before your first double might stand for a while unless Mune Mania gets even wilder somehow. Certainly won't complain if it does.

4 times in a row and 6 times total, 25 games into the season. Judge and Stanton are at 55 times (not counting playoffs) since 2018. Keep at this pace and Mune/Montgomery can catch up in two seasons or so Also saw this after the first Dbacks game: The 4th time would have netted $20m+ but also probably sent some guys in black suits to your door lol
