Will be funny if tomorrow is like a 4-2 game with the roof closed lol, I'm sure someone somewhere tracks stadium open/closed splits.

Sucks that Kay didn't have much today. Offense came to play and there's probably different pen arms in the game with a different score. Maybe should have walked Ildemaro the second time lol Chase Field looks so nice with the roof open, it's a shame all the retractable stadiums just end up being closed more often than not. Pretty sure the broadcast said it will be closed tomorrow so we'll see which of the streaks can keep going. Soroka's had a good year, won't be an easy matchup. Only 1 HR allowed in 3 home starts, but lefties are hitting .293 against him.

Back to back 3 hit games

Nice recovery for the DP there

#2 team OPS vs. LHP just behind the Dodgers, bottom 10 OPS vs. RHP

Colson notably didn't hit any until 14 games in, so his first 10 were actually in an 18 game stretch Two scary guys at the plate

Ties the rookie consecutive HR record as well as the record for most consecutive homer-only XBH to start a career One imagines there's a record out there for 3 teammates with simultaneous streaks approaching too for Mune/Colson/Vargas

I could exhaust the effort of locating whatever fall league post game or Sox blog interview, but what exactly would be the point? You've already indicated that you would wave it off as something he's just saying to be a "good soldier" because you've already decided that you're right. That's fine! I'm not here to bicker with you. The overwhelming majority of what I post here is MiLB content, bits of news, quirky statistics, and my personal opinions. If you interpret that as spin or whatever then I happily, eagerly encourage you to utilize the ignore feature instead of the random personal accusations.

This seems like an unnecessarily hostile response to me saying an occasional Colson 3B start doesn't bother me personally? The Sox have a multiple primary shortstops in the system, and I currently think Colson projects as the best 3B of the lot. At some point, some (most even) of them are going to play other positions. If preparation for that reality means Colson sometimes plays 3B then I get it. He does, and currently should, get the overwhelming majority of his time at short. He's very good at it. I feel like you are arguing just to argue, so let's leave it there on what we all agree on.

Both him and the team have said they want to maintain his versatility there, and with all the infielders in the system I'm fine with it. I'd put Colson on 3rd over almost everyone in the mix but Vargas, but there's more guys that I'd be fine with at short even before you get to Roch. I just don't like him playing 3B when it's to put Acuna at SS because I'd rather Acuna play almost exclusively CF.

Meanwhile a couple Sox couldn't get one .5 seconds after the call yesterday

Hagen is not ready, but Shane should be soon.

Nearly anyone else in the league is out there

Colson hits a bomb, high fives the boys, and is instantly reviewing tape on the iPad in the dugout

Homers in 3 straight for Vargas, 4 straight for Colson, 4 (pending) for Mune Too bad Ildemaro Vargas has HRs in 3 straight ABs

Has a hit in every game he's played this season, hottest hitter in the league out of nowhere at 34 after a <.700 OPS career lol

Mune HR in 4/30 (Camden, Fenway, Wrigley, Citi)

Another typical weak Vargas swing

That guy's been on a crazy heater

Sox would benefit from chasing ERod as early as possible. No LHP available in the AZ pen.

Tough pitch

1.400+ OPS, Shelton and Bones not far behind. Dash win 8-4.

Fitting that Cumming is the starter tonight? 😅

WS the team to watch so far, though some of these guys should be in Bham for the second half. Need a ruling on if this guy qualifies as a savage yet.
