I didn't love the idea of trading for Acuña to have him play CF, but he won't remain 5th percentile with his tools. The guy only has 600ish professional innings in the outfield compared to ~5000 in the infield. There's gonna be a learning curve. He's looked a little lost out there compared to his infield play. And the sample size is so small...Robert is 42nd percentile this season when he was 93rd last year, 98th in 2023. Fuckin Luis Arraez of all players is 99th percentile range after being 4th last season, 1st the season prior. Nobody believes he suddenly learned how to play defense at age 29.

Interesting how quickly things can change with pitchers. Yankees just optioned Luis Gil. He looked like a star after his 2024 ROY season but has started this year season a 6+ ERA. I bet Smith is still an MLB caliber pitcher but I've generally preferred Burke's potential as a top of a rotation arm. If all goes well with Schultz, Smith and McDougal (and eventually Oppor) Smith is redundant anyway.

Great game. Worth staying up 😴🥱. Hudson was a nice pickup.

oh sammy

uh oh

I think Mune Man is about to hit his first double of the year

"chases that one out of the zone" right down the middle pitch

I'm a couple blocks away from the park and the lightning is intense and constant. Postponement seems like the right idea.

2 hour delay tops.

Specifically in contact with his head since the helmet is touching his stomach while tagged. The equipment has to be in the ‘appropriate place’.

maybe O'Hare gets a direct flight to Tokyo. get it done, man on the mune.

Nasim Nuñez should've been taken by the Sox in the Rule 5 draft 2 years ago and then that never would've happened.

"the way this team is playing, you don't want anyone to get injured" this guy says the stupidest s%*#.

I wonder if Antonacci doesn't get bumped back when Hayes is back. Kelenic is hitting lately too...I wish they would just cut Benny, despite his recent game winner and generally hot bat at the leadoff spot. He seems like a nice guy, good sport with heckling, but he has no future here. There are several 'we'll see' kind of outfielders in the system that I'd rather watch over him. They might not be any good, but Hayes is a placeholder and Benintendi is...Benintendi. I wish he was better at baseball.

This is how it should have been from the start. A really stupid signing, though it was essentially chump change. The chump change can add up though. It was incredible that Romo passed through waivers, the guy is incredible defensively and his bat has never really been bad for a defense-first kinda catcher. Excited to see him on the team, though it makes me wonder what his future is when Teel is back since I believe he doesn't have any options. Could we see Quero bumped back to Charlotte if Romo is hitting? Love Quero, but he might need it, if only to rediscover some confidence at the plate. Also, public masturbation joke, fill in the blanks.
