90% agree, but I'd put Robertson on Venable.

agreed. our man is lost in space to be sure. actually, I completely forgot about DeLoach. also, the duck dynasty guy is apparently named Will Robertson. another thing I forgot about.

Not good. Bad even. Saw this a couple days ago (also below), not May 1 but I guess June 15. I thought it was funny that the Sox and Mets had the same record -- then the Mets went 3-1 and the Sox 0-4 (it says 3 days ago, but I'm pretty sure it's like 3 days and 20 hours). "Fartacus" probably didn't make that post to highlight a Sox vs Mets rivalry I've made up, maybe more so that the Ugly Sox have been very good and the Giants really bad (Red Sox 3-1 and Giants have won 5 in a row however. Devers is still really good but I digress). Can't imagine the winning percentage improving from here on out, although the schedule is fairly easy. All the call-ups we expected are here, the pitching staff is depleted, guys are injured and probably being rested. Glad Tauchman finally got a day off, but where's Robertson? Rest Benintendi, never play Taylor again (he's fine but pointless), get Fletcher and Julks back up here. Give those three outfielders a shot and we have a better understanding of what to do next offseason (probably cut all of them).

Very true. I think the system is showing something but it hasn't actually translated yet. I think they won't deepsix Shirley for that reason. I like the top selections this year, but ultimately, who knows.

Why is Doval pitching?

can Korey start?

Can't wait to see this umpire scorecard. These calls have been so biased. Guy wants to go home.

ouch

The Sox have more hits than the Yankees yet the score is 10-1. WTF

I was thinking that Palette is the next guy for a call up. Not exactly good in AAA, but worth a look maybe. Still hope for Burke and Cannon. Burke was fine this season, haven't watched these Charlotte games, but maybe he and Cannon are trying new things. Altavilla is finally back so I bet he's up soon. I'd just try out all of those guys and see what happens.

Bonemer and Antonacci look really good at least. But good point. Both have been on the Sox radar for a while though, right? So can you credit Shirley with the selections?

lol I was just thinking that the baseball gods saw that post I wrote and told me to go f*** myself. It can't get any better I don't think.

Totally. Seen enough Elko.

jesus Timmy. terrible AB.

Maybe, I just can't see a team giving up a ton for a guy with a lot of question marks. Great in the minors, but only 46 innings. Injury concerns that turned him into a reliever. Not getting Leo de Vries back. His peripherals before tonight, 12.4 Ks to 3.3 walks and 0 home runs allowed suggests he's a lot better than his ERA. Pretty much what he did at AA and A+. I think he's a more valuable trade piece if he actually shows something over an extended period of time. I'd rather just keep him and see if he can eventually start.

I don't remember that. I guess he drew "interest" but it was probably for garbage. I think he's a rookie who got rushed, the stuff is there, his control is OK.

Should've made that play. Taylor's ERA balloons to 6.18. Could go higher. Think he needs to go down.

Shades of Kopech. Stuff looks great, just kind of a "thrower". Oscillating between 96 and 100 MPH doesn't seem great either.

I think it was a mistake to bring Grant up this early

this ump is a moron. backwards K turns into a walk...

It looked gone off the bat

aw yeah. why did the Yankees trade for McMahon again?

he couldn't hit a wicket. I forgot about about his brother. Guess they are both eligible to represent both PR and the Netherlands.

How could you forget Sox legend Joshua Palacios? heritage anyway

Sad. Feels like a lot of the runs against the past few games have come because of stupid plays that would've ended the threat if plays were made.
