Sox have a day off tomorrow, might as well use the entire pen.

welp

His 2025 numbers are essentially the same as Robert's career average. His arm is fine for CF.

Hicks is garbage

prior to today: if this team could only face LHP, they might have a winning record

what a fuckin bomb. got out of there quick. he's destroying these left on left matchups

that's a hit. a stupid one, but a hit.

😧

seems like we are listening to the same broadcast.

agreed, but whatever the situation, 12 of 14 pitches should not be balls.

these pitches aren't even close

my lord

throw a strike

How about a Charlotte Knight? I heard they need a new left fielder.

I suspect he’s ‘built up’ because he’s not going past 3 IP in MILB to save his innings for MLB. Both guys just started though.

Smith and McDougal also look ready for mlb.

This isn’t sad, my friend, this is awesome!!!

Yes, certainly. The offense is incredibly disappointing. Meanwhile LuBob is leading the NL in OBP.

I dunno that Taylor and Crochet are comparable either. I think I can be quoted on this forum thinking Crochet was starting caliber (back when that was a debate based on his limited innings) but I’m more skeptical about Taylor. He seems more like Mason Miller to me which is still an incredibly productive pitcher. I don’t think Taylor is taking the Sale, Crochet route of ‘building up’ to starting. Hope to be wrong though.

I worry about Taylor’s mechanical ability to deal his stuff for 100 pitches 30 times a season and I don’t have that same concern with McDougz. I think he’s either a starter or not a MLB player. But what do I know.

Totally incomparable scenario.

There are different rules for “top prospects” though which Antonacci is not.

The rules are what they are and 162 is a much larger number than 15 (or whatever). Any team would want to control a player for an extra 147 games.
