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.

Memorable moment of the game: tanner Murray got a hit. Ok.

I thought it was 15 games into the season, but I don’t really know.

Imagine scoring a run. I cannot.

Chase “Chase” Meidroth.

Fedde Wop

Benintendi looked mad he got called off that flyout. Probably his ball but he can’t be trusted.

Who’s to say they don’t move the team?

🥱

You know how the longer a discussion goes on, the probability increases that it will inevitably turn into a discussion about Hitler? Soxtalk is kinda like that except Getz is Hitler and it doesn’t take very long.

ez win

Jac is annoying.

He started 2025 with an high walk rate (17%) but wasn't hitting the ball. Clearly something he's been working on.

the defending AL champs are cycling through guys the Sox cut in spring lol

Bout time

Hicks more like Sucks

I dunno the stats but this lineup seems to destroy LHP and this is the first left-handed starter they’ve faced.

A surprise to no one.

To be fair, he's 2-9 with 5 walks and a 1.000 OPS. If his first AB tonight is a hit, suddenly he's batting .300 and is hitting well. Calling him up from AA right now would be a mistake, but it's such a small sample size. 5 Ks is troubling but 33% K rate is not the end of the world either especially when he's expected to strikeout and his MILB average was 25% last year.
