Yes was scheduled today
-
Impressive barrel control by Eloy in his first at bat
-
highest exit velocity in baseball (we've heard that before). Thing that impresses me the most is his defense at 3rd is absolutely incredible.
-
It's really too bad they're not giving Hamilton a chance to close at the major league level.
-
51% hit probability
-
One thing to keep in mind is that he's had something like 6 or 7 runs added on to his total this year because of horribly blown strike 3 calls not being made. The start in Texas is the perfect representation of that. If I didn't know any of the stats, I would say he's looked like a 3 to 3.25 ERA pitcher this year.
-
Rodon really being a workhorse is impressive and unexpected.
-
Sorry, that doesn't cause a hole in your bat. Yes he's been screwed a lot on pitches, but how about not falling behind in the count so quickly every at bat by not having a solid plan at the plate. The kid has had every excuse in the world made for him this year. His hit tool is just flat out awful.
-
Pulls off some more pitches for another swinging strikeout. This is rock bottom for him.
-
From what I see just on TV, Jose seems to go out of his way to encourage Yoan.
-
to be fair, post ASB, Yoan is 151/275/279
-
I do question how healthy Anderson is, so he'll get the benefit of the doubt with that. At this point though, Steverson better be fired the day after the season ends, and Ricky should be right behind as he's the one who's supposed to be helping with development of these guys.

Welcome to the dark side
-
If the minor league season was longer, I'd say it's getting close to demotion time. It's so disappointing to see how much worse he is as a hitter now compared to when he came up last season.
-
Another great exhibit of how badly he's pulling off the ball. If it's not inner half, he has absolutely no chance. That was the 3 worst swings he's had in an at bat this year. Keep up the great work Yoan and Steverson.
-
Nice race to get to 100 RBI
-
He typically does a good job of keeping the ball fair down the line
-
Was actually an inside slider. Good pitch for him to hit given his swing path. Just missed double.
-
Smith isn't really hitting though
-
Yoan missed that low changeup by a foot
-
Nice to see the Sox valuing defense as always
-
Madrigal has incredible range at 2nd (and you all know how I'm not his biggest fan)
-
As a closer, I think Lopez could hit 100. If you go back and watch his first inning with the Sox when he was amped up, his fastball was electric.
-
Whenever I watch Sheets, it seems he isn't even trying to loft the ball. If it's a sinker, he just pounds it into the ground. To my eyes, his swing needs a total overhaul if he wants to stay a prospect the next few years.
-
So Covey is our "opener" and Giolito takes over in the 2nd?
