4-3 the 1st week of June.

Had 10 wins in May by the 24th but finished 1-5.

I think we got 11 in May

Doogie is also a member of the Cherokee Nation.

Because they love Sox fans and miss them terribly when they are on the road .

And Houser 4 straight quality starts since they brought him aboard. 2-1 , 1.48 ERA, 24.1 IP, 20K, 1.03 WHIP.

Meidroth HR too !

Just another GWRBI for Elko and the rooks drove in all the runs. 6 straight shut out innings by the relief pitchers these 2 games .Won 4 of last 5.

Hell yea ! Been a while since the Sox got some wins against KC !

All rookies RBI

Aww Salvy K'd again. Too bad so sad 😂

Elko 1st career 2 hit game !

Maybe should get a full physical and blood work ?

And I'm good with that 🙂

No reason to trade Martin when he's got a lot of control left. He's just hitting his stride as a pitcher.

Helluva game Houser !! Have a beer.

Royals crying bout something.

Pasquatch

My oh my oh Meidroth !!

Hi I'm Cali and I'm an Elkoholic

While I am in favor of Colson getting more minor league at bats now and for at least another month or so , the C. Montgomery the Sox envision is needed very badly . They need power and another guy who knows how to take a walk while providing adequate defense be it at 3rd or SS. The Sox would be fine with the ideal version of Colson at SS and Meidroth at 2nd for a long term solution. While I have stuck up for Sosa this year he does not fit the ideal vision of high OBP the Sox have . But there is no hurry to get Colson in the lineup right now since he keeps getting hit by pitches and missing games. He still has to show that the things he and Fuller accomplished in his Arizona hiatus will stick.

Thank you and it's the RH Wacha . So our lefties are Palacios, Teel, Quero, Rojas, Benintendi Tauchman. Most of them played last night along with RHs Robert, Vargas Meidroth and Elko. I'm curious to see how many of the guys who played last night are in the lineup . Some, of course, have to be. Meidroth and Vargas are 2 who didn't hit well yesterday. Maybe Teel plays 1st base and Elko sits.

I haven't looked to see which arm the Royals pitcher throws with today but a day game after a night game usually means Teel wouldn't be catching today. Could he play 1st base today ? You never know. Or Teel could DH with Quero catching.

That clueless guy brought in a pitching coach and a hitting coach who seem to have a clue on how to help pitchers and hitters. He also has 3 guys in the lineup he traded for with Meidroth , Teel and Vargas. He also has a pitcher who could be the Sox All Star game representation who he took with the 1st pick in the Rule 5 draft and traded for another Rule 5 guy who is their best relief pitcher so far and eats up valuable innings which helps immensely. Smith and Vasil have been very valuable in their roles. They became instant major league pitchers who we couldn't even worry about how they were doing in the minors. How often does that happen ? Before the Rule 5 draft a lot Soxtalk posters took their shot at who the Sox should pick up in the Rule 5. I don't think a single one suggested Shane Smith or Mike Vasil. He also got Vasil from Tampa Bay who we usually talk about having such good people that us fans are always saying don't trade with them. They'll fleece us. It's easy for fans to throw around names like Canario and Workman and make fun of the no names that the Sox churn through between AAA and the majors like Capra, Amaya ,Palacios, Cusick, Jones, Maton , Murfee, McKendry, Gomez, Altavilla, Castro, Ellard, Gilbert, Max Roberts, Jake Curtis, Tommy Sheehan etc. But that's the process you go through in a rebuild to come up with a guy like Adrian Houser who actually helps. Sure,chances are you can mention it's a shame Gage Workman didn't work out . But It's not like he's become a MLB All Star. You either show something quick since he was another Rule 5 or you're gone. He wet the bed .Oh well. There are some people here who talk about these minor things endlessly but barely acknowledge Smith, Vasil or Houser or need a good 6 months from Vargas to be convinced he's turned it around yet will cry about Workman because after he left he's had an . 825 OPS in 16 games in the minors. Hell if we didn't see Amaya hit in the major with our own eyes and he was a guy like Workman someone would be crying about his 1.300 OPS and .500 BA in 25 minor league AB as proof that our GM can't judge talent. There's not a lot to be happy about but there's also a lot of molehills being turned into big talking points that actually mean very little.
