Good for Sosa !!!!

Kelly Groin injury. Graveman and Bummer 15 pitches each yesterday.

Hung in there against a good pitcher. Bullpen was pretty good. Tough loss. Lance shaky early. Gave a quality start.

Alberto broke back on the pitch.

Colas could've bunted on a safety or suicide squeeze. He's a decent bunter.

Was really looking for Colas to have a good AB and look to get his pitch to pull.

He didn't 3rd out at 3rd and all that.

Thank you NY too close to overturn

He looked safe

NO HR Rey please.

NICE AB by SHeets facing 103 4 seamer and 100MPH spliitter

Robert !!!!!

It would be nice to actually see back to back wins. A 2 game winning streak isn't asking for much.

Out of all 30 MLB teams Hits #1 Doubles #1 TB 3# BABIP #3 SB #4 with 0 CS BA #4 .282 OBP #10 .334 SLG. #7 .434 OPS #7 .768 HR #14 RBI #5 Walks #26 ( not good) SO #16 GIDP #22 (that's good) BATTING LH PA #14 Hits #3 Doubles #7 HR #16 TB #10 BA #1 .313 OBP #5 .380 SLG. #7 .453 OPS #5 .833 Sweet Spot % TOP 4 among qualified hitters Sox Robert #12, Vaughn #58, Anderson #69, Andrus #183 Avg. Exit Velocity Moncada #74, Robert #85, Andrus #112, Anderson #154 Not many conclusions to be drawn. Maybe get our LHH's more AB or put them higher in the order.

That's easily overcome just by saying to stay at your position I agree. Players already on the field need to hold their ground and not become involved. You aren't actually sanctioning fighting. Most scrums don't happen because of a fight but words exchanged and menacing movements. There are 4 umpires who can intervene. While it might suck for players to not support a team mate, the skirmish will be over much more quickly. Most actual fights happen when a batter charges the mound. Once an automated strike zone happens, Umps can be younger and more physically able to break up fights. It's not ideal now with so many older umpires who would have to intervene in fights.

Sheets might've taken an OF assist away from Colas when he cut off that beautiful throw home yesterday against the Twins. The catcher would've had to catch it and apply the tag but the throw looked accurate. He really hasn't had a chance to throw anyone out yet . No one had tested him until then.By the end of the year I think he will have more OF assists then the other Sox OF's .

Not for an OF in his 1st year. It may go up. It's a small sample size but sprint speed isn't something that needs a big sample. For example Outman's sprint speed was 93 and Garrett's 73 if I am remembering right.

Why MLB hasn't instituted a hockey-like rule saying any player leaving the dugout during an altercation will be suspended is beyond me. Pace of play is also affected by the needless massive congregation of players out there.

The board could always use another guy who can look at the big picture like yourself without any snarkiness to him.

I think they are giving the homegrown players a chance to mature. Andrus will be here a year or even less.

I think you might've seen that 159 just for todays game 1 for 3 with a walk =159 wRC+ His overall after today is 115 wRC+

He's not really that fast . Too early to tell how his OF play will be graded. His sprint speed is only listed as 55 and if you compare his baseball savant page to Outmans, Outman's jumps off the page at you while Colas doesn't look good at all. Too early to tell really but thought I'd mention it. Colas still seems to be getting a feel for MLB so even though he's been hitting OK, nothing really stands out . He's been steady , nothing too good or too bad

OH yes Oscar Colassal ! My other rookies I wanted to get in the off season have also had nice starts James Outman and Stone Garrett. Garrett was sent down to start the season but was called back up and since has gone 7/12 with 1 HR , 2BB and 5 RBI. .4 fWAR in just 3 games . Outman 8/27, 3 HR , 7 BB, 9 RBI, 1 SB .8 fWar playing mostly CF Colas 11/36 , 1 HR, 2 BB, 4 RBI, 2 SB Outman might have a better year than Benentendi. We'll see at the end of the season that maybe my plan wasn't so bad . May end up better than Hahn. But it would've been difficult to pry Outman away from the Dodgers. He seemed to be in their plans along with other youth like Vargas Some rated rookies about the same age as Outman are still in the minors due to defense which was always why I liked the unranked Outman better. Time will tell on all of them. Garrett is already 27. My goal before the Sox signed Benintendi was to get younger more LH ,faster OFers and more team control thus freeing up the money the Sox used on Benitendi for other needs (pitching depth).I was not inclined to try to sign a 2nd baseman unless we got Andrus for cheap which the Sox did.

They sure did. Sox showing patience with a struggling pitcher and they get screwed.
