Duke Ellis I believe.

It's pretty bad but did Vargas bobble it or not able to get a grip on it and also fall to his knees. A clean play and they get the out at home. Rojas could've been put in as a defensive replacement in the 9th especially if they think Rojas is the better 3rd baseman.

Too Leasurely

Booser beast mode !

My broth extends his hit streak to 12 .🏹

Nice DP ! Now pad the lead ?

Without making a big deal out of it there's 2 reasons to give veterans 1 year deals when you're bad. 1. Your youngsters aren't ready. 2. Trade them. Don't know who will end up traded or unceremoniously dumped but Colson 's setback was major. The highs and lows have to be less dramatic. You're looking for consistency and a major part of consistency is time. He could have an 0 for 15 slump in a week you'd like to see him bounce back from strongly. He needs the confidence that comes from longer stretches of excellence than a month. A lot of the vets Getz hoped to trade have been injured. Now they're not. A few extra arms at the TDL won't hurt the organization devastated by all the pitching injuries. And Colson showing some consistency of excellence won't hurt either.

There's no hurry though.He didn't do well all of last year and so bad this year that his star had dimmed quite a bit. He and everyone else has to be sure it's not just a hot streak. He could convince all the doubters by continuing on a run for all of June. Maybe then if there's an injury or an early trade sure. I would think if he's still in the minors through July that's even more time to see if he can maintain the good hitting. There should definitely be space for him on the Sox 26 by then. No need to force things. Let it play out.

It's not helping the rest of the staff though if they are pitching position players .

My guess is August after the trade deadline. Let him settle in for a few months with the things him and Fuller worked on. It might not always be smooth sailing . I could be wrong with Getz wanting LH pop but I'd rather make sure he's 100 % ready . Getz needs to find more pitching .All the injuries are already taking a toll on organizational depth and May isn't over yet. Long long way to go.

Good, nice find .

Even though he hit 2 HR last night Colson still has a lot to prove. He's going to have to maintain a heater for a while to get some action after the trade deadline.

I call it Venable's " I Miss Vaughn" lineup. He just had to put in 2 guys batting under .200

Video or are you just talking about the praying hands bow he does ?

Mai Tai with an 11 game hit streak. Robert liked playing in the sunshine today. Nice job by Wilson in the emergency start. Great job by Vasil in relief. Sosa just missed a granny and settled for the 3 run double high off the LF wall. Palacios got almost instant redemption after he dropped a routine fly ball by smashing a 2 run HR his next time up .

We did ! Now have a chance to sweep.

Good news Plesac's a very likable guy and a bit goofy so perfect 🙂

Teel extended his on base streak to 30 games. Needs a hit still to extend the 18 game hit streak.

Pulling wins out of your behind for the Monster May ( for the Sox) just like I entrusted you to do in the beginning of the month game thread ! 💪⚾ Flex appeal !

Dance as if no one is watching for Mike Tauchman. Loosen up ! Tauch Tauch Tauch Tauch, All you do to me is Tauch Tauch !!

Winnah winnah chicken dinnah !! 🍗🍗🍗

Tauch Tauch All you do to me is Tauch Tauch !!

Let's hear it for Vasil !

He does remind me of Pete Rose. Rose was a SS 2B guy to start. Takes walks. Close to the same build. Same type flying locks. Contact hitter, plays hard.
