  1. That's the spirit but who are you and what have you done with Fathom ?
  2. Ober's been alternating good and bad innings but the bad innings haven't hurt him much. Got to rough him up in what should be his good inning 3rd time through.
  3. Being in a message board game thread of a terrible team is called love not hate 😂
  4. Sure did and he's looking to pull everything. No attempt t all on the off speed to hit behind the runner at 1st.
  5. They don't have enough hitting or power to get rid of either one of them. Korey Lee could be traded though. Power bats always get some interest and he's got defensive value too.
  6. Dalbec nice arm at 3rd.Can understand why he was playing some RF @ Charlotte.
  7. Larnach was running out of the line purposefully to make the throw from Quero harder and it worked. Throw was right on target but needed to be on the 2nd base side of 1st base . Larnach got away with it. Not a reviewable play even though Venable came out to argue.
  8. Stretch ! Most here were crying about last year because JR mentioned a quick turn around. It was obvious it was going to be the 1st year of a rebuild pretty early to me but apparently not to many others who apparently believed JR as if he's the beacon of truth. But, frankly ,your narrative is about as honest as JRs.
  9. Dalbec's been playing RF too in AAA which I then assume to mean he can also play LF.
  10. There are a lot of lousy hitters in baseball with their careers hanging by a thread at every position. I suppose when you pick from the bottom of the barrel you factor in things like options the most . Maybe then it's position of weakness or certain skills such as power, speed, defense, positional versatility. Since they are all bums its really easy to pick someone who doesn't perform. Making mountains out of molehills for picking the wrong bum is about the silliest thing ever and is not indicative of much of anything. This is still a rebuild .The pitching has sustained a lot of damage throughout the entire organization . What was thought a strength is all of a sudden a weakness since much of the higher end depth has gone under the knife. Seems like the Sox are paying for Robert's health with the health of every other Outfielder counted on for average production. The losses of games played on the field are not nearly as important to the future of the franchise as are the young players sidelined by injuries . There's a lot less things to follow when the loss of personnel has a trickle down effect on development and wins at nearly every level. Sox may set a record for most bodies used in a season with the way the roster has been churning.
  11. Can Drury be far behind ? Then Rojas. Sox pitching devastation is unreal throughout the system.
  12. Nice Easter Game thread ! I like the creativity and 1st road win. We need more road emojis in the titles from now on !
  13. Very impressive. He may be the Sox starting SS by opening day next year.
  14. Kanny stole 7 bases in their 14-4 win. Jordan Sprinkle stole his team leading 11th. The Cannonballers have 53 stolen bases in just 14 games.
  15. People don't become successful by quitting when things get difficult. Nor do they often get respected for it.
  16. Colson, Drury, Elko all hit hard singles. Teel lines out to CF. Montgomery doesn't tag . Ramos fly out ends inning.
  17. With Perez now having the dreaded forearm tightness and all the TJ surgeries already, I'm guessing with a long season to go that the starting pitching depth is kaput. They just want inning from him that have to be covered.
  18. This is the same post I made a week ago basically by saying being patient and looking longer means he's swinging too late to catch up to anything
  19. No Robert. I haven't looked if he was traded. I doubt it but u never know.
  20. Not close to competing but better. They are bad and inconsistent but lots of injuries too. So many TJ surgeries among the pitching depth. Amazing to me they found Shane Smith and Mike Vasil. Both pitching way beyond reasonable expectations. Knock on wood that those 2 continue to pitch well. It'll be nice to see Meidroth, Baldwin and Quero playing together. I'm sort of in the Elko camp just because I'd expect him to run into a few more HRs than Vaughn. If you're going to have a weak offense that has a few guys who can take walks you may have well have a few guys with big power hitting behind them even if they K or the hit tool isn't there. Like others have said I don't see them giving up on Vaughn this early. But I would stick him in the minors just to give Elko a shot even though that'll mean another DFA from the 40 to add him. His stats are screaming call me up while Vaughn's are screaming you should have non-tendered me but since you didn't send me down to Charlotte.
