colson running like he's 90 years old.

Hell yea!

Good job. He has a good fastball, needs to trust it more.

one good pitch and he's out of it, come on, fastball up stairs.

not getting any swing and misses on the slider.

colson is crazy smooth at ss, that wasn't that easy of a play.

what? guess they have angles we don't.

wow, holy s%*#. nice SB.

damn colson knows he got a cookie and missed it.

Good rip Vargas. Like that swing.

Replace stone with bacon ASAP.

Mune's eye is very good.

stone off, nice.

can you imagine how insufferable he'd get if the Sox reach .500 this month?

Hopium. 60/40 on the ESPN predictor for SD tonight. That said, it is a spectacular start to May all down the West coast. Sox might get their hitting shoes on in that nice temperate SD air and Schultz comes out firing.

Enough ai crap, the thing is he's already had TJS right? I didn't find many stories in pro pitches with a flexor strain after TJS but the few I did (including some guy on the Cubs) it's not good. It certainly doesn't indicate a healthy arm. He's going to be shut down for 3 months and there's still a decent chance he has to have some sort of surgery anyways. Sucks but what you do man, it's just luck of the draw with SP, you have to stockpile and keep churning. There isn't a single team in baseball with an elite all home grown rotation. I don't think there's even more than a handful that have 2-3 solid SP from their farm at any given time. If we get 2 out of Smith, Schultz and Tanner that's not bad at all.

everything seems to indicate he won't be traded this season, which I think we all need as Sox fans. Offseason sure, but just let us have a semi enjoyable season for once.

Ooh I like that new nesting on the reply feature. Anyways I'm autistic AF about trying to find Japanese media on him and yes the Sox do have a lot of new fans and interest in Japan. Youtube shorts has a lot of him if you search his name in Kanji. Many have said that they want to plan a trip to Chicago to see him but need a guarantee he will be in Chicago. If we had a smart owner I'd assume this would be no problem, but who knows.

He was a pretty light bat, especially relative to some of his star peers in CF during the 90s when he was in Chicago. He had his best year (7.2 bWAR!) in his early 30s in NYC. Finished with a career OPS+ of 95 but 30.2 WAR. Nearly a HOVG player and one I always enjoyed watching. I was not at all diminishing Lance by comparing him to Peters, just found the similarities interesting at age 26 in Chicago in CF.

Peters > Acuna. Peters is the all glove light bat CF that we haven't really had since oh, Lance Johnson? Interesting, in his age 26 season One Dog slashed 285/325/357 over 151 games for 2.6 bWAR and a 93 ops+ in 151 games. Peters in his age 26 season is at 273/324/318 with an ops+ of 82 and .5 bWAR. Projected over 151 games, Peters would basically be -- youngish Lance Johnson, at least for a year. That's neat. edit: who was that great white hype CF we had back circa like 2010? I remember he made several great plays defensively but couldn't hit a lick then just got hurt and fell out of MLB.

2.2% playoff odds!

let's hope for the latter. I was wrong Kay is fool's gold. Tires way too easily for a starter. Might be mildly useful as a swingman if he can pump 96 for an inning or two. maybe he can take the Leasure spot.

Whoever the scout was that recommended Colson in the draft needs a raise. He's been one of the best players in MLB since the day he came up. If he played in any other market the hype would be non stop. God, imagine him with the fucking Cubs.

His heart never seemed all the way into after the injuries, maybe he's just enjoying life peacefully. Hopefully.
