don't blow this before Moncada gets another AB, boys.

QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 11:34 PM) Best thing about Moncada so far is no strikeouts in his first 7 ABs. Maybe he is more interested and concentrating more in the majors than in AAA. for sure.

moncada rolled over on that one.

Is Moncada up yet?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 10:40 PM) Solid play by Anderson. (Is that allowed)? We'll make an exception for authority figures.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 10:38 PM) You can always tell if the Sox are doing poorly sice those games result in the largest number of posts...................... bruh, moncada's bases clearing triple was good for a page by itself. Tanking isn't nearly as painful as I imagined. You bank the losses the take the f***ing #1 prospect in baseball viewing time.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 10:30 PM) It seems line Moncada goes down 0-2 in the count in the first 2 pitches of every at bat. he was 2-0 his first ab tonight.

This kid can run, but his swing from the right side is noticeably slower and less fluid.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 10:21 PM) Didn't shields used to be actually good at one point? Like an ace for the Rays? How has he become so horrible? father time is still undefeated.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) Looking like Moncada will lead off the next inning with his team trailing the perfect rebuild, lol

Lopez done, 6 innings, 1 ER, 6K, 1BB, 2H, time for him to take somebody's place in the rotation he's ready to start getting his feet wet in MLB.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 09:36 PM) Scott Merkin‏Verified account @scottmerkin Moncada went home to 3rd in 11.24 seconds and had a sprint speed of 30.0 feet per second per Statcast jesus.

speaking of the the f***ing devil, christ TA.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) Hell yes...my god is he fast watching him run in spring was pretty amazing, he had a triple in one of the games I was at. I think he's faster than Anderson, easily.

MONCADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just f***ing DFA Shields and bring up Lopez.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) That was a veteran pitcher jamming a rookie, but great base running by Avi got the RBI Yea you know Yoan was thinking 2-0, here comes fastball, rbi time, pitcher did a good job hitting his spot, he leaves it up over the plate maybe it's a HR.

lost year for TA so far, fml.

Good job working the count and getting an RBI, was surprised he didn't hit that ball harder, got in on him somewhat.

they are leveraging Don Cooper. Good.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 05:46 PM) Cheer for good performances in the minors. Kopech was great last night going 8 scoreless innings with 0 walks. Burger was 5-5 with a triple and two doubles. Jimenez was 3-5 with 2 doubles and a homer. Collins homered. Imagine how bad this rebuild would be if our farm system were not where it is right now? Starting from scratch would be absolutely awful. Yea for sure was actually adding that to my post while you were replying!

Personally I think this year will be the worst just because next year you're going to see the fruits of the rebuild start to blossom in both the upper minors and MLB roster. This year, other than probably Moncada and Lopez late this summer, and some fun from Leury and Yolmer and Kahnle earlier, there really hasn't been much to cheer for. But 100% honest, I thought I'd be over following this team by now and instead I'm finding myself paying more attention than any of the previous last summers, even when the Sox were still hanging around .500. It's just really exciting what Hahn has been able to do. If the Sox hadn't managed to load up on all this young talent it would be different, but man, they are loaded. We'll see how it pans out in the next 3-5 years.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 04:19 PM) Any word on Tito Polo? can't find him.

Eloy highlights: https://twitter.com/bhallwfmy/status/888216258616983552 Kid has a huge frame, wow. He might have some issues with off speed stuff due to his longish load but then again his pitch recognition skills and zone command are evident in his slash line. Sox should let him get a taste of AA in August if keeps this up.
