Going to see a lot of the M's shitty bullpen at this rate.

Robbing a HR that's going over the wall is a little different than fielding a routine ground ball..

YES MONCADA!

Kikuchi is rattled. Make him pay.

Shitty lazy backhand at SS, we've seen that.

Jesus, talk about running into one.

98 on the black! Sit DOWN MITCH!

Has great stuff to start. Nice changeup there.

Mariners announcers and radio crew pretty cocky. I'd love to sweep them and bring them back to reality.

Games are already running together

The division stinks that's for sure. It's too bad they blew that game against the Royals it would be nice to be 3-2 right now. I'm glad they brought Ruiz up looking at this stats last year in AA and reading some about his work this spring he should be an asset as a swing man to get to Colome and Herrera.

The lineup is fine. It's the 25 man roster that needs work.

It's early but the umps seems to be giving him more respect this year, especially on the inside corner. Moncada has a really good eye he should get the benefit of the doubt more often than not from the ump. If he doesn't have to cover an extra 3 inches inside like last year it's going to make his bat a lot quicker.

11:10 AM start here, what's it your time like 9:10 PM start? If nothing else it's nice to have only one obvious butcher in the field with Eloy. Would love to see Lopez come out at 94-96 and get some strikeouts.

If he hits and plays defense like some people think, including most of Fangraphs, his college coach and so on then he can call himself the Nick Mother Fucking Madrigal for all I care.

It's a really small thing but I also wonder why they even bothered to tender Covey a contract. He's wasting a 40 man spot now.

Good, at least Ruiz has some success in AA as a reliever posting 55K against 19 walks with only 33 hits in 45.1 innings. How'd he look this spring?

I think we're seeing the crash out and it's unfortunate we also have to see him play RF as it happens.

They are really feeling their oats in Seattle and I think they might be in for a rude awakening. The Mariners pitching staff, on paper, looks as bad or even worse than Chicago's. Chicago should be able to score some runs in this series.

Palka shouldn't be on the roster and Alonso is a solid player -- both are true. It's frustrating that once again the Sox have too many shitty DH types on the 25 man but that's not Alonso's fault as he's actually a crumulent 1B/DH.

Some cool things are happening offensively and Rodon, Gio and Nova have all looked pretty good. That said the defense will continue to be god awful and the bullpen + ricky is like bleach and ammonia anarchist cookbook shit explosive. It's been entertaining so far, I'll give them that.

I'm with you there. But we've been over it and now they are playing with what they have which is probably about 75 win talent.

they're 2-3, slow down a bit.

Rick Hahn's "progress isn't always linear" echoing around the office today no doubt. I'm half surprised Jason didn't manage to get the talking point in. https://theathletic.com/904426/2019/04/03/yoan-moncada-carlos-rodon-show-more-balanced-approach-in-cleveland/?redirected=1

it's a bit strange in that he did have good command despite being at 88-89. Maybe he's going through the dreaded "dead arm" phase a few weeks later than planned but I'd be scared shitless if I was a Sawx fan.
