hey he managed to walk!

2-0, pitch is a foot inside and he's swinging. This is a MLB player?

another hanger, hit hard but wrong spot.

some hittable pitches after the HR, need to take advantage.

you have got to be BLEEPING me. home plate ump should have said nah, get back in the box. was a fucking strike and it hit the pad.

that's fucking BULLSHIT

bury a breaking ball he's gone.

ooh just got under it. damn.

that was a horrific pitch. I probably could have hit that one hard half the time in my prime.

he's losing command. don't help him out.

BOOM

lol they are talking up a guy that has negative fwar over his last three seasons. MAKE IT STOP

def of effectively wild with all that horizonal movement.

lol he was just looking fastball it was a hanger John.

Just get one decent starter out of him and/or Smith. Smith seems to have regressed, Martin has improved.

lol classic yoan.

Why is Colson at DH? Doesn't make any sense. Finding ways to get Acuna and Beni as many AB as possible, classic sox.

@DoUEvenShift game thread please. i want to b**** about the lineup.

Everything from the stats profile and just watching suggests he grooves too many fastballs, maybe as he tires in the 2nd innings. Should be something that can get corrected.

Sure but it all counts and he's been one of teh worst players in baseball. I also don't see a mid 20s guy suddenly picking up the OF. Most guys that get switched there you can tell within a couple weeks if it's going to work. I give him another month or so, but tonight he's starting at SS and Montgomery is DH. Puke.

No reason to rush to trade Vargas, as of now he's still got plenty of control and is an ascending player. He also seems to be a bit of a clubhouse leader and we do need that, it helps guys in ways we don't see, and while it might not mean much, it does make coming to work a better experience and that never hurts.

Well it's one of the 2-3 best road trip destinations for them. Even the scrubs are rich enough to go enjoy the best michelin star restaurants and other night life . The key is selling the Sox within Chicago, going to be hard until JR hands over the keys.

Robert back on pace for a 1.1 fWAR season. 2nd year in a row his xwOBA is 20 points higher than his actual wOBA. Something just isn't adding up for him anymore.

Pretty good but allows too much hard contact for his stuff. baseballsavant.comGrant Taylor Stats: Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics(2026) Avg Exit Velocity: 89.6, Hard Hit %: 46.2, wOBA: .282, xwOBA: .250, Barrel %: 7.7.

He has one of the prettiest swings and we all saw it right away in spring training. When he misses it's usually because he was fooled, not because he had a bad swing path.
