Man I was flipping through some old drafts last night and the Sox have drafted pretty damn well outside of Vaughn and maybe that was more on the development side anyways. We've gotten more studs out of the first round than 2/3 of the teams in the last 6 or so years. In 20 and 21 after whiffing on Vaughn they got Garrett and Colson as their FRP and both guys are absolute studs. Then they got Noah in 23 and Gonzo in 24. Even Gonzo is looking like he might be a useful player now. Really great top of the draft picks whatever else Hahn was doing he had a good draft method going.

Warmer weather will certainly help. Everything feels a bit better in a 75 degree humid day than a 55 degree one.

Good call. They have a 87 wRC+ in May so far. Def slumping a bit. Maybe we caught them at the right time with the weather heating up and big crowds at our place this weekend.

Any update on Sam? Hope he just tweaked his calf a bit or had a cramp and avoids a two week IL stint.

They will want to see how his leg and body responds to back to back games catching I'd think. He missed pretty much 90% of spring conditioning as well so I would also think they want him running the bases in anger a bit and throwing as well. Maybe he's back next weekend.

Acuna is fine as the backup at both SS/CF. We have a pretty god damn good thing going here. As you said replacing Beni with someone should be done sooner rather than later.

really smart decision to go with kay against the royals in hindsight, so good job sox.

good job mods nice to have to merge threads again excitement is high.

Got a lot of key hits tonight. Kay did excellent to go 6+, pen did enough. Defense did enough. Offense did enough. This series Sox def looked like the better overall team. More dangerous at bats.

apparently he's weston mckennie genes, lol.

sam is hurt, f***.

great job.

great fucking play chase, wow. what a stupid play by newcomb.

Great footwork Mune.

Good lord.

I'd go to Taylor on the 7th.

I will give quero this at times his framing is elite, and that does still help.

f*** yea.

this ump is a breath of fresh air after last night.

lol salvie was so slow to get up there.

f*** YEA

just get quero out of here next week.

YES! YES! YES!

great piece of hitting.
