Nice! Defense! Youth!

lopez in the groove now.

some talent.

how did he hit that, ffs.

talk about your quick bats tonight, lindor and moncada, woof.

wow get in the weight room bruh.

that direcTV MLB.tv ad is what, about 5x the games volume? How obnoxious.

Tilson does a great job calling the ball and taking charge in CF.

why throw an 1-0 change? Jeeze.

Jesus christ he has no idea where it's going.

BEEF!. I'm cool with a strict platoon the rest of the way at C.

that's boring AF. I'm not here for an echo chamber. That's SSS, or was at least under Jim.

on his surgically repaired elbow. Reminds me a lot of Noah's famed "cleanup" on his surgically repaired knee that effectively ended his career as a starter. Not good.

coming off shoulder and tommy john? He'll be a reliever at his next stop and the loogy rule is going into effect. Over under on MLB innings rest of his career is probably 200.

Jesus, is Adolfo having TJS again? If so that is incredible and wouldn't it point to incompetence in his rehab procedure?

@ptatc can provide more insight but his delivery doesn't help either. Seems like gets very little leg drive and finishes high arm side constantly.

Well duh. Just move on from him in the offseason. Too bad it didn't work out. Was hyped beyond belief on Rodon when the Sox picked him.

Because context matters. In counting RBIs and valuing players. He's aging, is out of contract, and is in decline. Furthermore the Sox have 2-3 guys right now that look more like DH/1B types than legit fielders. Need to clear up a spot for Eloy and Collins to play some DH and 1B.

Why would he be mad? He got paid to be a recruiter not a ball player. If he gets cut he can go sign on anywhere and the Sox are on the hook for his remaining 5 million or whatever.

Down to a wRC+ of 127. Zips projects 117 RoS. Please just trade him while he has some value. Should be able to get a B- prospect for him at the deadline.

Alonso has a poison pill with his vesting option. The Sox should just DFA him in June and bring up Collins.

Used to see them around down in spring training (DIII but we played Juco teams and such) and a few of our pitchers like to throw one a bit on their off days. Always at way less than max effort though and usually only around 20-40 feet.

If you play to score one run, you'll score one run. Just an absolutely clueless strategy to be bunting of any sort -- sac or squeeze -- in anything other than a one run game late. Eh, it's a discrete game. You got outs, the score, and literally tens of thousands of data points with the same variables. Sure the "computer doesn't know" that the third baseman stinks or that the guy at the plate can't bunt to save his life but that stuff doesn't really matter for the most part. And that said, Rickie is not the manager to out think the odds.

Awesome to finally be seeing some green shoots from the rebuild. Let's get eloy and cease up here and see what happens this summer!

nice to see some confident pitching from the pen, even against a bad Jays lineup.
