Things are looking up overall.

I mean apparently we can, we have Don Cooper and the Sox' scouting and development of pitchers? Like if they found Covey right after finding Q? That would be absurd. Not saying he'll produce 20+ fWAR over the next 5 years but man, this looks real, does it not? Gonna enjoy the ride that's for sure with Covey. He looks like a new guy.

and he finally crushes one and it's right at the CF. Oh well, at least made a good swing early in the count.

Dylan and Fry the leaders we deserve.

OK Jace gets his own thread tonight.

He gawn!

Kinda calls into question the Sox' plan with their young staff having Narvaez as the primary backup to start the year. Smith is competent defensively and any difference with Omar at the plate is nothing.

Hell yea!

Smith isn't much of a hitter but he does give a good professional AB most times.

yea give him a day off tmr.

He's thrown more good curveballs tonight then Gio has all year it seems.

Dylan Covey is currently the 5th most searched player on Fangraphs. Slotted in nicely in front of Bryce Harper.

Hopefully we look back in a couple years and see the same progress Yolmer made. Yolmer was brutal in his first couple stints.

his swing is so fucked up.

Perhaps, but Covey is going to NYY for Torres and Sevy. He'll be more pissed when Covey beats him in game 163 for the division title.

Covey is the new Q.

That fastball is just deadly to lefties. Looks like it's gonna hit their elbow then it runs right over the inside of the plate.

The exposed concrete and wiring really completes the photo. That and that bearded dude's massive gut.

Jace needs his own thread. Was looking at some of his stats today, he's been lights out. He's more than just a loogie hopefully Rickie starts treating him more like prime Matt Thornton.

Covey gets more swinging strikes than Gio. Bizarro world.

Right now he's got a bad approach with a bad swing. It's a credit to his talent that he somehow hasn't cratered out below 700 OPS yet. Can only hope he turns it around soon. I really don't want to see him with an OPS below 700 in July.

God I hate replay.

I'm done defending individual calls for Moncada. The pattern is that the kid does not protect with two strikes. It's not like he had a full count there either. Swing the fucking bat.

Right size wrong shape.

takes first pitch cock shot then takes that with two strikes. Someone needs to sit down with him and go over these at bats. The book is out on him.
