I'd like to see this lineup quite a bit, with Tauchman at DH: Tauchman, Chase, Robert, Beni, Vargas, Sosa, Colson, Baldwin, Teel/Quero Let Sosa work in at 1B as long as mentally he's ready. It won't hurt to get him ready for a long term utility role if his bat has peaked around league average, that's a decent utility guy. Let Vargas just get every chance to swing or swim over at 3B the rest of the way. Let Baldwin work in for Tauchman and Beni so they can try and stay healthy for any trade value. We need to eat money and get Beni off this roster.

decent game tonight. he's playing a very good SS. How come we never really got a scouting report on that at charlotte? sorta odd imo. you'd think someone would have seen him and saw him more than holding his own. maybe the sox decided to walk quietly here which if so not bad -- he's clearly not overwhelmed defensively. If anything he plays up to the speed at the MLB level.

damn unlucky

f*** BUCKNER

Chase is having a horrible inning.

WOW

he just called one worse for jays too

the strike zone is insane.

you can only laugh at this point.

nice, great baserunning!

Colson is a stud, I've seen enough. even if he doesn't hit at all like 220 he can do 220/300/430 and play a solid SS for 4 WAR.

sosa showing improved discipline and the umps fucking him.

nice we had that luck coming after yesterday's babip.

Nice play Rojas, if that's your last memory, cheers.

sosa doesn't make that play, we have a pretty decent IF now.

that didn't take long.

Thank god the wind isn't blowing more. Nice play by Baldwin had it the entire time with a high sky.

ROBOTS. oh f*** it's buckner, god damnit.

They've been playing better but man we should be competitive this series.

I stand corrected. Looking at his metrics he's gotten a bit lucky with home run rate, velo is down a bit but that might be a result of going deeper into games.

He's been perhaps just mildly disappointing for them? Like he's been good, but not quite great. We'll see how he holds up in the 2nd half.

honestly i hope he sucks. nothing personal, I just don't like him.

He's a quick twitch type at his size but not a burner. Prolly tops out around a 40th percentile spring speed while still having above average overall athleticism relative to MLB. He's made all the plays so far at SS I'd think he can at least stick there until he's 29 or so. Really promising start. The stuff at the plate yea but also he's clearly pretty capable as a SS. Uses his length well, seems to get a lot of good hops. Arm is more than strong enough if not pin point accurate.

Worse RD than the Sox with 2x the talent on paper.

If the 1B gets PH for the C you don't need the 1B on the roster.
