play for 1 run you'll get one (or none). puke.

SO STUPID! Fireable fucking offense imo, hopefully Hahn is watching and pissed. There's more leverage than the trailing runner down 1 in the 8th...come on ricky, THINK.

we're going to bunt, aren't we?

what fucking era are we in, 1910s? God damn man. I mean it worked out I guess but fuck.

why the fuck are you taking matt out? how stupid is ricky, dude, wtf.

That's a great piece of hitting by Matt.

Wow, he beat it out.

just tuned in, looks like Lopez battled and didn't walk anybody, 9 hits, only 3K but that's a quality start over six innings, three runs.

I'm stuck in traffic moved 6 blocks in 30 minutes. Kinda sick of the this city.

Says the IG thot avatar guy.

He's produced about 2 fWAR in 3/4 of a season at the MLB level, most of that before he turned 23. Yea I'd prefer he had a better last month but this is far from a situation like Viciedo or even Avi, where a guy is entering his third or fourth pro season and is still hovering around replacement level. It's stupid but we really just need to be patient and stop trying to evaluate on a night by night basis. I am guilty of this myself.

Fortunes rise and fall with young toolsy guys in MLB. Look at Sano, who coming off a 2.3 fWAR season (wRC+ 124) is now being sent down to A ball to work himself out. What has been shown to us in a 1/3 of a seasonmay be far from what we see this time next year. I'd give these guys a 2-3 year sample before concluding too much either way.

You can see why the Cubs took the opportunity to upgrade with Maddon. Ricky is a really bad day to day tactical manager. I'd love to see Girardi next year.

I could be wrong but it seems like whenever he starts to get into a good rhythm on the mound he has an injury setback. It would be really nice if he could just make every start the rest of the year. He needs experience even though he's now in his 4th year.

I turned on the Open, is he still struggling with arm side fastball command? A lot of misses out and away to righties?

Getting flashbacks to last spring with Rodon. Can't make consecutive starts without problems.

Garland's main value was pitching around 210 innings every year with an ERA+ around 100. Garland had a nice career but Covey, at least in theory, would be better on a per inning basis, if not capable of throwing 210 innings every year.

Interesting tidbit from the Fangraphs rankings. Mize, the #1 overall pick, would slot in 4TH in Chicago's system. That's crazy. He'd barely be ahead of Madrigal for 5th.

How many Sox prospects have we seen come up and absolutely crater, produce negative WAR in their first couple seasons? A lot. It's a testament to Yoan's talent that even though he's absolutely scuffling he's still 2nd on the team in fWAR for position players. That said, he needs a day off and some work in the cage.

His arm and instincts on double plays are by far his best defensive assets. Overall he remains well below average 1B defensively.

The Sox are now 7-5 in June.

YOAN GETS THE JOB DONE! GOOD JOB KID!

fuck you gotta be bleeping me.

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.
