Listened to Antonetti interview today. Talked extensively about guys like Gimenez and McKenzie who struggled mightily, went to the minors last year, and worked super hard on improving and learning from failure. Same thing with Naylor returning from catastrophic injury, Kwan taking huge strides and Miller becoming a regular after huge struggles in 2021 as well. Maximizing their talents…following an individualized improvement plan designed specifically for each player by the front office. Rosario yet another. Reyes basically the only player to go backwards, and he’s a veteran who simply can’t catch up to fastballs and has been in-between all year long. Noteworthy they taught team important lesson by going with rookie Oscar Gonzalez instead…sent Reyes to AAA. Accountability and also letting players know the guy who’s getting the job done will get the playing time regardless of previous major league track record.

Hosmer ended up being about 1/2 subsidized, two Tier B/C prospects going along with him and Buddy Groome swapped to SD where he’s now #11.

Josh Harrison needs a cool new nickname, Hawk. Although Big Energy isn’t bad. Plus that’s either Andre Dawson or Hershey Hawkins. Or Connie Hawkins.

Tell us again, Hawkeroo…

Michael Fulmer in against former team. Didn't have to travel more than 100 yards to opposite clubhouse.

Easily if the play isn't noticed by ump or appealed by opponent.

What are you doing Wegner? Late scratch like Sheets. This should be a short 20-30 minute delay. Winds are playing havoc with tarp unrolling.

Massey with huge cheering section today. Reminiscing about $7 cheap seats in 2005 season lol.

Looks like really rough weather, including hail, coming. Then could be another delay later.

Nobody would gave predicted Twins and Guardians would be in for battles today either. Well, CLE just went up 4-0. Minny 2-1 into 6th.

Not if it's not reviewed or move on to the next baseball play.

Lynn hitting his spots. Singer not so much. 4 k's through 2.

Interesting twist. Hosmer first trip to KC with Red Sox this weekend since he left as a FA to SD.

Moncada finally up near a 600 ops. 206.

But normal amount during hot stretch closer to 12-15 changes...

Barely beat him to bag.

Big difference is Singer has much more confidence in his third pitch...change up. Great response by Sox offense right off the bat.

Big difference in who decides to start versus continue a game...umpires and home team grounds crew.

Where was he going with his lack of speed? Sharply hit grounder right to LFer.

Vaughn up to 298 and Jimenez 9 game hitting streak.

Great, our bullpen will surely win it after an extended delay...this season sheesh.

Lynn seems more amped up for this one.

Amazing, four players converging in short LCF and they communicated quite well with each other in CLE, no near collisions. Perfectly played.

Counterintuive, especially with Sox home record and Lynn's struggled upon return.
