Booooo

Tulane will play a DH tomorrow. I imagine Hoese will hit 2-3 bombs.

Drey Jameson pitched 5 IP today (rain) and allowed 0 R on 1 H, 2 BB, and 9 K vs. Miami (OH). That puts his season total at 89 Ks in 57 IP with 20 BB and 46 H.

I can't find my post about it a while ago, but Andrew Vaughn in 2018 was the first college player since Anthony Rendon in 2010 to have more HR than strikeouts in a season. Vaughn won't even come close to that this year as he only has 10 HR (2 in the last 30 days) and 23 K's. So far, Kody Hoese is the only college player who is doing it so far this season with 19 HR to 17 K. Jim Callis mentioned he might even end up having his DOUBLES pass that K number, as he has 13 2B right now. You can follow that compelling race, here - http://www.thebaseballcube.com/college/stats.asp?Q=Y&Report=Batting&Y1=2019&Y2=2019&minPA=&Player=&Sort=HR&Conf=&School=&Bat=&Conditions=

I wonder if Kody Hoese is playing himself out of consideration at #45 for the Sox. He is a local kid from Griffith, IN who is now at Tulane and leading the country in HRs. He's up to 19 dingers, .409 AVG, and only 17 K's to go along with 25 BB and 13 2Bs. My cousin knows him from HS and told me about him a few weeks ago, but I also heard Jim Callis mention him on the latest MLB Pipeline podcast as someone who he feels is a RD 1 or RD 2 type guy, but he thinks even saying RD2 might be underselling him giving his soaring stock. And I guess it's not just power, he's a great overall hitter with a great approach and swing and I think Callis said he should be able to stick at 3B. Comparing his numbers to Hunter Bishop, for reference, he is hitting .409 to Bishop's .394, has 2 more HR, and is striking out nearly half as often (29 K for Bishop, 17 for Hoese). Could be the 2nd best 3B in the country. Wonder if he will be there at #45, but he might be a name to watch.

Juan Soto was also a part of a Nats team that was good and needed the boost. Robert soaring through the minors would make the Sox better and give them a boost. But a boost to what, 77 wins? No point. Under no realistic circumstance so I want to see Luis Robert in Chicago in 2019. Save that service time, call him up next April. At least there won't be backlash about it considering he started 2019 in A-ball.

Fuck I forgot to record this. Only catching the 2nd half of the episode now. I love Jeopardy!. I just to record it until it absolutely dominated my DVR and I couldn't keep up.

Ok ok, so I had seen 2 episodes way back in an earlier season where some blind kid was controlling ghost wolves with his mind. Was that Bran? Maybe he wasn't blind, but his eyes were completely white in that scene. The actor who plays Bran was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and Jimmy brought up the fan theory of him being the Night King, so I guess it's a pretty popular theory and the guy at work isn't as clever as I thought.

The trailer for Jedi: Fallen Order looks great. Man, the work they do to map Cameron Monaghan in to the game is pretty incredible. He's so easily recognizable to those of us who watch Shameless and probably even Gotham.

Hey man, a guy at work who watches the show says he thinks the wheel chair kid is going to win it all too because he thinks he is actually the white walker king. Said he could time travel, which I don't really understand how time traveling allows for him to shape-shift, but he was pretty excited about the theory so I just nodded.

I thought the big reveal was that Jon Snow and the chick he was kissing who rides dragons were actually brother and sister? They are aunt and nephew?

I have watched 2 episodes ever, and I didn't like it. The show is just not my style. But my girlfriend loves the series, so she made me watch tonight's episode with her. I hope that wheel chair kid wins the thrown, and I hope that Jon Snow dies for being a sister-fucker.

I'm excited that Abrams is back. I really loved TFA, and I really hated TLJ. Kind of don't get a shit if he picks up with what he was trying to do with TFA and tells Rian Johnson's TLJ storylines to go fuck themselves.

Collins was in the dugout for at least an hour tonight holding a bat and slowly swinging and visualizing his ABs. I was just waiting for him to be announced as the PH. Never happened.

Because then...*checks notes*...DJ Peterson wouldn't get the ABs he needs to prove himself.

No Collins tonight..... This shit happens to me every damn time I come down to Indy for this series. Sigh.

Congrats!

MLB Pipeline on their latest podcast did a mock top 10. They had the Royals taking Witt Jr and the Sox taking Vaughn. They cited the fact that the Royals just drafted Pratto with their 1st RD pick in 2017 as well as their love for athleticism as reasons for them taking Witt Jr.

I'll be at the Knights games the next 2 nights, sitting directly above home plate. I'll be tweeting any relevant video and commentary.

If we can't get a nearly NHL-ready guy at #3, then I hope they trade the pick for a top 4 D-man. Hawks are playing with house money from this lottery and NEED to use this window of Kane/Toews/Keith/Crawford.

I'm with ya. People can joke all they want, but $500K means he has actual talent. I would like to think they wouldn't throw $500K at him if this was just a strictly "he's got lineage" play.

Hawks have the 12th pick right now. Lottery is tonight at 7 pm. They have a 2.5% chance at the #1 pick.

LittleHurt, Southsider2k5, and I have all been talking about Disneyland, not World.

I was there. First time I've mingled among SoxTwitter people, so it was cool meeting the SoxOn35th guys and the 108 guys and some others that I recognized as their twitter handles. Kind of funny how most people just stare at you until you say your Twitter/online handle and then they are like "Ooooh, I've seen you!". It's a strange concept. It was a really solid day of tailgating and drinking though. And since I don't drink much since college, I did get myself pretty toasty before the game, so I really couldn't remember much about Eloy's 1st AB. But as I sobered up and the game went on, the crowd did stand out. But, of course it was the Home Opener. Let's see how the crowd is 2 weeks from now on a Tuesday game if this team is still sitting at .500 or above.

Land. California.
