A lot of good points here, but I also think a lot of people struggle with the concept of a maturity curve for young players (see Robert, Vaughn, etc). Yes, some guys come up and light the world on fire, but most young players take time before they hit their stride. The reality is outside of an elite ability to make contact, we don’t know what Nick will look like as a finished player. He almost certainly will never hit for 15 to 20 HRs like some speculated at time of draft, but the defense, base-running, and basic gap power remain TBD. I think he eventually improves in all three areas, but how much will determine whether he’s a second division starter or a non-flashy but plenty valuable ~3 win player. It’s totally fair to be disappointed with him so far and in particular for passing on guys like Kelenic to select him, but it’s way too early to draw too hard of conclusions on the bulk of his game.

Terrible April guy

Exactly...I’ll be much more concerned if the ship hasn’t been righted by mid May.

They should probably just retire

Eloy might have actually died on that Vaughn play

What happened?

Cy Civale just working the offense today.

Need more than one run with our best offense out there.

Way to fucking jinx that

Feels so fucking good to have Tim back!

Best lineup all year?

I think Collins caught Lynn’s first start while Grandal caught the shut-out.
-
How about COLLINS for catching this game?

First gamethread of the year without fathom making a single post and the Sox score 8 runs and no hit the opposition. ? Mods - I think you know what needs to be done!

Nick Madrigal, Jared Kelley, Jonathan Stiever, & Gavin Sheets for Ketel Marte & Kole Calhoun. MLBTradevalues says it might work ? But seriously, imagine this lineup against RHP: Anderson, SS Moncada, 3B# Abreu, 1B Marte, 2B# Mercedes, DH Calhoun, LF* Grandal, C# Robert, CF Eaton, RF*
