Trea Turner has been unreal in bracket play.

I must have missed Jose Abreu playing for Cuba in the WBC where the announcers were lauding Moncada for his defense. Especially one play where the PBP guy goes "it'll be tricky to get Turner on this" and Yoan guns him down by 4 steps.

After listening to Vinnie Dumber provide context from Pedro saying that the players would be playing if it weren't spring training, I find myself just hoping that Yoan, Eloy and Vaughn feel better soon since they can take rest right now. Especially after Yoan dominated the WBC and Eloy played exceptional in his own right.

If we're doing his whole tenure with the team, last year was his first missing significant time. 2018: 149 games 2019: 132 games (give or take this one) 2020: 52 games 2021: 144 games 2022: 104 games

This would be the easiest grievance case ever if he was held down for two weeks to "work on some stuff" the magically called up. Sox: "What evidence do you have that we planned on calling Colas up early in the season?" Colas' Agent: "You put up a banner of him in March. Near the stadium in Chicago. Wearing a Sox uniform."

I think it was on Reddit where someone said that the dude suffers from LeBronitis. He grimaces after fucking everything. Some people are like Abreu and Paulie who play through everything. Then you have dudes who look like they're in constant pain. But I just enjoy posters saying "he's not hurt" and then it coming back that he has a bruised rib. If you have a bruised rib, yeah, you're probably gonna be down for a minute to catch your breath.

We really needed insight into area codes on the scoreboard from John Smoltz. My wife (who doesn't follow baseball) listens to games in the background while I'm watching and she appreciates Jason and Steve's attempts to fill dead space vs. John "I'm not a music guy" Smoltz.

Moncada: Gets a bruised rib. Iron men of SoxTalk: Wuss.

I guess the update is that Yoan is alive?

Yoan got hurt because of another Haseley/Mendick scenario. Please be OK.

Turner is having himself a game.

So they have Oscar Colas banners up in Chicago.

Yoan just made a sweet play to get Turner.

Maybe he's hoping Team Italy or Team Israel make a surprise appearance?

That was so beautiful.

Well s%*#, their manager didn't leave the reliever in.

Realmuto looked like he briefly considered throwing down.

And after getting into second on a shallow bloop!

I was about to get really hype for bases loaded TA against a lefty, but the umpire decided to extend the strike zone upwards.

Man Team USA just seems deflated

I just do not understand what DeRosa was thinking.

Tim Anderson, you beautiful man

Please take Bard out

Yes, striking out Mike Trout. Very familiar with this Ruiz.
