Already getting stiffed on pitches

Weird. You usually like the announcers.

Lenyn Sosa in 23 games at the pitchers park in AA has 4 HRs and a .936 OPS while being fairly young for AA (22 years old). The guy has always adjusted and hit. I saw the fangraphs prospect rankings that questioned his athleticism and ability to stay at SS. Regardless, it's exciting to see the guy do this well. Seems like he'll have a future as a utility player, at least.

Good move by Bummer signing that contract. The Sox have so many worthless players under contract.

5000%

Bummer! Lol

Horner-Madrigal is a weak infield

His velocity though

There's that low baseball IQ we all miss!

I don't any team valued Sheets much. If he had a lick of value he'd be gone.

We're going the way of the openers. Soon starting pitchers will be extinct. 3 innings for a starter/opener, max. They need to reduce the IP requirement for a win to be 3 innings so openers can get Ws.

Lenyn Sosa 2-3 with a 2B. His OPS was .850 to start the day. Dude has been looking good in AA this year.

Screw the umpires and screw their union. Starts using robotic umps and crush the union.

I'm a big Misael Gonzalez guy myself. In fact, I think he was "my guy" before he was "your guy". But that's a subject for another day. Dude looks pretty muscular. The quality of that video isn't great, but his swing looked sweet and the sound off the bat was great. He's gotta cut down on his strikeouts. 38% SO% so far.

Ray Ray is despicable for bandwagoning and trying to overthrow me as president of the Ruiz fan club. I've already reported him to the moderators here.

Thank you sir! Ruiz has a special arm.

I'll let him flame out on his own

Time to put Jose out to pasture

Harold can't wait for that bum to get sent down

Sox luck, he probably has a bone bruise

How do you yourself define "carrying" in terms of a player carrying BB% for a team? The guy lead the team in walks and lead the team in BB% by far. The team drops from 4th to 11th-13th when you chop off 40 walks, giving him an BB% of 12.5% as you stated. That seems pretty significant. Semantics.

It depends on how much he falls off, obviously. Removing 40 walks still gives him a BB% of 12.5%~. That's still above average. Give him an 9.75% walk rate, which would rank 3rd best for a team average BB%, and it drops the Sox to 15th. Give him a league average BB% of 8.7% and it drops another spot I'd imagine. 15% of a teams walks by one player is pretty significant. If you replace him with a player with the league average walk rate, it drops the Sox from 4th to 15th or 16th. That's a lot.

What about Danks? @Jack Parkman

Carlos Perez raised his SO% from 1.19% to 2.27% today. Bum
