A win for the Sox PD staff. They've gotten so much better there.

The Sox have a pretty undesirable farm system and they lack a lot of any real exciting prospects, outside of Jared Kelley. Hopefully, they rethink their approach to amateurs, in the draft and in Latin America to be more like the Padres, who are loaded with a lot of high upside, up the middle types.

If the Sox passed on Harry Ford, Gavin Williams, Wes Kath and Peyton Stovall to select Jud Fabian everyone here should be furious. I would be if that happens.

And the bad knee

Why is Grandal playing this game?

Fabian is such a weird case study because he was a projected top 5 pick to open draft seasons and then he wasn’t even considered to be a first round guy by mid season but he’s played his way back into first round consideration. Weird season.

If I’m a veteran on the team, someone who’s been on the team for the rebuild years, I’m getting the guys together trying to convince everyone to not play the game and forfeit till TLR and Reaindorf publicly apologizes for this bullshit.

This is stupid.

I agree with you on about the young arms, they’re definitely players to dream on and to be excited about but that’s not enough. Even when they had a top 5 farm during the rebuild, the system wasn’t very deep. They need to start stockpiling young talent

FYI the Sox certainly have a bottom 5 farm now with Crochet, Vaughn and Madrigal all graduated from prospect status. If you want sustained success, this is a crucial draft. It should provide some window of how the time will approach talent acquisition with lower picks and less bonus money.

The only other guy who I want batting second is Grandal. He gets on base, he sees a lot of pitches and would create RBI opportunities for the middle of the order.

Vaughn should be batting second everyday from now on... Anderson Vaughn Moncada Abreu Mercedes Grandal Eaton Hamilton Madrigal

I’m of the opinion that Burdi would’ve been called up to the big soon after they drafted him. If the Sox took Jud Fabian at 22, Is be very upset.

I either want a college pitcher who can help the ML team soon, if not now or I want a high upside prep player. If they take the college pitcher then I hope they go with a heavy prep focus in rounds 2-10.

The game was very winnable despite the offense not showing up

Say you’re joking

Another loss on the manager

Mike Tauchman would be really good right now.

Bad defense will do that to a pitcher

Don’t check out what Brad Miller is doing. In my opinion, he was a must get guy for the Sox in the offseason.

Again, you can’t be serious about winning when your featured bench player is Leury Garcia. He’s so bad offensively, it’s not even funny. The Sox need to upgrade their bench in the worst way.

Why is Vaughn not taking this AB for Hamilton?

Was LaRussa taking a nap in the clubhouse?

That’s some of the worst managing I’ve ever seen. Giolito should’ve been pulled after the walk, to not only leave him in there after the game is tied but to let him get to 115 pitches and go through the order a 3rd time is fucking irresponsible

Any idea who’s starting on Saturday?
