Zavala is consistently given the team's award for best defensive outfielder. He is slightly better out there than Braden. That said, Braden's not bad out there. He'd be serviceable especially if he's flanked by rangy outfielders like Pereira and Peters or even Hays.

Sandlin better be an All Star someday to make what the Sox are on the hook for with Hicks worth it.

Kay has gotten 9 outs, 4 of them by the last two guys in the order. I believe under no circumstances do you let him face the top a third time.

Why not? The incumbents are Luisangel Acuna and Tristan Peters. Not replacing DiMaggio or something.

Clearly the Sox are not making Taylor a closer. I question why they've accelerated his clock the way they have without a defined role in mind for him. The bullpen usage the last two days indicates that winning is not their priority this season. They clearly are prizing development over results, which... when you're getting the 10th pick anyway and you're trying to avoid an unprecedented 4th straight 100 loss season... I dunno. I'm kind of tired of the mentality.

I hate Seranthony already.

The injuries aren’t helping, but neither is the weird roster churn. The Sox are loaded with guys who are the 26-30th man on an mlb roster: Peters, Hill, Acuna, McGuire, Nikhazy, Sims, Bido, Hudson, Murray. That’s 9 guys, over a third of the roster. Feel the momentum.

Shelton is certainly intriguing. His track record of power in the SEC, then changing his approach and hitting for average in the SEC gives me hope that maybe he’s found a happy medium. Might just be a heater, but man does he look good.

Even the outs were smoked.

Sox have a shutdown bullpen. They come in, I shut down my TV.

I wonder if umps make that Pereira call if he’s still on the Yankees. That call changed this game profoundly.

Harris got dfa because he can’t play cf. The Robert trade plus Baldwin injury leaves them short there. Not ideal, but that’s where they are at.

Meidroth is not a longterm starting mlb player. He simply doesn’t have any upside.

I'll believe he exists when he makes an affiliate. Until then, he's AI. Also, has there been a McLain sighting? He was supposedly gonna play this year. Kinda depressing since they chose him over my preferred pick that year, Mike Sirota.

The centerfielder thought he had a shot at it and it was way over the batter’s eye. That was 80 grade power on display. Finally made that guy pay for all the walks.

This is what losing baseball looks like. 2-12 w/RISP early. 8 LOB through 4. Shaky bullpen in a hitters park. Recipe for disaster.

Boston Smith (acquired for Mead) hit his 3rd HR in 2 games since he was promoted to high-A.

Looooong HR for Wolkow. W-S can hit.

Colby Shelton looks extremely hitterish. 1-2 with a bullet single and a 103 mph fly out against the centerfield wall. I’m not convinced he’s a small sample size fluke. He definitely bears watching.

I have been pretty patient with Getz. I’m not sure I can watch much more of this garbage.

Good God. This team is easy to hate.

Meidroth has struggled as much as anyone. Antonacci is a threat to take his job.

It’s a tough profile for a third rounder: R/R pop up guy who transferred in from a small school. I did not like what I saw from him last year. Of course, Shelton was horrible post-draft. It’s 10 games, so not much of a sample, but so far encouraged by mid rounders Davis, Shelton, DePino, Brown, and Banks. 2025 class off to a good start. Lotta time before we know much about the HS guys.

After going 0-5 he has been absolutely en fuego. He does have a track record of success in the SEC. Any way this team could play 9 second basemen?

Also, they'd dump Nikhazy before Cannon. Not that I ever want to see Cannon pitch again.
