The Sox party lifestyle does not do well in day games.

Lorenzen out after only 85 pitches.

Wow. That was quick. Lorenzen is set to pitch the 8th now.

These are two of the 6 worst teams in baseball. I fully expect the Tigers record to reflect that as the season goes on. As for the Sox, sell!

The highlight reel of this game is gonna be a series of catchers running to the backstop.

Ha ha. These teams suck.

Who do you sit from this offensive juggernaut?

Pretty easy math: Tigers seeing 5.3 pitches per PA, the Sox are seeing 2.8. At this rate Lorenzen is gonna have to do a bullpen after his complete game.

Yeah, 85 mph off the bat ain't going anywhere.

Repeat of last weekend. Lorenzen getting set up to throw a Maddux.

I think I prefer Taylor to Morales for the lefty bat, but I'd prefer an up-the-middle player.

And yet they are 5 games ahead of the Sox.

Seby does not require a mound visit.

Kelly was a center fielder. He’s an athletic fielder.

Kelly good against everyone but the Tigers.

0 strikes so far by this guy

How slow do you have to be to have Seby run for you?

Gonzalez! What a great athlete.

Back end of the top 30 guy. Like Shane Murphy, I will put more stock in him once he succeeds at A+.

Tanner Banks is not that bad. He could give you what Crochet is giving you and Crochet could pile up much needed innings in the minors.

Callis has a new mock up. He admits that buzz is Sox are looking at high school hitters but gives Sox my least favorite profile in the draft, Jacob Wilson. https://www.mlb.com/news/2023-mlb-mock-draft-first-round-june-1

I will point out the blown service time would happen in a rehab stint too. They have to send him down. And then convert him to at least try to be a starter.

Neither Madrigal nor Vaughn fits the ideal profile for a top ten pick. They lack, as Ryan Poles would say, outstanding traits. The difference is Vaughn is a year younger and still in the majors. The chances that Madrigal reaches his ceiling of "David Fletcher 2" are rapidly dwindling. For Vaughn, while there's life, there's hope.

Yikes. The fact that Madrigal, a disaster of a pick at 1-4, is considered their best pick really tells you how they got into this mess. Being worse at scouting erodes depth to the point where you are always chasing smart orgs like the Dodgers and Rays. They have to bring in a new leadership group or this will be a never ending cycle of futility.

Birmingham got absolutely buried. Again. But Ramos went 3-3.
