Kanny and WS lost by a combined 20-2. WS having a rough week.

Another HR for Popeye.

Wrong thread

Rough pitching night. So far, the four full season teams have given up 29 runs and Birmingham has barely started.

Personally, I cannot wait for robo-umps.

Is Maldonado that good at framing? Seems like the Astros have gotten a metric ton of strike calls in this series.

Might be my favorite banner yet. Great job!!!

Good for him, but I can think of another lefthanded-hitting corner of I would rather see promoted.

I am not particularly hopeful about Stiever. As was pointed out, he got ripped in AAA before the injury and has not pitched almost a year after lat surgery. By comparison, McDougal and Pallette both had TJS. The prognosis from that procedure is pretty good and so far neither of them has reported any setbacks. McDougal is already throwing. I feel way more confident that McDougal and Pallette will have a chance to be mlb starters than Stiever, although it is always wie to bet the under on any prospect's chances of making it.

They seem light on a ton of guys in this system. Throwing a 55 on Montgomery and a 50 on Colas seems half a grade light on each. Seeing Burrowes so high among their DSL guys is surprising.

I think Colas was frustrated with Sox telling him to hit the other way to start the year. He likes to turn and burn. That ball was a bomb.

There are two completely different zones in this game.

If baseball doesn't work out for him, please host a podcast called "The Claunch Angle."

Huge strike zone up

You mean Mellody Hobson, right?

This seems like shade at the coaching staff as well as the players. I am not sure that Duncan is providing tons of analytical insight to our catchers.

Cleveland ends the year with a 9 game homestand and holds the tiebreaker. Sox have to win and let the chips fall where they may. One reason for hope is that the teams in the East all have to play each other a lot. Sox can gain ground if they go on a streak. Sadly, that seems unlikely.

Eh, to me Foster is just a guy. Every team has a lot of up and down righty reliever candidates. Lambert is a bullpen guy now. That is probably where Bilous ends up. Luke Schilling, Lane Ramsey, Caleb Freeman… even the Sox depleted system has some guys who might make it. It’s finding starters that’s hard. Thank God for Davis Martin. Now we need to get one or two others either through development or trade.

Velasquez gone after the season. Foster is a bubble guy on the 40 man. Not much to choose from with either of them.

Apparently Colas had one robbed last night.

HR Colas.

Baez has like 50% of his hits this season against us.

Sosa not making plays gonna cost them.

Sosa really expanding the zone. He keeps swinging at anything round, he literally has no chance. He made his leap in AA in part because he tightened his zone. Hope he figures it out in the majors.

Or the Tigers are not a good offense.
