That's not a good team to have nothing against.

Reylo gave up 4 in the first.

I agree. If you retaliate for showing up the position player you had pitching, you should seek counseling.

Very happy Vaughn got a couple plays in right tonight. Versatility is a good thing.

Twins are lucky this isn't 6-1.

If this is all Madrigal turns out to be, then that's okay, but the Sox should be open to replacing him with someone better. Maybe Jose Rodriguez in a couple of years?

Yes, both. He played left in spring and has played rf about half the time in Charlotte so far.

Sheets actually isn’t bad out there. He’s a big guy, but he’s in really good shape, and moves well. In a world where the opposition is striking out a quarter of the time or more, sacrificing offense for defense is questionable. But, if you want defense, Luis Gonzalez is better in right than anyone currently on the roster except probably Hamilton. Anyway, both of them are better than Lamb.

It was part of a joke on how little I want to see Goodwin in a Sox uni.

Bieber out after 4.2. Threw 100 pitches. Somebody understands the key is laying off the 60% of pitches he throws out of the strike zone. M’s with one hell of a game plan.

For me: 1. Sheets 2. Luis Gonzalez 3. Marco Hernandez 4. Rutherford 5. Seby Zavala 6. Me 7. Goodwin

Cease deserves a big piece of this win. No earnies. Keeps them in the game when they are not playing that well. Reinforcements may be coming. Guys in Charlotte are hitting, so the Sox have options.

Sheets with his second homer of the game!

Heuer needs to figure it out. He went from lights out to a guy getting hit at a .400 clip on his bread and butter pitch. With Foster and Marshall also struggling, hard to fault TLR for bullpen usage. He's only got 2 reliable relievers.

This is what I was afraid of. Even if you get out of it, who's got the 8th now? TLR does not trust the new Dylan.

I do believe that is every Sunday for them. Dress for the job you want, I guess.

At 88 pitches and the with the state of the Sox pen, that's a risky hook by TLR. I guess Crochet, Bummer, and Hendricks are all available, but I would have liked to get into the 7th with Dylan.

I think Dylan could have gotten this guy out. KC's line up falls off a cliff after Soler.

Don't look now, but the last catcher on our 40 man, Seby Zavala, now has 4 HR.

Stiever done for the day 5IP 6H 2R 2ER 3BB 9K.

Oppo taco for Luis Gonzalez.

HR for the much-maligned Luis Gonzalez in his first game back!

I hope Madrigal is good. My point is, his path to be a better-than-average contributor is narrow. His path to be the kind of impact player you hope to get drafting #4 is tiny.

Also, Marco Hernandez is ripping the ball and he hits lefthanded. I thought he looked okay in the Spring. Any chance he gets some utility run later in the year?

I get it's a small park where the ball jumps but Sheets hit that waaay back.
