Alex McRae is still on this team?!

Ruiz looks pretty good. If every other rightie keeps struggling, he may get some big innings later in the season.

That is a Fulmer strike. 87 back to the screen.

Sheets walked on 4 pitches. Seems hitterish.

I will say nothing is a swing to this 3rd base ump.

I like the new Dylan Cease.

HR for Rutherford. He's an honorary rightfielder this evening.

HR for Krogman. 3 games, 3 HR by LH-hitting rightfielders.

That hit is totally on the 3rd base ump

HR for Mieses. Triple and homer so far. Maybe a guy to watch at WS?

Interesting for the era though, 25% K rate across baseball. At what point does defense stop mattering that much? Not now probably, but we're getting close.

Vaughn in left, Sheets in right, Abreu in center?

Nice 1st for Cease.

Jose Rodriguez double for the first hit of 2021!

Interesting to look at lineups. Krogman hitting clean up for Kanny. Ramos DH and hitting third. Gladney playing third. Lenny Sosa clean up for WS.

That is one possible outcome. Just curious, where do you think Goodwin will be in 18 months.

I agree. Even if it was Luis Gonzalez, with Leury primarily in cf, I say bring up Mendick and DFA Lamb. A third DH is a luxury at this point.

I don’t think Goodwin can play cf anymore. If he were replacing Eaton, I get it, but how’s he gonna find playing time? I guess they’re gonna throw him out there and give it a whirl.

Are we sure he’s an upgrade? Goodwin is known quantity for good or for bad. Gonzalez has a range of outcomes.

?

Oh, my. That would suck for the Sox and Robert. He has generational talent.

Ugh, in some ways this is worse than Eloy. At least with Eloy the prognosis is 100% recovery, no issues. I think the Sox pitching is good enough to still be a threat, but it's gonna be hard baseball to watch. Jose's gonna run out of pockets for the batting gloves.

The players to watch for me at W-S are Bryce Bush, Lenyn Sosa, and Yolbert Sanchez. Maybe Mieses will be a pleasant surprise? I've always liked Harvin Mendoza, but he seems hit over power and he's 1b only.

Any word yet on when Sox are releasing minor league rosters? Yankees did it yesterday, but Sox usually wait until the last possible moment.

They have had a lot of trouble with pop ups this year
