Antonacci 1-1 with 2bb. OBP over .500. He never seems to expand the zone ever. Playing 2b today btw.

Nice challenge. Terrible at bat by Meidroth. Expanded zone on a guy who doesn’t have his best stuff. That could have been a big inning.

Murray is a former Ray who is a good multi-position AAA guy with a little pop. Way better imho than guys like Amaya and Capra. Good depth with a chance to have a nice career as a back up/second division regular. Off to a good start in Charlotte.

I will say Smith’s first two starts lessen the regret for me. If Griffin is Bobby Witt, it’s a huge mistake, but less so if Hagen is Carlos Rodon.

I wonder if using Taylor as an opener has anything to do with winning. Sox don’t seem to care about that. I think it is a way of grooming him to go back to starting, which would be a good thing. It will hurt less if/when Berroa comes back.

Huh? Gavin Williams is a first rounder who throws really hard and has missed time with arm problems. You do have to spend some draft capital on pitching.

Carlson with hard hit rbi double right before the rain started. Rain delay 13-1

Kanny put up a 12 spot in the 1st inning. HR Tejada and Galvan. Fauske bb, 1b Carlson HBP, 1b, Mogollon 2bb, Alcala bb, 1b

Flashback to the Brewers series. Not feeling great about this.

Seranthony is gonna age me a lot this year.

Weirdest play I have seen in a while. A team that’s not swinging it that great yet can’t do stuff like that.

Sox pitchers have really had trouble finishing guys with two strikes today

Mune crushed that

This rotation may have 3 new members by the ASB

Crazy to take him out now after the middle of the order is passed. It tells you the Sox have almost no relievers they trust.

Hard to understand letting Vlad face Kay late, but hard to win when you don’t score.

Kay not fooling a lot of guys right now.

This team is just dead on offense. They need to get Teel back ASAP.

But first , Kelenic!

I am not sure Acuna’s upside is high enough to give him a lot of run if he sucks on both sides of the ball. I always felt he was overrated as a prospect just because he was consistently young for the level. I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think he has the impact to warrant unlimited run.

Montgomery now 2-2, bb HR.

I hate this team

This team is hitting like .115 with RISP and even less against bullpens.

Seems like the Sox can’t get a clean inning out of their bullpen let alone a shutdown game.

Not enough to overturn, but worth challenging.
