This is the outcome I was hoping for with Colson. I thought they should send him to AZ to figure out both swing and approach. Hope he keeps it up. Nice to see Zavala hitting it hard as well.

No to Alcantara for anyone. The sun is setting on his prospect status.

Not banking on anyone. They are called prospects for a reason. That said, his current value in trade to another club would be sky high. He already is a good pick.

Check out Bonemer.

Bonemer 2-2, triple, and now 3bb

Bonemer 2-2, triple, 2bb

With Vargas taking 3b so decisively, what exactly is Rojas’s role on this team? Having him in the line up instead of Sosa seems kinda insane.

Spoke to soon on Clevinger. Now getting lit by the bad AAA line up.

Orioles getting crushed again by the Nationals. Eflin has given up 4 HR in 2 innings. O’s fans must be freaking out.

Hate to say it, but just on baseball, Clevinger looks like a better short-term option than Bryse Wilson. He is throwing the ball fine against a not particularly good Gwinnett team. Knights stranding bunches of runners so far.

I think he’s plummeting into Fabian territory. That may be a 30 hit tool and that’s hard to draft in the first 3 rounds, let alone at 1-10.

Yes. They have moved him to the pen. Since he is on the 40, I think he has a great shot at getting called up in that role this season. He has been on Boston’s 40 for a couple of years, so his options are dwindling and the Sox did not have a ton of time to be patient with him. More concerning to me is the way they’re using Taylor. Tonight 1IP 1H 0bb 3K. He seems on the fast track to closer town and he is not running out of options.

I love “as head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility..” therefore I am firing someone else. Typical.

Brandon Hyde is out as O’s manager. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45193411/sources-orioles-fire-manager-brandon-hyde-slow-start

Mea Culpa, as the Pope would say.

Has played corner OF in the past too. But this year, all 1b/DH

They're gonna spend the money they saved from the international pool on airfare when they DFA this guy. Does not seem long for this team.

Despite the results, Vargas going from where he was to the heater he's been on since the swing change is the kind of good news the Sox need to get out of the hole they're in. If Colson can keep making progress too, that'll be something to hopeful about as we walk through the valley of the shadow of suck.

Where do the Sox find these horrific relievers? Would it kill them to just once give one of their guys from the minors a shot?

This is how last year's edition lost so many games. Poor fielding/bad decisions/bad luck blew up into a big inning and offense too anemic to overcome it. For the most part, this year the team has played way cleaner. So disappointing, but I think this is a blip.

I think that's the plan. They practically said as much when he went to AZ. It's what I would do.

Montgomery looks more like himself. Liking this Fuller guy so far.

So you're saying he's due.

I have always supported stretching out Vasil to be 5th starter. B Wilson’s stuff simply is not good enough. Otherwise, you’re looking at Clevinger or bringing up Schultz earlier than planned. Sox have a lot of reliever candidates to backfill Vasil.
