Wow. This roster has gone from awful to indescribable. I sincerely don’t understand Palacios and Narvaez. I mean, Quero has to be added to the 40 man at the end of the year anyway, and so does Meidroth. I guess they are protecting themselves against Super 2, but if either of them perform to that level, the Sox should be happy.

I wish I could have seen Oppor. Looks like my optimism in Zavala was misplaced. It was a bad sign when we saw he was hitting 8th in the game against Kanny. McLain also struggling way more than expected. But there are some guys who are really opening eyes, like Oppor.

I think you would have to do the full Halladay and send him back to Arizona to rebuild his swing.

Duran opened up about a suicide attempt during career struggles. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/44571881/jarren-duran-reveals-suicide-attempt-amid-struggles-depression Really powerful. He’s my new favorite player.

If the Sox are looking for bullpen guys, the cupboard is pretty bare in Charlotte. Altavilla is currently closing. Throws pretty hard, but is yet another journeyman, 32 years old, was last good 7 years ago. I like Adisyn Coffey, but they don't seem to. Adler was just moved up, but he has command/control issues that may be the lst thing the Sox need right now. Gilbert is probably the next guy up for Eisert. He did not look good today. I don't believe in McGough. In AA, Pallette is closing. Dalquist and Luna both have good stuff, both of them also have trouble throwing strikes. If they were contenders, they'd be tempted to make Taylor a reliever and fast-track him. Of course, in their current state, that would be insane. I actually don't think there is a lot of help down on the farm.

Mods, it is April 6th. Maybe lock this thread?

Knights, Dash and Ballers all win.

Montgomery K’s on a bad call. Totally checked, but he still seems to be cheating for the fastball.

C. Montgomery hitting the ball better all of the sudden. Even his outs are hit hard. Hopefully, he can put a little streak together.

B. Montgomery is really swinging well right-handed. Just unloaded the bases with a very hard hit double. I do not think he will be in Kanny more than a month.

Meidroth HR. It was a bomb.

Antonacci oppo taco. Wind blowing that way, but nice hitting. Kid is very good.

Veteran hitters in W-S look really good. Gelanie 2 more doubles today. Makarewicz HR, and a double. Appel looks good. Antonacci is just a killer: bb, SF, single, 2 runs scored, rbi. Great at bat every time up. I think I understand why the Kanny guys had trouble jumping up.. older guys deserve at bats up there. Gonna be interesting who makes it to AA this year.

B. Montgomery hit a BOMB right-handed. No doubter. It score Bonemer who beat out an infield hit. The shortstop made a nice play to get to it. Was a legit single.

I agree minus Saucke. I don’t think he controls the zone like those other guys.

16-6 now. Gelanie a double short of the cycle. Jeral Perez HR, double, 2 bb. Team took 12 bb. All through minors, Sox taking a patient approach. Fuller influence?

W-S wearing their hitting/walking shoes today. Up 14-6. Gelanie with the granny. Zavala 4 bb. Not sure that is good or bad. Swing is different but passivity is the same.

Very small sample sizes, but Lee and Sosa had best start hitting. The prospects who are closest to the majors play 2b and c, respectively.

Reyes going for Kanny. Could be interesting.

Barons and Knights win. W-S never in the game, Kanny bullpen chokes on one. Birmingham’s bullpen looks like the best in the system even after Adler was promoted.

One time Bonemer was absolutely robbed by the ss. Full extension on a liner headed to left. Montgomery has had long at bats and ended with K’s

Kanny 0-11 w/RISP. 12 LOB. Tied 4-4. Should be killing them.

2 HBP and giant error by Mogollon. Manny trails 4-3

Colson with a walk and a single. Looks waaay better tonight. Not chasing like he was.

Bonemer is 0-4 and looks really really good. No luck but hitting it hard. Mogollon 3 walks. He’s gonna be a pest.
