Schultz is out. 2 runs and leaves with the bases loaded. Batted ball luck destroyed him in the outing.

3 singles against Schultz. Combined exit velocities might be 100 mph.

Crawford is like his Dad. Great defensively in leftfield.

Montgomery reaches on Catcher Interference in his first ab. Has made a couple of nice plays at third.

Yeah, but they're about to be 2-16 in his starts cuz they have no luck and cannot hit.

Elias just confirmed they're not trading Mayo or Holliday. They have no one else I'd take as the headliner in a deal for Crochet. I suppose they would still be in on Fedde, but I'd be shocked if the Sox deal with them. I bet the O's trade people in the Jud Fabian tier for a rental.

If there was an ABS challenge system in this game, the Sox would be challenging every third pitch.

From your lips to God's ears.

If you keep Crochet after the deadline, they'll be pairing young guys like Cannon, Bush, Eder, Mason Adams, Davis Martin etc. Flexen will be traded if anyone offers anything.

Feels like maybe the Sox should trade Flexen right now. During the game. His value is never gonna be higher.

This performance is shocking because it is so one-sided. Flexen is throwing to a normal strike zone. Pirates are throwing to the Grand Canyon. I'd check his friends' Fan Duel accounts for this game.

That turn by Sosa was pathetic. He's 1b/3b/dh, if he hits. Maybe an occasional fill-in at 2b. Bring Baldwin up after the trade deadline.

I actually doubt either Robert or Crochet will be traded before the offseason, BUT... Bowden is an idiot. He's never right about anything.

Sosa ain't gonna make it at 2b. He just is not instinctive enough to be involved in that many decisions. If you compare with with Gonzalez or Baldwin, they make the right play 99% of the time. Sosa is like 80%. Pedro is gonna see Baldwin play like 3 innings and fall in love.

Possibly. Baldwin is surprisingly good at ss. He is a solid defender wherever you put him.

Mogollon HR, 2bb. I think he has a shot at Kanny after the draft.

He’s a year older and with less pedigree. I personally like him more cuz he’s faster and may have a bit more pop, but Gonzalez made it to AA less than a year after he was drafted. Baldwin was in Kanny at the same point in their careers. I think it is close.

Baldwin 2-3, 2bb 1K. His K was taking a very close 3-2 pitch. He is a ballplayer.

HR Ramos. It was crushed.

Martin out after 3.2. Gave up a blooper and hit his 60 pitch limit. All-in-all, he looked good. Knights up 2-0. Double for Colas.

Doubles for Baldwin & DeLoach, 3 scoreless so far for Davis Martin. Charlotte up 1-0.

Personally, I like Ryan Clifford a lot.

I actually don’t think the Dodgers line up that well with the Sox potential window. Rushing is more of a win next year player due to age. I would actually like them to look younger. DePaula is risky, and waaaaay far away, but there is upside. I like the thought of Cooper Pratt for Fedde, but beggars etc.

Huh? I said he’s too low at 18 and then you said “pump the brakes, he’s in the Sox top ten.” Weird.

There’s a logjam at W-S in both left and 2b. Sprinkle is a glove-first ss, so he’s not blocking Nishida. They just moved Camilletti up, so maybe Nishida gets a shot, but Chapelli is also blocking him.
