McCann is starting to become my favorite player on the entire team.

deeeaaaaammmnnnn

Aced him on the corner. Nice

It's not even really the players in the lineup (other than Yonder, obv), but the order in which they are placed.

Sorry for my ignorance, but who?

At this point he is essentially a pitcher hitting for us...

Insane how many TJS guys we have.

I still say I haven't seen a worse showing that James Shield's first few months on the 2016 team. That was horrific.

Yeah I'm sure they do to but there is something to learning the language with people you are comfortable with and have played with for a bit versus with a whole new ball-club, coaches, teachers, etc. Just a thought.

Madrigal just destroying the league. Not too far behind Robert on the development path now. If they both keep this up, they will be up to the Sox early next year.

Thanks for sharing. Fun read. I wonder if him learning English in Bham is actually a reason to keep him there longer, even if his performance warrants a call up to Charlotte

Holy shit everyone needs to stop pissing and moaning. Sox made it a lot closer than what we thought with deeznuts starting. Anderson had a nice offensive game. Bullpen was fine. Umpire screwed them over once again. Time for robo umps. I was completely against it at first now I'm all for it.

Hahn has consistently said he will not bring up a key core of the future championship-contending team due to the major league team's needs if that player is not ready. I am glad he is sticking to that, despite the pressure.

Covey probably starts next. They said he threw a side session or is scheduled for one, so if that goes well my guess is he starts next. Although I guess they would try Ross Detweiler. Palka up for Alonso needs to happen. Palka starting to hit home runs, his average is up to .280 in Charlotte, he obviously is out of whatever funk he was in to start the year, and his bat plays well in the hot weather. Unfortunately, Jay is probably going to come up and take one of either Cordell's or Tilson's spot. Alonso probably stays, even though I would rather Jay stay in AAA and Palka take over for Alonso.

2019: Marcell Ozuna, Castellanos, Puig, Eaton (he ain't coming back) 2020: Betts, Springer, Cespedes, David Peralta, Brantley, Joc Pederson, Bradley Jr., Jay Bruce, Stanton (opt out) Some good options there actually. Not sure I would hang my hat on any of the 2019 options...abut who knows how many of these guys will extend

Well, who is your right fielder? Robert in center and Eloy in left. Not like we can count on Basabe or Adolfo anymore

I really want Yolmer to be our utility infielder when we get to our competitive years. Not sure if Leury is a starter on a winning team or not...really the only thing that worries me is his health history. Otherwise, perfect utility guy as well.

WOW GREAT RELAY

Annndd there it is!!!

I like Anderson's flare, but he needs to start busting his ass out of the box. That ball was almost fair and he was jogging half way up the first base line when the ball was caught...

Maybe they got Despaigne because he's Cuban?

Actually a good curveball to Choo

Fulmer gonna have to prove himself tonight I bet.

Hey, not saying I agree with them, just stating the facts brah. Despaigne won't get out of the 2nd inning.

Because: 1: Rodon Tommy John 2: Kopech Tommy John 3: Dunning Tommy John 4: Cease not ready yet 5: Charlotte needs starters too 6: No good free agent pitchers going to come on a 3 month deal All in that order
