June 15, 20178 yr Adolfo with go ahead single in bottom of 7th. 825 ops. Make that game winning RBI, 7 inning affair. Morrison 0.56 era. LUIS Robert, 4 walks already. Edited June 15, 20178 yr by caulfield12
June 15, 20178 yr Author Moncada walked and scored. Kinda was holding his hand after he slid into home. Hopefully not the same thumb.
June 15, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) Moncada walked and scored. Kinda was holding his hand after he slid into home. Hopefully not the same thumb. I didn't notice that, but he did slide back into 1B on a pick-off. Definitely something to monitor.
June 16, 20178 yr Fulmer is highly unimpressive. Lucky he hasn't given up 3-4 runs already. Not MLB starting caliber to me

Right before he gave up the homer, I was thinking that he doesn't look in control of what he's doing. It's throw the ball and hope.

June 16, 20178 yr The question is can Fulmer even have enough control going all out for a couple of innings to be another Addison Reed? If he's throwing 94-97, his mechanics are going to be all over the place with that delivery of his. Stephens, two more scoreless innings so far. Pointless to mention offense for BIRM.

I just think Fulmer's stuff has backed up so much, he's never going to be a big league contributor. Don't forget the lack of velocity improvement last year when he was in the pen. To me, he's fallen behind Stephens and Guerrero as a prospect

LUIS Robert, 4 walks already. Take the DSL walk number with a HUGE grain of salt. Pitchers have no control down there. 14 walks to 9 K between the two teams today.
June 16, 20178 yr Burdi is another one who really should be more dominant, but they've moved him really quickly...he might have been better off in AA with Kopech to start the year. In the end, hopefully those second tier guys like Dunning, Adams, the two you mentioned...at least one of them emerges. As long as Kopech, Giolito and Lopez make it, or at least 2/3, they'll be fine. It's relatively easy to find a fifth starter, we have four vets on the big league roster doing essentially that right now.

Pitchers have no control down there. 14 walks to 9 K between the two teams today. Well, it's certain many opposing pitchers are going to be careful with him...and it's better than the alternative of putting up a low OBP, no matter what the level. Being off the playing field for a full year, it's going to take a month at least before his timing is back. Obviously he looked fine on that hr swing.

A closer taken with the 26th pick in the draft should be pitching very well in the majors right now or putting up absurd numbers in AAA.

For five years, the Sox were irrelevant with their major and minor league teams. Easy to become apathetic about covering it.
