Continue to be so impressed by Kevan Smith. Such a shame he lost time last year.

Look what I found. Lucky.

Yeah I don't see him in the org next year

If he was like 80% of what he was before the back injury, he might still be a viable backup, but he's not close to that.

Stuff wise, it's Kopech and Lopez way above everyone else

Agreed but I don't think Hansen is far behind Kopech and Lopez. Hansen has a pretty nice four pitch mix.

I think both Smith and Narvaez are good options for backup catchers when we're good

That's not luck, Hosmer is a good 1b

Man, a quick worker with a dynamite breaking ball. I could get used to this.

 

Mark Buerhle-esque?

Avi Garcia not in Sox lineup but available. Renteria says he's just giving him a rest.

 

Thanks for this post. I went back looking to see if someone knew why Avi wasn't in the lineup

Sure, but when you check the glove to see if the ball is in it...

I thought he had regressed hard defensively

Mark Buerhle-esque?

 

No, seems slow to me

Bye shutout

Lopez gives up a homer to Mooooostakas and then a single. He is human. Trade him!

Came out hyped up, stuff has flattened out now. Has to bury his slider more often as he's hanging a lot of them.

Bye shutout

You'll always be BMags in my heart.

 

And you jinxed it.

Suddenly getting hit hard

No, seems slow to me

I think he's pretty fast overall but Smith has been slow in giving him signs at times. He's not Buehrle fast, but still pretty good.

Agree

Way too high in the zone this inning. Maybe getting a bit fatigued after all the adrenaline has run its course.

Like how Lopez settled down.

Yolmer Sanchez is cool.

Good recovery but could have been worse. Lost thread on his breaking stuff

Yolmer has me cracking up man. This guy plays defense with a chip on his shoulder if that's possible. He was all ready to make the crazy catch over the rail then seemed mildly pissed it was just an easy play for him.

Yolmer Sanchez is cool.

 

Yes he is.

To be frank, Yoan's swing from the right sucks.
