Yes, thank you so much! Time to set the DVR.  

For Martin and Pilkington, obviously they will only pitch in one of those 3 games and the other two won't need to be watched/recorded for those just looking to see the Sox draftees. I would just assume Pilkington would pitch Game 1, while Martin is probably Game 2 or 3, but I haven't looked enough in to it to figure it out.

Yeah, that's why I put all the games. Even the Pilkington announcement was just the coach saying he was switching it up, so he could pitch game one. 

Non-Sox, but Logan Gilbert looks awful

I assume this will be the game thread for these CWS games. 

Oregon St. getting under way right now.

Madrigal singles on the first pitch up the middle, Larnach hits a 2-run dinger.

2-0 Oregon St in the 1st.

And everyone's favorite catcher, Rutchsman ALSO hit's an oppo HR and I sweat to god I think they both landed in the exact same spot. Couldn't have been more than 10 feet away from each other.

Adley. Rutschman.

Micah Coffey in this game too. Single in his first AB. K in his second.

Madrigal did his loft practice swing you focused so much on and then chopped a grounder to SS.  I have a feeling it's just his typical practice swing.

Larnach is awesome. Him and India were best college sluggers I saw all year.

Okay, so maybe that's not an indicator of his bat control. That doesn't take away from scouts having put 80s on his bat speed and bat control, or that he simply does not strikeout, or that every time I've seen him play, he makes good contact with the ball.

I really wish other teams hadn't caught on to Larnach and the Sox could've snagged him in Round 2. I hope the Twins trade him.

His swing reminds me of Hafner

Madrigal just about beat out a weak grounder to second and on the replayed it looks like he did beat it, but they didn't review it. 

Micah Coffey had a sweet diving stop at 3rd base on a bullet to his left.

I just watched the replay, and yeah, he beat that out. Wow.

Yeah, they said later that you can't challenge safe/out calls except for plays at the plate, so that explains why they didn't challenge it. 

Not impressed by either pitcher. Mize has no control today and Singer has been laying in 91-93 mph meatballs that would be crushed by better hitters. Also, is India having trouble throwing to 1b? Yips? Let a routine throw sail on him. Bailed out of an error by a very nice play by the first basemen and the announcers made a comment about India’s throws to first being an adventure of late. Took me about 30 minutes of watching that game to feel even more confident in the Madrigal selection.

Pilkington about to pitch on ESPN. Madrigal singled in his first AB on ESPNU.

Great piece of hitting by Madrigal exploiting the hole between 1st and 2nd

Hard not to like him when you watch him.

 

Pilkington sitting around 89

Really good offspeed pitches. Velocity leaves a lot to be desired. Throwing 86-88 from stretch.

He never does strike out

Do we have reading from anyone at the game because a lot, if not most, of the other guys pitching were throwing harder than the tv radar guns said. I know Logan Gilbert has like 3 mph slower on tv than people at the game had him.
