This has been a great game for the rebuild, all things considered

It'd be nice if the team didn't live to kill its own hopes and dreams though.

You either ride with us or you get run over son!

What's been going on? I saw Moncada had 2 singles before that bomb on the telecast. Was Lopez good despite the score or nah? Anyone else with good games as far as the future guys (Eloy, Timmy)?

Eloy is 2-3. Anderson has a SB.

Lopez wasn't good

Got Abreu with the old straightball

Yoan looks great, Eloy getting 2 hits...what else matters offensively?    And no, Lopez looked horrendous

Possibly. When you've been injured as much as Sale has the last two seasons it isn't out of the question.  Boston may have messed up by signing Sale to that deal. 

I looked at the link in that fangraphs article and they say it takes 3 starts to gauge fastball velocity. 

 

You just said it takes one single start to be perfectly predictive.

Herrera and Fry are gonna be gascans this year. 

How do you even figure this

Hopefully Timmy gets his shit together. I know some are 50/50 on him as a player including myself if and when this team becomes good if he'll still be part of the plan.

I'd say Anderson is important as well but yes that's about all

If you aren't on it already, I'd jump on the Yoan Moncada 2019 all-star train pretty soon. It's about to leave the station...

Nice debut for Kelvin

Herrera is only at 94

Nice inning by herrera

I think he's fine as like the 7th or 8th best hitter on a contending team.  I'll be honest, besides the velocity issues today, the only concern for the young guys is Eloy looks pretty terrible defensively.

He's still not at 100% in his recovery IIRC

Tallest midget

Kidding, I agree

I think he's only fine as a good defensive SS batting 9th on a contending team. 

Do you think Benetti even bothered to see Diekman's numbers against LHP?

Moncada looks so good. Keep it up.

Well, it was one of the boxes he needed to check

Assuming no improvement from what he is now, then yeah that's probably accurate. I think he can get up to a .280/.315/.425 guy in his prime though, with the good defense that we saw for most of last season

I see Tim as a glove-first 2 WAR type guy that you need a few of to be a consistent winner.

As far as Eloy is concerned on D, what I see is a dumb error, him looking really slow, but also comfortable reading the ball in the air.
