This game has been a joy so far. Yoan beasting against one of the best.

Fathom? Joyful?!

If you listen to Sox beat, McCann is getting glowing reviews from the pitchers as well.  If this is truly the player we're seeing I hope he sticks.

Sox 10-7 in games started by McCann at catcher this year. About to be 11-7... Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.

Nova dealing

You mean one of our starters is actually gonna go 7 innings??

Coop fixed him

James McCann is working with Ivan Nova for the first time this season. The change behind the plate is working. And Nova’s got his sinker back. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.

Keep McCann with Nova for a while.

I love Coop until the pitchers struggle again 

Sorry for being a really negative folks, ir was a frustrating series and It shouldn't have surprised me that they got torched by the Sawx. That is a helluva lineup

Both he and Welly also caught 16 games a piece, ERA high 4s for McCann mid 6s for Welly.

McCann working this pitcher over right now. Damn.

Catcher ERA has been largely abandoned for a reason. But you have to be blind to not see how much better McCann is as a receiver.

Catchers matter. And the Sox haven’t had a decent defensive catcher in a long time it seems. For this reason alone, I was thankful they dumped Narvaez and signed McCann even if McCann only puts up a .650 OPS at the plate.

What a great AB by McCann.

Great at bat by McCann. Saw 12 pitches and flew out at the warning track- just missed second HR

Why was McCann doing push-ups in the dugout?

Meanwhile, Red Sox down 4-1 in the 5th to the Orioles.

WTP (warning track power)

To raise above warning track power in last AB.

Anyone else rather have Delmonico DH when Jimenez returns rather than Alonso? 

So can we all agree that the Twins are the new division favorite this season?

Nicky can hit. 

He was one of these prospects (albeit not a top prospect) who immediately raked after getting the call in his rookie season. Last year was kinda lost with injuries. 

I‘d rather see him than Alonso..

Nicky is also a quality dude, you can‘t help but root for him. Not that Yonder isn‘t mind you.

Actually both he and Jimenez can DH.

It's a baseball players  funny way of saying I need to be stronger and that warning track fly ball becomes a HR
