Collins looks much better defensively so far than was reported. He doesn’t look out of place at all at catcher, which is huge.

So far if you didn’t know the reputation, you wouldn’t really know he was supposed to be bad. I will guarantee that Castillo would have botched one of those plays at the plate.

Which makes you think, what are all these experts looking at?

I mean, I really don’t get it. At worst he looks to be serviceable back there, if not above average. He’s been really solid this game.

After 6 innings trailing by a single run.  Feels a lot worse than that.  It's time to beat these guys into submission.

Just like bringing up Moncada too early was going to ruin him?

If Cease comes up and is total shit, it won't be because they brought him up now instead of waiting until his ERA is under 4

Moncada is at far lower of a risk of his 2nd major elbow reconstruction in his career.

Someone explain to me what in the hell Despaigne sucking has to do Dylan Cease's readiness to be a Major League pitcher. 

That's like saying that dad's too drunk to drive, so we should let the 5 year old do it. 

Yeah, a drunk adult and a 5 year old are perfect comparisons for the topic at hand

.143 average, .821 OPS. Love it.

Evan Marshall reminds me of Matt albers. Very underwhelming stuff, a decent run that make idiots think he's reliable, and then he turns into a pumpkin

Maybe somehow he's streaky and there's a bad game coming?

Even though Collins was out in that play, it was a good at bat, he worked the count by knowing the zone and then made contact and made the defense work.

this is absurd.

This is the reason now? I didn't say to promote him and have him throw 110 pitches every fifth day. Man there a ton of reasons to keep Cease in Charlotte. Keep 'em coming. So far we've gotten service time, mental issues, too many walks, the Sox stink, he doesn't deserve it and now he may hurt himself in Chicago (something he cannot possibly do in Charlotte)

He has had one bad game out of 19. 

33 pitch first inning and he goes 7ip. He gave up 6 but I'm still disappointed

Great defense sure helped

Are the Rangers just this good defensively or did we catch them on an awesome night? This has been rather impressive. 

We had Lynn on the ropes in the first and now he completes 7.  You have to put good pitchers away in the early innings when you have the chance.

Timmy just sucks on defense this year 

Anderson Leads the world at SS in errors, Stone even tired of making excuses

Jesus christ Anderson

hes so awful defensively 

unreal 

I'm a huge Anderson fan but that's awful

Nice play Timmay.

That's what happens when you lazy and not squatting down to the ball.

This. He might not be a SS. That might be the actual hole, not RF. Timmy can play CF and Robert can play RF.
