Don't want to burn too many players...let Ruiz hit for Cease ?

Man, Grandal just looks rough at the plate right now.

Reds pulling their starters already...

I actually kind of like the Benetti-Len play by play duo

Please let this be real. He looks untouchable

Battled his control a few times but didn’t implode again.  That is really reassuring.

He will be fine, check out his statcast page, he is making good contact, his Babip is comically low

Who's this guy actually throwing strikes out there?  I didn't see that much in a Sox uniform.

I find it annoying that they're not destroying Carson Fulmer. 

 

Fulmer is pitching mostly offspeed stuff and doesn't look half bad

Would be a big boost if he starts to pick it up.

For how rough of a career he had with the Sox and that he was a wasted 1st round pick....I still always liked the guy, Jack.  I wish him nothing but the best, especially in a game the Sox are up 8 ?

Why burn catchers 2 and 3?

Also is walking more than he's striking out and has a .342 OBP despite hitting .123, he's hitting grounders to the right side a bit too much but he's still been really unlucky and even with that he's still getting on base at an above average rate. Not worried.

So many swinging strikes, love to see it.

He seemed like a fine dude, but he sucked. 

I still don't know how you could scout Vandy for Carson Fulmer but miss Walker Buehler.

Yup, Grandal, Abreu and Giolito will be fine.

Yeah kind of weird.

So did numerous other teams. ?‍♂️

I went to school in Ohio and I'm with Len...I don't get the Skyline Chili love.

I'm surprised the announcers can't be in Cincy in person. I don't like Skyline chili but I love regular chili.

Twins just blew yet another save.

Rogers gave up two the night before but held on with a one run win.

Ruiz looks pretty good.  If every other rightie keeps struggling, he may get some big innings later in the season.

I would definitely give him a shot with a high leverage inning or two over Marshall.
