The problem is he does show it on fastballs, looked a little better today but it's still creeping above the glove a hair. 

He had his A++ stuff today. You can get away with it when you throw 100 and can keep the slider in the zone. 

As good as Hendriks has looked in a Sox uniform.  Good series tie

Gavin Sheets has 237 PA going into today in 70 games? Your point is? 

70 games is enough of a sample size but 31 isn't? 

You are arguing that both suck here and now.  That may be.  All I am saying is that Burger deserves a longer look.  Burger might not amount to anything more, but he can at least play a passable 3rd where as Sheets is just awful anywhere you put him on the field.  Simply being Left Handed means jack shit to me if you are starting to look like Daniel Palka.  

The Angels have been playing good baseball and are leading in the West.

We just split a 4 game home series with them.

Outstanding, no.

Acceptable, yes.

Better, absolutely.

I think….I just enjoyed watching a Sox game? Rare this season, feels weird

But love to see the pitching staff dominant and good overall team play. Offense still needs to be better, but at least the D was solid and no stupid mistakes took us out of the game

Def, he just needs to be able to control the stuff and it doesn't matter.

I think a lot of the Sheets hate is because Tony plays him over Vaughn and in RF. Nothing to do with him, all about his usage. 

My hate for him is he was a nice story in 2021 but far too much stock was put into it by the FO.  He’s just this year’s Delmonico or Palka.

Golden Sombrero for Trout! That's rarer than winning the world series. Send home plate to Cooperstown. 

Little known rule 94.568.33 states anyone who suffers a Golden Sombrero in any season is automatically eliminated from MVP consideration for that season....Sorry Mike....them's the breaks.

Hendriks . man, was he fired up!!

Hendriks was on a mission out there.  Taking no prisoners.

Good win boys. Great job by Cease and Hendricks.

Jo Addell might be one of the worst outfielders I've ever seen. Especially for a guy who's pretty fast. 

Jo Adell is the most overrated prospect in MLB history

That's a bit of an exaggeration, he's not even the most overrated Angels prospect of the last decade+. Brandon Wood was #3 in all of baseball and he was a complete Hack.

Adell still may figure it out with the bat. He's had some flashes.

This was one of those busy work days and as I read through Soxtalk as a have a free moment and no knowledge of the game.

Dylan Cease seems to have won over Soxtalk and Gavin Sheets not so much.

Hopefully there is some positive movement with this team.

Was the #1 MLB prospect for several years, will take the under ...

He's no Dylan Cease, that we can agree on

Wow Brandon Wood talk bout overrated

For all the times people talk about sample sizes and the need for lefty power, with the rest of the guys in the lineup also struggling and Gavin's performance last year and clearly being the heavy in the Vaughn playing time saga I'm sorry but I'm not seeing a lot of fairness towards him. It has always been about Vaughn and it will continue to be. All that being said Sheets has to step it up along with many of the others getting significant AB's.

Given how badly most of the board wanted to pay  Conforto I'm not real comfortable trusting most of who are the same guys shitting on Sheets. Sheets takes AB's away from Vaughn and he isn't Conforto and  there's a lot of misdirected anger at him.

Jarred Kelenic is willing to fight for it.

Well he’s been pretty terrible AND is a pitiful defender so that doesn’t help.

Just checked his stats and woooooooof striking out just under half his at bats isn't too good

A bit melodramatic but we might look back on this win as a singularly  important turning point in Sox season. Both because Cease had the weight of the world on his shoulders and was up to the task as and, had he not been, it would be hard for anyone to be optimistic about the rest of the season despite being this early in the year.
