Where was that play from Madrigal in the A's 2020 division series?

That ball hitting the base made it easier on him. A big juicy hop always helps.

Sox in games with scores more like hockey games

Maybe people also were disappointed in the 40 grade speed that was just showcased on his base running when it was 70+ by most scouts

He was 78th percent tile in sprint speed in 2020 and 74.8% in 2021.

Why take out REYLO?

Reylo hasn't pitched in awhile....why didn't he go longer??

The Madrigal trade was and remains a complete disaster. Sox could have smoothed it over with a acquiring a better 2B, but they didn’t. It was a very bad move.

Yeah not understanding this.  Reylo should have gone at least two.

Pollock being hot garbage thus far while Kimbrel puts it back together just compounds it.

Using Reynaldo as a one inning pitcher is dumb af

The fans were chanting for Ruiz mania and you gotta give fans what they want.

Who the hell cares that he's Linn Manuel Miranda's cousin.....if I'm him I'm pretty annoyed that's why people are talking about him.

Maybe DFAing Keuchel (one can hope)?

If that was Contreras instead of Schwindel that hanging breaking ball is likely 430 feet in the stands.

Ruiz nasty.

Ruiz throws 97 with a plus plus change-up lol

he's just an awesome reliever now, huh

Don't disagree at all.  Just one bad exchange after another.

If he doesn't fuck this up, my check for the club dues will be in the mail in the morning.

There's no bigger fan of Jose Ruiz on this board than @ron883 and I'll happily vouch for him too.
