Look at all that beautiful red!  I know it gets @tray all hot & heavy too.

And 1st percentile for Z-swing with 85th percentile O-swing shows how selective this dude is.  Kid is a fucking unicorn.

I hope Meidroth’s parents are recording this game for him, including the pregame.  It’s all Meidroth, all the time.

Nothing else matters.  If Meidroth busts, add five years to the rebuild.

I'd still rather see Fletcher than Taylor, Quero than Narvaez, anybody than Amaya

Also, for anyone that doesn't venture into the FutureSox forum, Grant Taylor pitching for the Barons tonight

It’s amazing how many Red Sox fans still love the guy and are rooting for him.  It’s the exact opposite of the usual fans that don’t want to see the prospects they give up in a big trade to excel too much and make the trade look bad for them.

Quero will be here soon enough but Fletcher is aging out (28 at the end of the season).  I’d rather see Canario in this losing season.    Still hoping he sucks enough with the Pirates that they DFA him.  Canario in LF and Benintendi at DH.  Giving at bats to Taylor in a starting role is just such an utter waste.

That’s awesome to hear.  In all seriousness, he’s just a fun prospect to cheer for because his game is all built off of skill vs. physical tools and he’s truly elite at what he excels at.  There just aren’t many prospects with his profile.

Yeah, I realize that but I'm reaching at the outfield positions

Brooks Baldwin looks 14 years old in this interview.

That’s the problem though.  We need more legit OF prospects other than Montgomery and Wolkow.

This season would’ve been perfect to give one playing time.

busting out the 9.5% double IPA's tonight. Let's go Chase!!!

Slater hurt?

Plenty of good seats available.

Sosa at 1B.  Maybe the Sox are already preparing for an eventual Vaughn non-tender?

@Chicago White Sox wanted this as well, haha.

Let's hope the white sox don't rub off on Meidroth

I imagine TLR was proud of that HBP

It was a gorgeous day in Chicago? It's 47 damn degrees Stone. That's a bit chilly for mid April.

So much for this umpire being pitcher friendly

"fluctuating rate field" is the bit the red sox commentator just did. genuinely funny.

Why wait for a non tender when a DFA is quicker...

decent top half of the first, taking my wins where i can

With the sun out for right now, that’s not bad.  Hooded sweatshirt weather once you get the alcohol sweats.
