We had 8 walks. We hit for some power and had some 2 out RBIs. Wilson battled as the emergency starter.  Defense is a WIP but whatever, another solid game. We are making the Rangers look like teams usually make us look, whooping them at bat to bat.

I'll admit that right now the team is better true talent than any point last year, even with Crochet. We've replaced 4-5 smoking craters with average big league players. The staff has done a good job squeezing everything they can out of the rotation so far. If the offense picks it up a bit the bullpen can give up some runs and won't matter as much. Let's hope we can keep showing improvement maybe get to like 30-50 by the end of June, just play a solid stretch of baseball.

Reaching for the stars, I see.  We should definitely be proud of Jerry and Getz.

Right now with Meidroth looking so good and Vargas some of the stink is off Getz. Don't get me wrong, he's still made some absolutely awful moves, but if you nail a couple trades, well suddenly there's some green shoots and it makes up for the stinkers.

Sosa now officially with a wRC+ of 100. Kid hits the ball hard. He even took a walk today. Defense is a WIP but he has range and if he hits league average he's an easy regular for his career at 2B.

Good lord, dude. It’s hilarious the Sox are better than them. But don’t let me stop you from bringing up Getz whenever you can.

I'm just poking fun at the O's, man. You actually don't have to "counter" every post that doesn't come with explicit criticism of the Sox FO as if it's an endorsement. 

Reminds me of that old Twitter meme...

Spoiler

Mai Tai with an 11 game hit streak.

Robert liked playing in the sunshine today.

Nice job by Wilson in the emergency start.

Great job by Vasil in relief.

Sosa just missed a granny and settled for the 3 run double high off the LF wall.

Palacios got almost instant redemption after he dropped a routine fly ball by smashing a 2 run HR his next time up .

on the postgame he said it's the pope celly.

I'm surprised Beni isn't getting more love from us traditionalist fans and more love from the tank/rebuild people. The guys is a real big league hitter. Very surprising a contender doesn't try to pry him away from the Sox. He's worth the $ he makes. He's a good ballplayer. Is this Sosa guy a budding star? Sox had the lift and pull working today.

I’m a Benintendi fan, he received a lot of hate his first year but he had a really bad wrist. Not the best left fielder but if he stays healthy he should be good for 20 homers, 80 rbi and a OPS around .780.

Sox got two extra outs in their big inning, and they took advantage. It was the best inning of the season.

Beni is one of the few players on the roster who could have played for all our playoff teams thru history. Maybe the only one.
