Martin against Paddack. 4th game in and already nobody wants to make a game thread. Sox fans are a beaten down bunch.

How can we lose with a future hall of fame announcer starting the thread.

No Beni :) No Chase :(

lmao, we are playing Colson at 3B in order to get Peters in CF? MAKE IT FUCKING MAKE SENSE I HATE THIS FUCKING TEAM

I just figure I hogged them in spring training. Give somebody else a shot at a fun title.

Yep, so insane. The more likely reason is they’re prepping him for Roch. This is an organization that drafted a SS that struggles to hit in the first round because up the middle depth means so much, and now Colson isn’t even playing there.

Fun title? Fun title? I just hope we can win a damn game.

Prepping him for something that won't even happen until this time next year assuming the best case with Roch's health and development. Dumbass fucking team.

I'll criticize this organization for pretty much anything but mixing Colson in at 3B is fine.

If he doesn't outgrow SS one of Carlson or Cholowsky will push him off the position in the future anyway.

He’s been good there though, why not let him show you he can’t play there?

That's kind of where I am. Dude has been decent at SS. Until someone comes along to beat him out, and has a bat enough to do it, let him cook. Be different if we had drafted Roch and he was knocking on the door, but that is at least a year away still.

So Peters is Venable’s starting CF against righties? Moving Colson off of SS to play Acuna there?

A weak roster provided by a weak GM with Venable making lineup decisions like Grifol.

Apparently not much has changed.

Carlson is 19 years old. He’s not pushing anyone right now. For all we know, he could be moved to CF at some point if Acuna is a bust.

I get the Cholowsky argument to some extent but he still needs to be drafted and get some MILB at bats first.

I don't think there is any downside to maximizing Colson's (or basically any other players) positional versatility.

Max, Carlson has to be 4 years away from MLB if he stays with Sox.

Sounds like Swallow fans are use to misery, will fit right in with us.

About as wholesome as Jerry living to 110.

Stone out, Schriff and Bacon today. (I assume for the series)

Is he sick or did he just not want to fly to Florida?

Probably the latter. He has been skipping east coast trips the last couple years (in addition to the west coast he has already been skipping)

I’m just gonna worry about how Mune, the Montgomerys, guys like Meidroth, Antonacci and the Charlotte pitchers. JRs medical reports. None of the rest of this matters. Along those lines, things are going according to plan for the most part. I will choose to be happy!

That was my guess. Oh the irony of ditching Benetti for Schriffen due to his other work obligations when our other announcer won’t even travel to Florida for the second series of the season.

Do we know why Chase is sitting? 3 games in a row too tough for him? Did he tweak something yesterday?

Not even a good AAA lineup tonight
