Not in a race to the finish line.

Is that a euphemism?

    9 wins before May for the first time since 2021. Date to beat for 10 is 5/4. Would you believe the Sox are 3 games back in the wild card race? Lots of early underperformances across the AL, and only s

  • It is nice to see this team win the first game of a series more often this year. I feel like they've had a knack for dropping the first game of a series for quite some time now.

    Colson is currently 7th in all of MLB in RAA defensively on Fangraphs. I think it's time to consider that he's a full time SS until he's in his late 20s.

Both him and the team have said they want to maintain his versatility there, and with all the infielders in the system I'm fine with it.

I'd put Colson on 3rd over almost everyone in the mix but Vargas, but there's more guys that I'd be fine with at short even before you get to Roch.

I just don't like him playing 3B when it's to put Acuna at SS because I'd rather Acuna play almost exclusively CF.

Acuna should be preparing for his role as utility man by playing all over the field at the end of games like this.

No, I really do get it. Whatever the Sox choose to do that's out of the box, you'll whine about incessantly. It's great that you think something. Bare minimum for carbon-based life forms. Maybe write it down on a cardboard sign and walk around an intersection with it.

You think a kid who had played 12 games of 3rd base in his life, and every other game at SS, doesn't want to start everyday in the big leagues at SS? I know you love to spin everything, but please show me him claiming he wants to play elsewhere? Here's an actual quote from him

When asked if he enjoyed playing third more than imagined, Montgomery paused, smiled and said, “I enjoy being in the lineup.”

Being a good solider, while the Sox dick him around with something he's earned 100%.

It's not out of the box to play your best defender at a less valuable position. Just like Getz wasn't actually right about acuna being a switch hitter.

Sox gonna start batting their pitcher instead of DH and we'll hear how they're out of the box thinkers.

Acuna makes Yolmer Sanchez look like a perennial all star.

Sounds like something that would come from the vodka-soaked mind of TLR.

Acuna makes it look like Leury Garcia earned his 3-year, $16.5 million dollar contract.

A little known fact is that on West Coast trips, he would switch to bourbon.

Three of Monty's whopping four starts at 3B were done in the first week. Because it's the Chris Getz White Sox doing it, of course, it must be the wrongy wrongest thing a team could ever do. I like the idea of having multiple options at each of 7 positions on the field for flexibility.

This seems like an unnecessarily hostile response to me saying an occasional Colson 3B start doesn't bother me personally?

The Sox have a multiple primary shortstops in the system, and I currently think Colson projects as the best 3B of the lot. At some point, some (most even) of them are going to play other positions. If preparation for that reality means Colson sometimes plays 3B then I get it.

He does, and currently should, get the overwhelming majority of his time at short. He's very good at it. I feel like you are arguing just to argue, so let's leave it there on what we all agree on.

This one isn’t good for the run differential ground that was made up last night.

light the whole bullpen on fire, just let Taylor know in advance so he can stand somewhere else

It was all fun and games until the cop confiscated McGuire’s sock, thinking it was a gun.

So he never said that. Got it, glad we could agree.

Also, he's the best SS of the lot, so he should stay there since that's the most valuable spot. Glad we cleared that up. You don't bat your best hitter 9th just to add lineup flexibility

Might want to stop throwing Arenado so many fastballs

Colson never implied that Vinnie Capra was a better baseball player than Shane Smith, either, so at least he's smarter than you.

This thread is a s%*# show, need a Mune Shot to set it right
