Dear God why did I go to bed lol. should have known better. Goosebumps watching these highlights. Have not yet experienced the Sox like this as an adult fan. Sure is amazing. Love these guys.

What a great night and a magical walk off for Braden!

Trade Grichuk

Unbelievable! Does the pope seriously have something to do with this season? I'll remain a devil worshipping heathen regardless but I'm starting to wonder haha

Agreed, but I wouldn’t look to trade him until Hays is closer to returning which probably won’t be for a month. Either way, you probably aren’t getting back much for Grichuk and with our luck Hays will probably get reinjured as soon as he comes back. But Grichuk and Hays on the same roster would be redundant, and as bad as he has been I think I’d rather keep Acuna just for pinch running and his “ability” to play CF. He can’t hit but his speed to steal bases could be a difference maker in close games (11 SB with only 1 CS).

When teel and mune are back this team will not have a bad hitter in the lineup. Platoon grichuk and beni. Gonzo off the bench is nice too.

Antonacci

Mune

Vargas

Colson

Meidroth

Braden

Peters

Teel

Beni/Grichuk

Bench of gonzo, quero, Pereira, hill?

Tough to have gonzo not getting in as a regular if he continues producing. Not ideal for his development. I almost wonder if Chase should move to a bench role.

We’d have to rotate them across various spots to keep everyone fresh and regular I suppose until Beni is cut finally.

But even he has been on a tear lately.

Seriously haven’t been this jazzed about the Sox since 05.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

I didn't want to jinx it by saying he picked Crede's number, but f*** it. Braden has the clutch gene

Radio call ICYMI

Radio call way better than Costas and Stone. Thanks Len. Dare I say I miss Schriff?

Amazing, simply amazing and truly unbelievable as 2 years ago the Sox were probably the worst team in MLB history and here they are quite possibly post-season contenders, this has to be the biggest turn-around ever in the history of the game.

I still say 1977 was the most fun Sox season that I have experienced but this crew looks like it might over take the Southside Hitmen.

The boys cut up Atlanta like they were a jersey they hated.

"He's home"

I love that.

Excited for Hagan to come up and throw 7 shutout innings.

I also beg of you all to stop calling games over in like the third inning. They always make it at least interesting.

Trade Grichuk

You’d rather keep Acuna over Grichuk? A guy who is the second worst hitter in baseball and can’t even execute a squeeze instead of the guy who Is one of the best hitters in baseball against LHP?

With Gonzalez playing more than well enough to stick around, Acuña is expendable.

I’d rather see Benintendi go. He’s actually hit well against RHP when in the DH spot (114 wRC+), but he kills your roster flexibility since he can’t play the field at all. Doing so allows you to rotate various guys through the DH spot each day and carry a more versatile roster. Jacob would slot in as the primary DH and then fill in at the other infield spots when guys need a day off.

I’d like to continue to give Meidroth regular starts this season to see if he can further develop against RHP. His current 87 wRC+ against them is playable given his defense, but I think there is room for improvement there. He should definitely be moved down in the lineup against RHP though. And if he doesn’t improve, then I’m ok with moving him to a reserve as soon as a better option presents itself (like Roch). But right now, Chase is a top 10 2B per fWAR and a vital part of the clubhouse, so really don’t want to rock the boat with him.

So nice looking at that stat line from a RF.

I agree. I get Acuna brings some value with defensive versatility and running, but just don’t see how that warrants a roster spot when he simply can’t hit at all.

Yeah. Looks brutal. Wonder if they change tomorrow's game to an afternoon one to get it in.

Did we get anyone else of note in that trade?
