In baseball, "average" does not mean "cheap and easy to find".With the middle infielders we have in the org, he's going to be gone. Antonacci is obviously a much better option at 2B. When Baldwin returns next season, you think Chase will be starting? No chance. Best case he is a bench bat.

2 hours ago2 hr Easy to see why Meidroth swung at the first one. He was looking to get the ball in the air and knew with a sinkerballer on the mound you better take advantage of anything high. It was (barely) a strike but he clearly wasn't ready for how much it ran in on him so he barely got enough of it for it to carry out of play. Then 3-1 it's lower and again the sinker does its thing and bores in on him. In hindsight, should have been taking on anything inside from Armstrong given Chase's and Armstrong's tendencies. He probably just didn't think it was going to be inside. Of course, if he hit it 5 feet left or right they're probably still playing.
2 hours ago2 hr Venable absolutely must get Meidroth out of he middle of the order. He is not an RBI guy. I’d play Grichuk vs both lefties and righties and put him 5th.

Brooks has no defensive position, Meidroth is a glove-first player who is likely to out-hit Brooks.

2 hours ago2 hr 3 minutes ago, caulfield12 said:We'll see if Baldwin can beat him out.More speed and power, but defense was a mess last year.Baldwin lf/Antonacci 2B or keeping things status quo for 2027?If feels like 90% of Sox players can man 2b including Antonacci, Baldwin, Nishida, Gonzalez, Bergolla, and probably Roch Cholowsky. So that isn’t an issue. But Meidroth has been pretty good for them. This is just one bad game.
2 hours ago2 hr 1 minute ago, fathom said:Is he so far off the plate it’s causing him to dive too much?I feel like Shomon has got him in a pretty weird state where he's getting a little bit of power production that he didn't have last year but it has his whole approach teetering on disaster. The overall numbers are basically okay but as you are seeing aesthetically it's a lot less steady than the guy we saw last year.

When Baldwin returns next season, you think Chase will be starting? No chance. Best case he is a bench bat.Baldwin still has a lot to prove as much as I like him. Has to prove he can play defense and has to prove he can still be the hitter he was in the 2nd half of 2025. This was supposed to be his year to do that but alas.

Even Will Venable thought Baldwin was poised for a big year before he got hurt. Kid can hit.
2 hours ago2 hr I know they took the series and that is worth noting but to me this one hurt again like Sunday.After that 9th inning they had momentum then in the 10th, bases loaded, one out and you can't get the guy home from third?Fundamentals, pure fundamentals.God I hate the friggin' Manfred rule with a passion.Get the day off and see what they can do against a K.C. team that is (or was) missing some key players. They should have swept these bastards today.
