Isn’t be pretty slow though?

4.1 second home to first speed... so I think his speed ratings below 40 are wack. He also is known for getting fantastic reads at short which would translate well in center... so while it wouldn't be plan A, knowing it's a viable option is something that makes me dream.

Will, if you were gonna throw Hudson anyways, you should have just let him pitch this inning.

It was strange yesterday reading those "power rankngs" the Sox were no. 8.

Yes the Sox are better but there are a lot of teams that got worse.

If/when he’s moved off SS, LF seems the obvious fit to me

How early will we see Seranthony this evening?

I'm going with the 8th.

We have a 6 run lead 😆

This Orioles lineup has a ton of firepower…Schweitzer just makes me nervous given how his first appearances went.

Is Jackson Holliday any good?

This is the worst iteration of the American League that I have ever seen in my 25+ years of watching baseball.

I will say the 7th and see if we can get 2 clean innings.

Seems to me that our next bastard child positional hole is going to be centerfield... unless I'm blind and Peters actually is good enough to man it for the next few years. I just don't see how we wouldn't be able to find someone better.

PS: I guess if Roch ended up in LF, you're moving Psycho Sam to second and trading Chase or keeping him as the utility guy?

I watched him get BABIP'd in Charlotte, kinda like he's doing here.

I don't even know how Schweitzer is but good job.

Braden can play CF.

This ump is so slow on the call I thought it was Jen Pawol 😄

Looked much better against the lefties

Not really. Huge bust so far. Can't defend his position, league average bat. Looking very Andrew Vaughn like.

Sorry that I ever doubted you, Tyler....but I'm not sure I want to see you in the 7th tonight.

In the last Future Sox profile on him, they mentioned that he could play in center... Things to make ya go hummmmmmm.

There also was an X highlight that showed him ranging into duck snort city to slide for an over the shoulder basket catch... things that should make Sox fans drool for $500, Alex.

I don’t think he’s got the speed for CF unfortunately. If we draft him, he’s going to be somewhere on the left side of the infield and likely SS IMO.

So refreshing that for the first time in a long time, we have nearly too much talent... what a difference a couple years makes.

I’d feel better if we could get 3-4 more runs.

Absolutely - most likely that Roch is at short and colson moves to third with miggy and mune splitting between first and dh.

Whatever adjustment Gonzalez made about a week ago is working.

You're exhibiting traits of 2024/2025 CWS PTSD.

The Sox would be in 2nd place in the NL West.

Probably a good night to use him…if you want to live dangerously. Hudson was warming so he likely gets an inning as well.
