Sosa should not be at first.

And he tripled in his 2nd AB

Of course Baldwin homered on the first pitch he saw tonight in Charlotte

101.7 and went 407 according to the broadcast.

Two were looking. It looked like he got out guessed both times. Also, he seems to constantly be behind in the count.

Location and movement is much more important that velocity. Just go watch anyone talk about hitting a 100 mph straight fastball vs a 92 mph with movement.

Or he could be a pitcher and not just a thrower?

Did I miss hear or did he say Haegan Smith would be pitching in Chicago next week?

I mean it had almost a 90% hit probability.

I just logged in to say the same thing. It wasn’t even a borderline missed call. It was center cut. Cost Cannon a run.

He's 22 and came straight from AA. He did really well before getting injured. He seemed to have an idea at the plate as he didnt chase bad pitches. He's been young for every stop of his career so far. This to me screams more of a move to try and save Grifol then anything to do with Bryan.

Im sure it is. I just dont get how much longer they want to keep a 25 year old OF in the minors. And Gio had 3 months of control headed to Free Agency. Fedde is cost controled for a year and a half at 7.5. Thats 5th starter level contract.

Would Baltimore trade Kjerstad for Fedde in a one for one or is that just insane?

Yikes how?

He's been all over the place. Also, why is Ortega playing? I can honestly say I dont even know what the "thinking" behind it is?

The pipeline says he's 5'6" in the box and the write up says 5'9". I would think hes closer to 5'9". He doesnt look smaller then Madrigal in those videos above.

Ty Schmit from McAfee show says its done with Yankees for $326 over 9 Years. No idea how credible he is.

I dont discount that he's not in the Sox future. But I tend to be on the side that 2020 (COVID year) and 2022 were his only bad years while everyone around here acts like he's been a waste of roster space his entire career. I think in some ways he gets an awful reputation around here for things like "all he does is party" when I'm not sure that anyone around here actually knows that he case. He made music in the off season and everyone equated that to he doesnt give a s%*# about baseball which I think is an unfair assumption as well.

I believe it was mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he was finally feeling better. He came off the DL for his back on July 25th the last time. Which does line up with this....

Its almost like a bad back can really screw you up. There was no way to know this though. They've only being playing baseball for over a century. Maybe when they pass 2 centuries someone will figure out if a bad back affects play or not.

107.5 off the bat. Almost his hardest hit ball of the year.

It's incredible that they feel the need to play him at all, especially in the outfield.

Calling him a moron is probably one of the nicer adjectives that you can use to describe him. Also, he doesn’t have any sources. Just because he works for the score doesn’t mean he has any idea what happens in that organization. I can promise you from experience that just because you work in radio it doesn’t not translate to being in the know about anything. You’re more likely to hear personal opinions or inner workings talk then you are about clubhouse or players. Also, I will add that while everyone likes to say how horrible the organization is from an on field perspective, which is totally fine to do, there are some great people who work there and they do treat people incredibly well.

So this is a thread to complain in just for the gratification of complaining some more. Got it.
