DFA HIM

USDA Prime!

It's why the game thread is only 2 pages long.

Big pitch from Gio.

Defense from Vaughn!

Offense!

I didn't expect Perez to be the chirpy type, but ok.

What a fucking throw by Seby.

More of this Kopech please.

God damn, Moncada with the sweet recovery.

For real, we're getting mad at Vaughn for this now?

Part me wants to see him get a shot at the minimum.

Massey ruining it for all of his friends.

Sweet molasses of Parnassus. Kopech is straight filth right now.

Padres, Mets and Phillies doing everything they possibly can to validate Jerry's feelings.

This thread is only one mention of Iron Man Joe Crede away from a bingo.

A Sox player playing hurt? That's unpossible.

I love day games (MLB or minor leagues) when I work from home.

It's simple. Everyone that's not Luis Robert plays a new position. Tim Anderson is catcher, that's our layup. Benintendi? DH. Yoan? First base. Burger? Right. Vaughn? Shortstop. Sheets/Eloy? Second base. Yasmani? Third base. Hanser? Left field.

I think Tatis somehow tied the fate of these two teams together.

I was going to make a joke about food delivery apps and burgers, but I can't because this graphic is way too fucking funny as is.

Meanwhile: Lenyn and Oscar continue to crush it in AAA. I just wish it could translate to the bigs. Sosa went 1-5, but it was an oppo HR and he's hitting .386. Colas went 1-3 with a walk, no strike outs. Hitting .386. Clint Frazier with his first Knight's homer. Gladney is having fun.

To be fair, the top picks when the Sox did have a top 4 pick: 2014: Brady Aiken, Tyler Kolek, Carlos Rodon. The other two teams psyched themselves out of picking Rodon and the Sox made the easy best pick. I know Schwarber went next - and the top 13 includes Nola, Conforto and Turner - but Aiken, Kolek and Rodon were the consistently mocked top trio, and Schwarber was a shocker. 2018: Casey Mize, Joey Bart, Alec Bohm, Nick Madrigal, Jonathan India, Jarred Kelenic Yeah. India or Kelenic would have been a better grab. 2019: Adley Rutschman Jr., Bobby Witt Jr., Andrew Vaughn. I think Vaughn's doing fine and should get the benefit of the doubt after being rushed to play OF. But man, do I wish the Sox could have lost 5 more games for Witt (there was no way they were making up 15 games for Adley).
