@ChiliIrishHammock24 GTFIH. Quit running from who you are. You know you're the official soxtalk nicknamer. You can't escape it! It's your burden!

The Big Magician

HoT FiRe was the creation of @ChiliIrishHammock24. It is the greatest nickname ever created and will never be matched.

What about Little Marco Rubio?

Hopefully he will be managing Robert in the near future

He wasn't even that great last year. He is sporting a -1.1 fWAR and -41 wRC! Think about that. He's done that poorly in so few at bats. He is so bad. I know you can't look at some things without rose colored glasses, but he's been that awful

We actually owe the Big Hurt credit.

But you can definitively say it was Leur's fault I see

President Martin Van Buren was nicknamed the little magician, so everybody bashing it can slow their roll. If it was fit for a president, it's fit for a baseball player

Really disappointing Leury sac bunted when he is so hot and Hendricks is tossing up meatballs

Jose missed a complete meatball there

HR for walker. I know there were rumors about him moving to AA. I'm excited about him, but he didn't exactly torch A+

Then he gets hosed by a bad strike call. I'm so ready for robotic umpires

Bring them all up today

I have a feeling this game will get chippy. We're going to see some sweet chin music out there

Definitely excited about this draft. I like the strategy they employed. Will Dalquist or Thompson be pitching again this season?

Jose is 17th is wOBA and 14th in wRC+. He's pretty middle of the pack as far as starting 1st basemen go. I don't think any team goes crazy and gives him more than 3y/36m, at most

I missed the play. Did stone hands miss it?

It's still going strong. I'm going to ask Nick in person at an autograph signing and get picture proof

Giolito vs Lester. Let's go! Gio he's revenge today.

Not a bad take. People scoffed at the question. Nicky is destroying AA though. He could be major league ready now TBH

Call me when he's on cash cab and maybe i'll listen

2-4 with a Homer and 2 BBs. That's 26 walks to 18 strikeouts so far. I get that pitchers are wild down there, but this dude is exciting.

There is a reason we kept seeing him at 1st while a better fielding Alonso was the DH. Abreu better settle into that DH role and accept it. His defense will only get worse.

I'll ban bet you that he makes the majors by opening day 2021
