This ain't good

Graveman with a meatball of all meatballs first pitch

He's channeling Cy Chen

We spent so much of our international spending on those studs though

I take it Walt wouldn't administer steroids into his ass cheeks

Frank speaks very highly of him. Not sure about Robin honestly.

You didn't see him wince when he ran to 1st base that one time recently?

I wonder what Walt Hriniak is up to now a days. Bring him back.

Look at all the years the Sox were in "buy" mode when they were a garbage team. I feel there's no way they sell this year.

Lenyn Sosa though... Love what he's done so far. I'd imagine his value has jumped a bit.

Imagine Hahn on the phone with a GM: "Josh Harrison, Dallas Keuchel and VV are available for the right price."

Pulling a South Side Hit Men here. These 2 guys need to step it up and carry their weight.

Ramos really fell off, wow

Have you ever juiced up? I've always wanted to honestly.

You're all welcome. Instead, I'm met with vitriol. Disgusting.

I don't know what it'll take for this to happen, honestly

I think we all owe Tony an apology if the Sox keep it up

I wonder if he legitimately felt like shit? Or are you absolutely required to disclose if you have cold like symptoms?

How does the covid list work now a days? Do you legitimately have to sit out if you have cold symptoms without a positive test?

I feel there's a reason 6-man rotations are basically never used. The pitchers don't like it and it doesn't work.

Charles Barkley?

https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=gonzal002rom&type=bgl&year=2021 Link above to Romy's split last year. He started off hot in May, then had a more mediocre June. Some months he killed it, like in August (1.076 OPS in 23 games). What's notable about Lenyn is he is 2 years younger than Romy was, he hasn't been cooled off yet while Romy had by now, and his SO% is far superior than Romy's was. Romy had the better BB% in AA (11%), but his SO% was much higher (28.2%). I'm no minor league expert compared to others here, but I understand a high SO% can be telling in regards to how certain players will perform at a higher level. Leury's improvement to a 13.2% SO% is huge. Seems like he's made some great adjustments. Really hope he keeps it up down in AA.

I'm glad they are least suspended him. I wasn't sure they would. At bare minimum, Josh Donaldson's comment was douchey and you have to be a dope to not see the racial undertones behind it or how a black player could take offense to it. I think Donaldson is that douchey dope. He's so fixated on being a dickhead that he tried getting under TA's skin, but didn't even realize how it could be received or the blowback he would get.

The same deadspin that incorrectly went after the biracial 49ers coach Mike McDaniel saying that he shouldn't be a head coach because he is white? I don't understand how the new Deadspin has any readers.

Lenyn Sosa was always a guy that hit pretty decently at each level given his age. He's always been younger for his level. Most scouting reports I read said that he isn't overly athletic, and his ceiling is limited. Usually they peg him as a future utility player. However, this year he is absolutely demolishing the ball while taking the difficult jump to AA. In 38 games (decent sample size), he's batting .368, .431 OBP, .594 SLG, 1.025 OPS. He has 9 HRs so far. He's got a wRC+ of 171. 7.5% BB% and a respectable 13.2% SO%. All while being 22 years old in AA. Is it time we look at him as more than a future utility player? His offense looks ridiculous so far this year. Can he potentially be our future 2B if Yolbert doesn't cut it?
