Alex, I'll go all-in on 'Which period of time are players in 'the best shape of their life'?

He took the only strike and swung at two non-competitive pitches. Horrible. Not a professional AB.

By the end of the year that will once again be the norm for him.

Kristin Campbell hitting .257 in AAA. His agent is a genius getting that contract from the Red Sox. Campbell may never make it back to the bigs.

Great catch. He can't hit so he has to be able to field.

I don't mind players making outs, but when the catcher has to slide to block it from being a wild pitch, I get a little irked.

That's pretty much the MO of most of these Sox players.

his contract is stupid now and it was stupid then. i just hope the Sox FO learns from the idiotic extensions they gave him and Bello.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How good have the Sox starters been? Damn good when you also consider they don't get the opportunity to pitch against their own team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Witt, Jr is the best all-around ball player in MLB.

[Tedballgame]

NEVER make the first or third out at third base. Cardinal rule of baseball. Duran just violated it.

Surely you have heard of Shohei Otani!

I like Witt but there is not one GM in baseball who would trade Ohtani for him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thanks for the help.

Stupid base running by KC

This is true, but you know as well as I do that Duran would have died at 2nd base. It took a perfect play by Witt to throw him out.

[Tedballgame]

Kelly is in. It will be 2-2 soon

Can't disagree with that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another stunning D by Duran. Anthony makes neither of those catches.

Credit where credit's due. The Sox have an excellent defensive OF.

Neither does Masa.

[Tedballgame]

Yoshida can hit everything but homers

[vegasbob]

Trade Masa while he is hot, lol

He's not alone there.

[vegasbob]

Sox struggling again vs an inferior opponent. Small lead and without Duran's save in LF, Kelly would have failed again.

Sorry nothing new here

Masa should have tried for a triple. For the Sox a double is a bridge too far from HP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How do you spell Sox middle relief?

Shite.
