We have broken the four-way tie at 5-6 in the AL East, behind the Red Sox and their dominant staff of absolute mediocrities.

How sick is Bo/Vlad tandem? And once Martin is up in July, too sick.

Both of Bichette's homers looked like loud popouts off the bat. He doesn't get cheated. :lol:

All things considered - no Springer, Teoscar, Merryweather, Pearson, Phelps, etc. - hanging in at .500 is not bad.

Don't forget Stripling, Chatwood, Hatch, Yates, Murphy, and Gurriel/Borucki (for COVID vaccine reasons).

Yates? Heck, it's 1918. Anyone wounded in 1915 is a forgotten soul.

Poor shooting mechanics. I would offer him no more than the vet min.

Bo has the most unconventional body type for a big hitter who can't field. Usually it's immobile fat guys. But Bo is lean and spry, he looks like he should be a guy who doesn't hit for power and fields well, but it's the exact opposite with him.

Bo's weirder, because he does the hard bits well. He has very good range, a good arm, and he doesn't commit a tonne of throwing errors for a shortstop (about 1 every 19 nine-inning games in his career, which is perfectly acceptable; Andrelton Simmons commits 1 every 20.5 games for his career). He just has difficulty actually coaxing the ball into his glove on a regular basis.

I still expect him to be a good shortstop when all is said and done, he just needs to stop trying to throw the ball before it's reached him.
