Nice!!!
9 innings? I see Woostah went Reverse
George from an organizational perspective.

Hickey looks bulkier than I remembered from seeing him in Portland.
If he really fills out, he could hit his ceiling as a LHH Mike Napoli.

I just realized that I barely recognize anyone on the WooSox roster.

Been a bit up & down for Hagenman this season, but hopefully he settles into the role.

VLAD is an interesting shoutout. His control has been awful since he got here - 8 walks in 6 innings.

"impressive" and "standing out" aren't necessarily synonymous with "performing well".
But the write up on Vlad is that his stuff at least is definitely impressive and stands out. There's so many of those throughout professional baseball history that never amounted to anything however

Vlad was the move for Smith.

That makes total sense. The Devers and Casas injuries showed how brutally thin the depth in the org is at first and third, and it never hurts to have another OF-capable player in the system. And assuming Grissom clicks at second, there's no path to playing time for Valdez there anyway. Might as well increase the roster versatility.

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but I want to take my 9yr old daughter to her first baseball game this spring/summer and decided that the WooSox is better than going to see the Red Sox since I have no clue at all if she will enjoy it or not (and Worcester is right next door to me).
Is there any particular section I should be looking for that is ideal for a first experience? I assume I can get all the junk food I could want for her, so really, I'm just asking about good seats vs bad seats.

The seats are all pretty decent for viewing in my experience. From an experience standpoint, and if it's a hot sunny day, I'd recommend staying off the Worcester Wall. It's often inhabited by drunken college students and gets brutally hot with no shade.

Sections 1-16 (infield, under the upper deck so you get good shade) are obviously great seats, but more expensive ($30-45). Easy access to concessions and bathrooms

The berm and general admission area by the berm are actually pretty nice too. No shade, but sitting in the cool grass with a drink, watching a game is pretty sweet.

The Hanover deck and bullpen terraces are nice, but depending on where you end up, it might be hard to actually see the game for her as the fencing and the people standing against it can obscure the view for tables that are further back from the edge.

Thanks! That's exactly the type of info I'm looking for...and yeah, I don't want to be sitting amongst a group of obnoxious college students if I can help it even if my daughter already knows all the swear words (yeah ok...sometimes Daddy lets them slip out).

The berm has the added benefit of having a playground area in the event she tires of the game. It isn't the best spot to watch a game from, but probably the most family friendly spot.

Yeah, it's too bad the little playground they had was such a shit show they had to close some of it down a few years ago. We were there when they had to put the tape up on that spinning gazebo structure. It was packed full of kids pushing each other and one kid got their head cracked by it when they tried to get on, got shoved and then smacked by the gazebo as it spun. Poor kid. My daughter and nieces had been on earlier, but decided to abandon it because of the roughhousing.

Anyone else getting Strong Youk vibes from Meidroth? Guy was just underrated (other than his whole BB rate thing)..... didn't look "athletic" but the Sox got some great borderline MVP years out of him

Edit-- Also, initially stopped by here to ask for any updates on Mata....

mwonow · Tuesday at 2:02 PM

I'm probably getting boring on this, but I'm a huge Meidroth stan. All he does is hit (well, and the other baseball stuff that infielders do). Can we please bring him to Boston, and ditch some of the flotsam we've been signing?

And yeah, Youk or (ducking and squinting hard) Pedey? Kind of the anti-Mikey/Nazzan, no hype, lots of performance.

What's his defense like? I honestly don't know much about him, but he came up as a 2B but has moved to 3B, right? Any 1B appearances? Would really love to have a future utility superstar combo of Rafaela and Meidroth (this is in the very unlikely chance that Bleis and Anthony both move up to become the best versions of what we hope in the OF, and also Meyer at SS and Grissom.)

Edit- also I'm aware that using guys like him to extract other teams starters is a good strategy too.

LogansDad · Tuesday at 10:11 PM

I think I would give Cooper and Dom Smith another week or so. They have both been okay MLB players in the past, and hopefully will contribute in some way once they get their legs back under them. If they still look like they do right now, say, at the end of the Nats series, I think you have to start thinking about calling Meidroth up.

The guy is just a baller, and while either of Cooper/Smith probably give the team a bit more power potential, they need guys who can get on base, which is kind of Meidroth's bread and butter.
