How about Stiever, Adolfo, and Beard for Lynn? Is that not enough?

What is our record entering the 9th inning with a lead since we acquired Colome?

I'm glad he will be able to get consistent live at-bats now. Sure, we don't have an emergency catcher anymore, but I don't think that matters as much as people seem to think. You can still DH Grandal every once in a while. If something goes wrong, you lose the DH for that one game, which isn't the end of the world.

In other words, we just got Dyson for nothing at all.

Exactly. There aren't any coaches who will force somebody to change if the player is successful. This whole idea of Coop and Bauer clashing is stupid, in my opinion.

"Like Lucas and James are a team...so are we." Absolutely perfect response. I get emotional just thinking about that moment.

As bad as Mazara has been, I didn't realize his OPB was up at .344. The slugging is obviously embarrassing, but at least he's getting on base.

Time for Mazara's first HR.

I really don't think his injury was much of anything. It was probably a slight roll of the ankle where you get up and don't feel anything shortly after.

It’s a really tough decision, to be honest. You don’t want to change anything with Abreu after those two games. McCann will be catching, most likely. Maybe Grandal is your DH, although his numbers as a DH haven’t been great.

The guy has been a professional since we signed him. He's done nothing but hit with shitty teams and no protection around him. Everybody complained about the extension, and he's as good as ever this year with some actual talent around him. Keep it up, Jose. You've been great. P.S. Suck it, Ron.

I’m asking because I can’t remember a single one.

How many ReyLo fastballs have been put in play so far tonight?

Two great at-bats for Yoan so far.

Doesn’t Mazara hit bombs in games where Lopez starts? I’m expecting his first home run tonight.

I love this, simply because it means Goins will probably have a big hit tonight now.

Ah, yes. Thanks. I was wondering why he was still at second base after the great at-bat my Mendick...but then I forgot about it.

I missed the mini base-running blunder by Luis. What happened?

Very excited for Luis. I’ve always been higher on him than most.

Will Hand still be pitching?

Gotta put Engel in now for defense since you'll want him to start on second base anyway.

Great time for Mazara to hit his first bomb with the Sox. If he doesn't bat this inning, that would be fine, too.

Eh, not lately. CWS is correct.

No...Moncada was on first.
