Most predictable start to this half inning ever.

Montgomery looks really comfortable at the plate. Pretty good ABs and solid discipline.

Honestly that would’ve been the spot to actually lay one down.

Vasil definitely put a spell on Will prior to that AB to disable his ability to make any calls.

DO IT WILL. I FUCKING DARE YOU.

Weiss and Venable sword fighting with pool noodles, presently.

INCREDIBLY athletic play by Davis. Kept us in it. LET’S GET SOME…bunts.

This broadcast and the bunting combined is making me want to go find a cliff.

It’s just dumb. We’re good enough we can’t have our manager galaxy braining these situations MULTIPLE TIMES against the best team in baseball.

BUNTS. We’ve done it TWICE tonight now.

Stone calls Will a tremendous young manager. Will has Drew Romo attempt to bring Randal Grichuk home via a bunt 3x.

Great set of innings from Newcomb. Surprised that last pitch wasn’t challenged.

He’s in there all day. What did they not see there?

Sandlin, get ‘em next time, buddy. Just could not find it the last two innings.

BENI BOMB

DON’T STOP NOW BOYS! Willy’s boys DON’T QUIT.

I’d actually swap Hays for Acuña at this point and keep Rikuu up for the time being. Culture matters and I think Rikuu, right now, fits that better than LA, all other stats being realistically equal.

A GM is only as good as the $$ he’s allocated. If you look back over the course of 2.25 seasons, Getz actually is doing a great job. Beni absolutely was an atrocious contract, but CG has made some solid signings, solid draft picks, and has built us from the worst team in baseball into what appears to be a playoff contending team, all without the ability to spend like even a mid-tier club in terms of payroll.

He’s got the stuff to be great. Actually might benefit us that he went through some MLB growing pains with CLE and then got returned to us.

I read that whole post confused if Hanser Alberto or Matt Wallner was the former Sox player I couldn’t recall.

Gonzo had some phenomenal ABs today and a big hit that ended up pushing the winning run across. If he can hit .250+ with a little power, we should be able to at least play .500 baseball over the next 2-3 weeks—assuming everyone else keeps trending. That would be huge if we could come out of the NYY series still 2-3 games above .500.

Rikuu is going to be legit.

I do it for the Big Hurt, my guy!

Only because of my erection after that blast.
