Hit and run, maybe, but not a fan of potentially taking the bat away from TA.

Nice sequence to Engel.

I think the breeze from that Robert homer could have put out the wild fires if the stadium didn't get in its way.

487??!!!

Nice offspeed, had him WAY out in front.

Here we go. Let's hope there are no nerves as their isn't room for error.

And hadn't played for a week.

It would be nice if they told us they were switching back to ESPN!

Crushed it right at him.

YM has been unlucky so far, let's fix that.

Still chasing high.

He might be a wee bit excited.

Blow this open early. Come Eloy, make solid contact.

ESPN2 just switched over to the Sox game.

Wow. He was like 1600 the other day.

You can get some good odds on that.

Hopefully it is Encarnacion, but I will settle for Cordero.

Actually, it was Bossard that rebuild the field at Wrigley some years back. They dug it out and he re-built it from the bottom up for drainage and the like. http://prev.dailyherald.com/story/?id=65153

I will leave that for someone who was there like @Texsox

Good for Jason!

IIRC, I am pretty sure 1919 was best of 9 and we lost 5-3

Just because Dallas had one bad start, doesn't mean he isn't reliable. Watching him leave everything up and struggle with control, and then exit early, I am going to guess we find out after the playoffs that his back is still bothering him.

With Cease getting used yesterday, there are one of two right answers here. Dunning on a short leash Foster as an opener My expectation is that we see Dunning to start and then mix and match as situations present themselves for the rest of the game. The only guy out of the pen who might be limited is Jimmy Cordero who threw 35 pitches yesterday, and you probably don't want to see unless it is an emergency situation anyway. Everyone else should be ready match up by match up, and by situation and score. You have a guy like Rodon if you get down big early to eat some innings, and all of the Sox top set up guys have had minimal usage. On the A's side, they have Hendricks throwing 49 pitches yesterday, plus Diekman going two days in a row. Also of note is Wendelken throwing 38 pitches in game 1.
