5 appearances in 6 days for Liam. That was a backbreaker for Boston. Barnes is toast.

Red Sox 0-5 in extra innings.

99. 99. Hendriks is a bulldog.

Someone who didn't look very clearly at the 2018-20 numbers for Harrison and Pollock.

It was a strike and a hanger...should have been clobbered.

$5.5 million. Burger can't lay off the high fastball today.

Burger is at least playing an adequate third and holding his own for someone basically in indie ball just a couple of years ago.

0/6 with RISP. Anderson leading the entire majors with a .322 average since the beginning of the 2019 season.

No walks when Pivetta leading the world in them. Engel just not an everyday player.

Nobody except for minor league diehards expected much of anything out of him or Banks. Persistence paid off.

Well, Sousa definitely did his job.

Ozzie/Yermin 2022

Meanwhile, Luis Gonzalez has been a useful at least replacement level RFer for the Giants this season.

Yermin just might be the spark again, lol. Carlos Perez. Someone. Anyone but Rutherford. They can't keep sending McGuire out there to protect Grandal when both of them suck.

Probably send Ramos the other direction.

The dreaded wrist replacement surgery...

Have to drive that ball to RF, Luis. Season high in K's already.

Pollock is going to have to play everyday because of Vaughn and Sheets being so bad in the OF. Jimenez whenever he returns, sure...the only other alternative is benching him for Leury.

Gil Meche

Excellent work getting out of it against two of their best hitters.

Desperately needed that one.

Can't burn the pen so early every single game. And he's the best pitcher on the team.

Going from what looked like it should be a 2-0 series lead to likely leaving Boston 1-2. Sigh. And the A's have only lost eight in a row.

This is almost more boring than Twins/A's except for Cease. That said, Parkman's guy Duran threw a 97 mph forkball today. That used to be the speed of a Contreras fastball.

Yet he could cost the White Sox $15 million next season... $11-13 million looks more likely right now. 2023 Option escalates $1M each for 400,450,500,550,600 Plate Appearances in 2022
