Rodon vs. Jeff Hoffman next week will be an 2014 draft match-up, Cease vs. Sonny Gray the other.

Now Eaton is limping...aiyo. Miss timed his leap for the ball.

Bummer for the bottom of the ninth...seemingly. Wish there was a video of Mahomes vs. Kopech in high school, back in 2014!!! 60 scouts in attendance. Patrick beat him with 16 vs. 12 k’s with a no hitter, can’t imagine being in that TX high school league or hitting against Harvard Westlake either, haha. Kopech hitting 98, Mahomes flashing 92-95. Hamilton also poking fun of the Bears for not picking Mahomes.

Let’s just say a range of 90-120, with postseason making the higher range much more likely...especially if Giolito and Keuchel continue to scuffle.

Not really...he knew he got it, but he was kind of diving out over the plate. Not really posting up so much. And the winds were swirling enough that it was possible it could get knocked down to the fence, but he just got the trajectory low enough to cut through the wind.

Tigers suddenly 8-20, run differential -60, yikes. Another #1 overall pick on the way. Twins and Royals with reverse mirror records, 16-9 vs. 9-16.

Declined a scholarship offer to play baseball. I guess this comes back to TA somehow?

Arizona...Sean Elliott. The Gumbees. Steve Kerr, too.

And their own reliever Sandlin. Were really pissed off at Bauers and couldn’t figure out what Jose Ramirez on the base paths was thinking, either. Tom Hamilton’s a solid broadcaster. They’re very forthright/direct in their opinions, don’t hold much of anything back.

This used to be a pretty fast-paced game the first three innings. Too many walks and strikeouts. Kopech looked dominant last inning.

Maton was pretty much a gas can with the Padres. Not so much today, at least so far.

Crazy game.

He’s setting a quick pace, which the fielders must love, especially with the playing conditions.

As long as Gordon Beckham isn’t on the field for another pop-up near the pitcher’s mound...

Home plate umpire is a pretty tough hombre...

Wow...would love to see that route ever replicated again.

Shades of Satchel Paige, who actually pitched for the Indians. But he directed the fielders off the field.

Anderson is going to be getting a massive deal after 2024...from someone.

Could see that one coming...

Shades of Miguel Ascensio for KC back in the day with 16 consecutive balls...

Garcia has had 75% of the key at bats this season it honestly feels like...

Eaton ops threatening to go under 700 this game...early crowing about him aside, he has been solid for the Sox and stayed on the field, so he’s already better than Mazara, which is still a pretty low bar. Sox hitters now 2/19 against McKenzie this season. Abreu and Robert might be in trouble.

McKenzie reminds one of Carl Edwards, Jr. Wisp-thin.

Circus Maximus...

That swirling wind is another reason not to have Lamb in the outfield. At worst, put Leury there (if you don’t trust Vaughn enough) and Madrigal at second...
