The Cubs aren’t going to be eating any of Bryant’s salary, and they certainly won’t be dealing him to the Sox.

That’s Luis Robert/Mercedes bomb territory there...interestingly, 3 of leading 12 MLB home run hitters started careers with Sox, including Semien and Eduardo Escobar. https://www.mlb.com/news/josh-rojas-takes-homer-from-fernando-tatis-jr Really would be his 16th homer if not for this pretty incredible play. The Astros played infield in, allowed go ahead run in 10th when they opted to take DP instead of nailing Hosmer at home by twenty feet. Announcers were aghast...’that’s the whole point of playing the infield in!” Melancon “blew” first save of year last night due to the runner starting off on second, fwiw. Future FA to be Correa doubles, ties game with no outs still. Melancon goes from 17/17 SVO to 17/19 in two days. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb-fans-were-awe-fernando-015741514.html

AL Central (other four) combined=-108 White Sox=+78

Just hit a game tying three run homer (#15) off Pressly with two outs in top of the 9th in Houston. Had gone 0/4 with 3 k’s and an RBI groundout prior. Don Orsillo went nuts. Ball went way up on the train tracks. No idea yet but distance and EV are going to be off the charts. He and A.Garcia (Rookie of the Year in AL for sure) of the Rangers are just on incredible homer tears. Four consecutive extra inning games for first time in franchise history (4-4 overall.)

Bummer going 2005 Damaso Marte...

Double save. 30+ pitches on the day. No way he can go tmrw with DH on Monday. Heuer and Hamilton saved that one, basically.

Would be Means’ first loss of the season. Guess we want to bring the tying run up there. Liam doesn’t have many walks despite the deep/er counts this year.

The only thing that makes sense with Lynn at 82 pitches is you have to pretty confident your bullpen can hold down the worst team in baseball so that you can keep Lynn as fresh as possible for the second half and postseason. When can you go to them, if not a 3-0 lead against the Orioles...?

Hamilton with two game winning hits on one weekend. Aaron Judge has never even had a walk off HIT in his career...just the walk against the Sox.

First crowd of over 20k on the season. Revenues overflowing the JR coffers for some relief help.

Hendriks up again for save...

Great play by Moncada...Abreu tweaked the ankle again?

Need two veteran relievers more than one outfielder. Mancini has to be unavailable.

Hit him on the back elbow...uh oh. Sox relief corps imploding again.

Play of the game by Hamilton...who definitely isn’t going to be getting sent down.

And this season?

Nick Castellanos...but a minimum of $32 million left on his contract after this year. Would end up blocking Vaughn, Eloy, Abreu, Yermin, Burger, Cespedes/Colas, etc.

Not so, Nugenix is rightfully outraged...

Robert Reich? Paul Krugman? Sherrod Brown? Bernie Bros?

Need Cespedes in action, or Vera, to have something besides Burger/Sheets to be excited about...

I would rather see Abreu benched than win the MVP with so much chaw in his cheeks...are you joining the Jerksticks Brigade?

No way Moncada is 6’2”.

8/56=.143 .499 OPS. We will see how long they let him continue to struggle before trying to get him going again in the minors. 11 strikeouts and 4 walks.
