Arenado bobble. Wow.

LOL Madrigal has to be so frustrating for other teams.

I would assume the Sox explored Gallo as part of the Mazara and/or Lynn discussions. I think there were rumors to that effect, too. I assume if they didn't trade for him then the price was too high, and I doubt it's come down a ton - Gallo has not hit for power this year so he might be a bit more reasonable, but losing the main reason you'd acquire him makes me really nervous. Overall I really don't think the Sox will be making any moves for an outfielder, especially right now. It's still early enough where a number of teams still have hope, so your market is limited to the bottom feeders outside our division, and you don't have too many options there. By the time more teams are looking to make trades you'll be near the deadline and you might be close to getting Eloy and Robert back, so why make a trade? You can run just fine with Eloy/Robert/Vaughn/Engel/Eaton.

Mercedes is watching pitches, which you should be doing with this guy instead of swinging at everything

4 of those came in one game. 1 run over 2 games before that. They're lucky they had a chance to win 2 of the 3.

I did not expect a triple play

I love Abreu but he's gonna have to start recognizing that he won't get a pitch to hit sometimes, and Yermin behind him can drive runs in too.

Madrigal needs to stop swinging at literally everything. He's got such great contact skills he can be highly selective.

Montgomery has been busting them in with fastballs all night. Can't go the other way with that.

Nice strategy there - give the Yankees a false sense of hope.

Beyond the 16 run explosion, offense not great since the KC series.

We needed this from Giolito - if he has his stuff back with the way this rotation is pitching... oh man.

Honestly I'm glad the game is over in 9 so I don't have to watch the terrible extra inning format.

You knew this was happening

Eaton is bad

Yermin slightly too quick twice tonight

Vaughn seems to have trouble with this guy

Ok that one he was right

Yermin should pull Eaton aside and give him a talking to about shortening up with two strikes. Play the game the right way.

As bad as they looked against the Royals at times in that series... this is the exact opposite.

Stone: "Yoan didn't hustle into first there on that single. Real lack of effort"

Stone: "Moncada should've hit that ball harder and higher. Real lack of hustle."

STOP BUNTING

Stone should get after Leury for being bad

Why is Stone complaining about Moncada there? Nothing he could do
