Wow.

Got to get to this guy soon. Don't want him pushing 6/7 innings.

Moncada doesn't seem to like facing this guy.

Madrigal would absolutely fit on the mid-00s Twins.

This guy is throwing junk right now and he's gotten really lucky.

Pitching around Abreu

Let's get some more, or at least get Flaherty out of there.

Man Jose. Not a strike in the AB

Love walking in a run

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
