Eloy not showing a lot of patience up there today.

That counts as ‘something’ I guess...

Show me something EE.

Harvey out already. Only 40 pitches.

Grandal! 1-0!

Sometimes RR lucks into having made the right call ?

Yolmer made contact!

Rack Em Up!

I think DK would defer to Giolito. Gio has shown nothing to convey that he would get complacent or that he isn’t constantly working to improve.

A lot of weak contact to this point. Sure would be nice if a guy with excellent bat control were in the lineup to lead off the next inning...

Gio threw a no hitter and has helped anchor this staff. What does he have to earn back?

He gone! 123 1st for Keuchel.

I can get behind that as well. But until that happens, he has to be dropped down. Can’t keep having that black hole in the middle of the order.

Can we drop EE out of the cleanup spot already?

TA stranded.

Abreu hits right into the shift. TA to 3rd.

1st pitch running. Love to see it.

TA steals 2nd easily.

Liner right to 2nd. Damns.

Low strike call there

TA starts it off with a single back through the middle.

Perfect example of why I was not overly interested in a Yolmer Sanchez reunion, but I'm sure Madrigal needs those two days off...

ROY is Robert's to lose. Same for TA and the batting title. TA and Abreu should both get a few MVP votes but both feel like long shots to me. Giolio has a no hitter and is one of the leaders in Ks. Haven't paid enough enough attention to other pitching but I would imagine Beiber is the CY leader.

I expected this thread to be about the three way chase for the division, similar to 2006. But, um, what?

If the Sox don't non-tender him, he's going to have to adjust to not starting. I just can't see the FO going into next season, a season with real expectations, penciling Rodon in every 5th day again. Too many question marks in the rotation as it is. At best he is the long man/spot starter/piggy back off Cease & Dunning until Kopech is up.
