Jose Abreu

Well, here we have someone who doesn't get the difference between reacting to an accomplishment and directly taunting somebody.

I mean we could have used Engel in the OF and let Castillo catch but we would then sacrifice the DH, meaning the pitcher would have to bat. Meaningless now of course

Since Palka and Engel have been used, the bench would be empty. Nobody would be available to replace whoever gets benched

They can't do this because one of Castillo or Narvaez would then need to play in the field, with no other bench players available edit- in the event that we tie

Hey look who's pitching, Mr. Biblically Evil!

Thanks for the out, Yost!

Funny, I just watched that last week. I kinda see it

Yoan ?

Luckily he's one of 2 relievers who I trust

If we get out of this...

Smart play Yolmer

Stop celebrating, Salvy.

A bunch of really terrific ABs that inning.

His newfound discipline is really refreshing. I'm starting to come around on him

Abreu must be even more angry now...

I'm in the minority but I think Moncada looks good from the right side. Not as good as from the left but still good enough to warrant him switch hitting

Given how many times Davidson has been screwed this year by bad calls on 3-2, I don't feel bad

Great outing for Santiago, given that he isn't too stretched out

Yoan's xWOBA is still 33 points better than his wOBA. So even with this recent "surge" (which is more the law of averages playing out than some newfound skill or hot streak), he should get even better.

He seemed a lot angrier today

I don't think I've ever seen him that mad, ever

I think you're on your own. If Tim did something to show up the opponent, I'd be mad. But attempting to steal a base and exclaiming after a home run don't fall into that category. Anything else he did was a reaction to the opponents.

The Royals are the last team who need to be taking exception with this kind of stuff

Palka

Manfred loved this game
