Seby can't get here fast enough. Looks like Castillo's Baltimore season was entirely a product of the juice.

Yolmer looks so bad, I'm afraid something might be wrong. It's like the second act of "Pride of the Yankees" or something. Looking this bad after being an average player is disturbing.

This is not the bullpen's fault. Fry threw a tailor-made DP. The first two hits against Burr were ultra cheap, especially Voit's. But if you can't make routine plays, you have no chance.

Why aren't both at fault? Ricky overmanaged the heck out of this game. He made a bunch of moves he didn't have to make and they blew up in his frickin' face.

Man, two lucky hits in a row. Thanks Yolmer.

What they hell is up with Yolmer? He's not a great player, obviously, but is there something wrong with him physically?

Ugh. Rick Renteria overmanaging himself out of the league. I know this year doesn't matter, but when things do matter, I want basically anyone else.

This strike zone is huge.

This pinch hitting moment makes no freaking sense. In a 0-0 game, nobody on, you pinch hit? What if you need a pinch runner later?

We are really playing the Yankees at the right time. This lineup only has a few major leaguers in it.

He has been very lucky with injuries to Cordell, Tilson, and Robert to get every opportunity. Now, with Robert surging, the clock is really ticking. If he starts hitting now, it probably won't matter. Robert is faster, better defensively, better arm, more power, already cost the team $52 million. Engel is playing for other teams at this point.

This is unwatchable. Slow working. Nibbling when he gets ahead. 1 man pace of play crisis.

At the game. Yankee fans feeling grumpy.

Before we drafted him? Nothing we can do about it now.

All you're doing is hurting yourself. That certain shortstop is going to be real good. I'd enjoy Eloy for the player he is and try to forget about that other guy unless you are a complete masochist. The two have nothing to do with each other.

Team USA uses wood bats.

I think we have to give Nova a little benefit of the doubt for this inning. He labored, but Seattle is hot right now. Every duck snort they hit fell in. Whoever plays them in three weeks is going to benefit from Babip regression.

Supposedly the math indicates you want your best hitter hitting second. Castillo in the clean up spot is an oddity.

It was a tapper that somehow bled through though.

Verrrrry early. Let’s give it a couple of weeks. I am not a big Madrigal believer, but even I am not going to jump on like 3 games.

HBP in second AB. Madrigal still 0 for season.

Sadly for them, who cares? Sox have $52 million invested in Robert. That’s more than they just gave Jimenez. Whatever is best for his development will be done.

Yeah, he’s got an oblique or something. Last I heard he was going to stay in extended a while, but it didn’t sound serious

Cooper taught Lopez a slider. He still may not be that good, but that is not nothing.

They will figure out the bullpen. With Ruiz already up and Hamilton, Burdi, Thompson, and Viera in AAA, they can mix and match until they find the right combo. As far as defense, I don’t think Yolmer is going to make 100 errors, but who knows?
