Literally tthought that said "sprained his ankle" and about threw my computer out the window.

Our starting pitching is going to be the main reason we lose games from here on out. Not that we will lose this one, just saying.

That;s probably a good 14-18 more starts

Poor man's Jose Quintana is exactly right.

When was the last time Francona missed the playoffs? Might be the first time in many years since he has

Get hotttt Yonder and Eloy Stay Hot McCann

yesssss!!!!!!

Wow Perez

If Lindor caught that Yonder would've been out at 3rd

James McCann I love you

Omg Yonder is now gonna bat 4th for like another month. He was almost out on that lol, Nice hit anyway

I think Moncada struggling last year and then starting to break out of it this year has allowed us to have a longer leash for Jimenez. I think Moncada also has a higher expectation on him based on who we gave up to get him.

With a decent rotation, this team could be 10 games over .500 come september. With the rotation they have now...I'm surprised they haven't lost more games than they have. Literally the only reliable pitcher is Giolito. And it's amazing because he is not only reliable, he is absolutely dominant. What a change next year will be with Kopech and Cease, my goodness. End this Covey train.

I for one am interested to see what happens when they bring Jay into the fold. He's gonna start, but our outfield right now is good with Tilson, Leury and Eloy. Tilson is hitting the ball very well and keeping that average around .300, so they would be foolish to sit him. Leury has been a great option for lead-off, so I doubt they move him out of the lineup, and Eloy will not be removed obviously. My guess is, he takes Cordell's spot on the team. What I would like to happen, if Jay really has to be here, is he takes over in left or center, Eloy moves to DH or learns how to play first, and Yonder sits his rich ass on the pine. Better yet, DFA him. What I think will happen is Jay takes over in center, Leury is moved to 2nd, and Yolmer gets the short stick. Leury then would primarily play second while spelling players here and there who need rest at different positions. Yonder still gets his ABs.

I agree with this, but the very real injury factor is what worries me.

Ohhh fuuccckckkkk

Cmon Tim pimp this one

Good thing Gio spared the pen last night

Stony the prophet

Yeah...I guess we never really had one since Jim Thome.

Oh Yonder with the warning track power

Yooooooo

Would this be the first sweep of the season?

Theres yer answer. Leadoff hit for Leury and they just showed a graphic where he is in the top 5 of most successful leadoff hitters currently in the league.

Literally the only issue I have with the lineup is Yonder...and if thats it then I can live with that. Just kind of finny our worst hitter is our designated....hitter....
