I have a feeling Moncada has a big night.

Carlos Rodon vs Kevin Nash?

Hopefully he knows the scouting report that Colon will try and get the called 3rd with his 2 seamer running back over the plate.  It's a good pitch for Yoan to hit, but also the type he gives up on.

He was clearly blocking the plate

Well that went south fast. 

#5 Leery Garcia lolol. Usually we have a solid minor leaguer in there. 

I thought Moncada was supposed to have 70 grade speed? Sure didn't look like it on the play at the plate. 

How MANY times has that happened? Good LORD

I'll bet a lot that we look back on that opportunity in the 6th or 7th when we still have a goose egg on the board.

Not sure he was going full speed, but the thing is, that was just a ridiculous play by Andrus.  Bat also was in Yoan's way.

I think it was a combination of Yoan thinking that there was no chance in hell Andrus was coming home, a ridiculous play on a throw that I thought was going nowhere near Chirinos and the bat being in the way.

Kind of happy he wasn't going 100%, as that could have been painful for him at home with how much the catcher was blocking the plate.

So far in this game -- Colon owes Andrus a Corona, a burrito and a high five. 

Now hitting by Engel.

Engel doubles in a run 

good at bat!  he fouled off a borderline 2-2 inside pitch that he's been taking for called 3rd this year

That's a solid AB by Moncada, but I was really looking for him to hit one over the border of Mexico

Golly man... Abreu's swing is all kinds of off-balance and f'd up.

early on offspeed pitches, late on the fastball

Lol... That was literally right down the middle. 

I hate when players do that to basically just get a fan reaction.

Doesn't help when Omar Narvaez is your catcher.

Omar tried his best to get it called a ball

Chris Sale pitching against Yankees at the House that Ruth built. 7 innings and 11- strikeouts and only a first inning single allowed. He has been hitting 100 MPH. We got ripped off

Very, very true. 

Navarez jerking that glove all around was high school level pitch presentation.
