Moncada back following root canal. No Anderson 

Let’s strive mightily to win this game 

 

 

Rodón has caused some ugly swings today.

Rodon just threw a ball right down broadway for stike 3 against Candelario. Except Narvaez has no idea how to catch, so it was called a ball.  HPB next pitch.

 

 

Basically cost Rodon at least 3 runs.

Nice to see the Sox valuing defense as always

Kind of weird we haven't heard a peep about Wellington Castillo. If you look at the quotes after his suspension was announced, it didn't seem like the team was going to move on. Maybe because how Narvaez and Smith have been hitting, they just may give Beef some more time off.

 

Edit, our Chuck had something about him. He's working out and will return.

Chuck tweeted yesterday that he is at the ST complex getting back into game shape.  Rehab forthcoming.  

Yoan missed that low changeup by a foot

Was actually an inside slider.  Good pitch for him to hit given his swing path.  Just missed double.

I glanced at the pitch,just saw the contact. He's gotta keep those fair.

Davidson really sucks, but he makes sure to do *just enough* to not get DFA'd

He typically does a good job of keeping the ball fair down the line

I think Dioner Navarro was the worst. He was unbelievably bad. I would watch on TV and see the pitch trax but would never be upset the umpire called it a ball. Omar is up there. Maybe he gets better. He didn't seem this bad last year. Even if his bat is for real, I don't see how a contending team can have him catch.

Pretty funny to see how bad he struggled Pre-ASB and still has 73 RBIs right now.

He's at a 117 wRC+ and an .810 OPS now, but yes, he's absolutely washed up and 39 years old and can't hit fastballs anymore! 

Beautiful slider
