"Mount Eloy erupts for the first time"

I missed the entire Tampa series and was worried I would miss his first dinger, glad to tune in today

to be fair, I'm not sure how anyone hits that Tampa team.  They're the best team I've seen this year.

Thats some weight off that young man.

A bomb.  First of many.

Now hitting 304 with a 347 OBP and just a matter of time before a power surge comes. As I’ve said all week, with the way TA, Moncada, and Eloy are playing I don’t quite understand why there’s so much doom and gloom. With what Robert is doing in the minors, the Sox have the makings of a foursome of everyday players that Will be able to match any team in the league.

Now that homer wasn't a cheapy.

Great fucking call. 

Benetti is a huge upgrade over 70 year old Hawk.

Your optimism in what is often a downpour of dour is appreciated.

At the game.  Yankee fans feeling grumpy.

Mainly because the pitching is still very high risk, and most of us no longer have faith that this FO can bring the right free agents to complete the roster.

No question the pitching is a mess but, man, this lineup has a chance to be unbelievable next year with the addition of a JDM.

His offspeed stuff has really improved the last 2 innings.

Gio is missing bats this year, I'm encouraged. 

Homer could get rained out.

Fuck he can't grip the baseball. 

No walks Gio. Get these 2 outs and get the win.

I appreciate the optimism, but unless multiple OF prospects make massive jumps this year and make it all the way to the majors, our line-up is more than one piece away from "unbelievable." 

1 more out!!!

Nice recovery by Giolito after being flustered

96 mph from Gio. 

Yess. 

Gio pumping 96 out there.

I think the umps know the rest of this game could be fucked so they want it to be official, at the very least.

I won’t be surprised if we see Robert in late April next year. Collins will be up this year. A lineup with TA, Moncada, Eloy, JDM, Robert, Collins has a chance to be special. Optimistic? Maybe. But it’s not a fantasy by any means.

Why the hell is he at 95 in the pouring rain?
