June 19, 20196 yr Author Pretty much every Sox fan's wishes for today's game were 1) win 2) eloy homer we got both.
June 19, 20196 yr That was the best win in ages, all because of Eloy. Now about that Moncada incident...
June 19, 20196 yr I could just picture the smug shit-inning grin on all of the Cubs fans I know after that dreadful two pitch swing in the first inning (Eloy bases-loaded DP followed by Schwarber HR). But pitching kept us in it and Eloy got to be the big hero against his former team. Great bullpen mgmt by Ricky makes me almost overlook the blunder in putting in Moncada (who needs to REST), and great performance by the bullpen and, with one notable exception, the defense. Go Sox! Let’s see Giolito get #11 tomorrow! Edited June 19, 20196 yr by Chris Sale

Just rest him. FFS it's a long season and a long rebuild. If he's so hurt he can't swing it's absurd he's not on the IL let alone in the game. Edited June 19, 20196 yr by chitownsportsfan
June 19, 20196 yr Cubs score a run on the very first pitch of the game, and a big fat NADA for the rest of the game. So awesome!
June 19, 20196 yr I have no idea what Eloy's MLB ceiling is as a hitter, but if you only look at the recent stats and not the earlier stats where he was adjusting to MLB pitching he's raking just as hard as he was in the minors. I'm even more excited to see what Luis Robert can do, he could be even better if he's anywhere even close to his ceiling.

June 19, 20196 yr 7 minutes ago, ron883 said: What happened with Moncada exactly? RR said pregame his back acts up vs LHP's. RR then took out Rondon for him while Hamels was still in. Moncada attempted a few bunts and then took strike 3. Very embarrassing for Yoan and extremely mismanaged by Renteria to put the franchise player in like that

Another top 10 pick to the system would be nice.
