2:05 tomorrow, but it’s gotta be 8:05 tonight. F off. 

Oh well, last year there.

Worked out alright for myself.  Fucking POS employee shoots me a text at like 10 this morning that he's not going to make the shift so I have to personally cover it.  I'm at work right now but at least the I can enjoy the game in a couple hours.  Owning a small biz just completely eclipses everything in your life it's like having a kid sometimes.

8:05 Central Start Time

Despaigne(8.71...lol) vs Lance Lynn (4.16)

According to MLB.com..."Lynn has a 2.92 ERA in his last 8 starts and while averaging 11.35 strikeouts and 1.38 walks per nine. 8 straight quality starts." This match-up certainly doesn't favor the Sox, but again, this is baseball...Also, let's try to have a game where we don't get screwed up the home-plate umpire again.

And ya boy Alonso is back, hitting cleanup ? But Collins gets his first career start as a catcher! ?

1) Leury CF

2) Moncada 3B

3) Abreu 1B

4) Alonso DH

5) Eloy LF

6) Anderson SS

7) Yolmer 2B

? Collins C

9) Tilson RF

Despaigndent.

They showed that "jet stream" on the Rangers broadcast last night and I was pretty blown away (almost literally through my monitor).  The flags were absolutely ripping in that part of the park.  Eloy could fist one out that way as well today.

Yeah, I was waiting for Eloy and/or Moncada to get under one in that direction. Hopefully tonight. 

I've got NBCSN on; I know some people get on Chuck for being a bit of a homer, but the content he's helped put out the last couple years has been pretty good

He tries hard I give him that and he's earnest.

Tough first Mlb game behind the plate for Collins having to catch Despaigne...of course he might not have to catch him for long 

It's probably for the best as he is probably the most familiar with him as he caught him at AAA.

Must win game tonight.

.500 within our grasp once again.  Would be nice to string a few wins together and make a run at this thing.?

 

Nice start Leury

this guy is beefy.

Ripped it!  NICE!

Moncada now hitting an even 300.

How do you miss that jose

the amount of nut sucking opposing crews do on jose abreu is unreal.

Moncada heading back up to 900 ops...last year he was mired in low 700’s after the first six weeks and fought all season long to get it back to the 730’s range.

expand the zone more, FFS

great here's yonder, god damnit.

2-1 protect swing crap by Jose

Alonso's OPS is fucking .586

lol I'd be livid if I was a Rangers fan, you walk that guy on 4 pitches?

Elevate Eloy

Come on Eloy!

holy hell Lynn works slow.
