It's Angel Hernandez, wtf do you expect? Good umpiring? LOL. 

I didn't see who it was. Makes sense now.

Is it worse to read Bruce Levine's writing on the Sox, or hear him blather on about the Cubs...?

Hearing him blather on about the Cubs easily 

Good lord do I detest Jon Lester

I only know because they mentioned his name on the Sox radio broadcast. 

Another one just foul 

I am in the Pro-Eloy camp

Eloy singles to CF, EE goes to 3rd.

I absolutely love the 3-0 green light for Robert. ALthough he shoulda taken that pitch.

Robert's aggression appears to be a product of the talent he was facing, and not his overall approach. Antoher BB.

Robert draws a 2 out walk.

God if that's true, Eloy might not be too far off. 

Out of the Sox Big 3 core pieces(Moncada, Robert, Eloy) 

who do you think will be the best:

Offensively

Defensively 

Overall

My guesses: 

Eloy, Robert, Moncada.

But it wouldn't shock me if Robert ended up winning all 3.

That's a position you don't want to see Leury Garcia in

Leury pops out to LF.  Sox strand the bases loaded.

I actually think the best hitter of them all will be Vaughn, but I don't think that's because I feel Robert isn't going to be amazing.

I think Vaughn is looking at 1000 ops over and over again.

Defensively - Robert (I think he has the potential to be an all-time great level defensive CF'er)

Overall - Robert/Yoan (this one is really hard)

Striking fear in opponents - Eloy (there's something to be said about dropping 50 bombs)

Defense: Robert.

Offense: Moncada.  (LH power, Switch hitting, speed, versatility)

Power #s: Eloy.

I actually think that Robert might have more power than Eloy. 

I could see Eloy being Albert Belle at his peak though offensively.

Bummer walks the leadoff man bottom 3.

Alfonso Marquez is the home plate umpire according to the box score.

I'm not sure there's a person alive with more raw power than Eloy. People have the same power, but I don't think anyone has more.

I could see it.  I think all 3 are going to be monsters, and I'm splitting hairs between the three.

As Hawk would say, "you can tie him, but you can't beat him"

Grounder to TA, only has a play at 1st.  1 down.

Bummer struggling a bit.  Walks Schwarber.
