If you had told that Soxtalk would be pissed that Adam Engel was not in the line up I would have laughed and laughed and laughed. 

We're more pissed that EE isn't sitting for Collins. EE and Collins need to split playing time IMO.

Why?  EE was a significantly better hitter against RHP than Abreu last year.

Hot hand. EE is struggling and Abreu isn't.

But you just said we should be platooning EE & Collins, which really isn’t a hot hand thing.  And EE is never going to get going if we rest him too much.  He’s a notorious slow starter and we should let him get into a groove against shitty Royals pitching.  Renteria should rest Abreu & EE occasionally against tough RHP, but Junis doesn’t really apply and therefore Collins isn’t needed today in my opinion.

Yeah, I agree. Collins should spell both EE and Abreu at times. 

I would've went this route today:

Robert CF

Moncada 3B

Jimenez LF

Grandal DH

McCann C

Collins 1B

Mendick SS

Engel RF

Madrigal 2B

I don't understand why MLB.tv doesn't let me fullscreen during commercials.  Come on I'm ready to go lay down with the tablet.

Holy shit what an AB by Moncada. Drool worthy.

It was a routine play he got a horrible jump on.

Whoa

Super first inning for Cease

Nice easy inning for Dylan. Nice to see.

Well that was a quick inning.

Cease with some fastball command today.
