Really excited to see how creatively the bullpen blows this one!

Why don't you go have a seat over there.

Seby hitting like a guy who knows he is getting on a plane to Charlotte in a few hours, while the rest go to a different gate.

 

This is more like it for the offense. Crazy that Berrios and Ryu couldn't even make it to the 5th this series.

A switch hitting 2 run bum.

A bum that can play any position off the bench. 

my god, these guys just murder Ryu.  and he's a pretty good pitcher too

Ryu looked more like Dallas Keuchel today than himself.

that would be a shame if they choose to keep Collins over Zavala imo, is this a case of protecting his options?

Really think in the next year or two it's going to be Robert hitting 3rd ahead of Eloy... he's that talented! And if they extend Jose, or Jose extends himself, then he can hit behind Eloy in 2023.

New school lineup construction puts a lot of emphasis on the 2 slot. Trout-Judge-Robert. I'd be good with the 3 place for Robert too.

TA picks up Zavala. Capitalizing on mistakes and driving in runs is such a relief, and is so satisfying to see after the past few games.

Zavala will probably never play in MLB again.  Collins might turn into a decent backup yet.

Probably a case of having 2 really bad back up catchers. Coin flip maybe?

Yep, its an options game for this season.

Is he carrying Zach's bags for him and coming back? Or vice-versa? 

AC or DC voltage for the prisoner...

Are we 8th inning protected yet?

I bet they keep Zavala and drop a pitcher.

Ray's slider was awesome yesterday...but we should have gotten more.

I don’t think such a thing exists.

Nope. I mean if we're honest, they are both terrible. But Seby has the misfortune of already having an option used this year, AND "hitting" from the wrong side of the plate. So it is an easy choice.

he has the misfortune of having the worst swing I've seen at the MLB level as well.  Glad he ran into a few when he was up here but there's a good chance he never sees MLB again. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a 40 man cut in the offseason.

Don't stop get it get it

I'll take Collins over Zavala at this point

How's Yermin's catching been in AAA?

?

ESPN finally on with the Sox game. Nice set of highlights to at least catch up to the game.
