Lineup in full force nobody wants to face.

I know the Cubs are a borderline AA team (Ricketts >> Jerry ?) but this Sox lineup is just relentless.

I still want an Eloy bomb!

somehow its still only the fifth

Jose is a hit/RBI machine. What a pleasure to have him on my favorite team.

Keep it up Sox, first five innings have been nice.

To be fair, we went from 1-4, 3 LOB to 5-11, 5 LOB. Locked it in!

No Goodwin, Mendick, Seby, Collins or Lamb in the lineup helps along with none of our stars resting tonight.  Only lineup issue was starting Keuchel

how did eloy lay off that?

Take bad pitches for balls, good things happen.

Fourth time through the order in the bottom of the 5th.

I can't believe Eloy didn't swing at any of those pitches.

There is nowhere to hide when this lineup is back to full health. Mediocre pitchers like the Cubs are throwing out tonight have to thread such a needle not to get pummeled like this.

It's remarkable that Robert can look so good at the plate given how long of a layoff he had. What a special player he is & will be in the future.

Him opening up his stance has done him a lot of good so far.

And now add Adam Engel. It's superfluous, but his OPS crushes Leury's.

He’s laid off several pitches tonight he would have swung at as a rookie.  Very encouraging 

got the job done yoan.

I'd walk Grandal here

Jason didn't even call the run scoring wtf 

Seems like the Cubs give up double digits every game. They traded mostly position players, right? Was Rizzo their best pitcher?

Welcome back, Yas!

welcome back yasmani

Is Jason at the game?

How long do I keep watching this as a guilty pleasure?

Missed you Yaz ?

Gold Glover Right Fielder out there.

Total Ass Whooppin'

YAZ!!!

Grandal is making collins look even worse than the crap he was.
