Lol.  Someone better get eyes on Kimbrel as well.  

Romy was definitely on the MLB.com starting line-up in RF, Brantley even called it a Romy catch at the fence earlier.

Guaranteed if we trade Romy to the Cardinals he would win NL ROY somehow.

He’s pitching tonight.   Not that I think it’s happening but they wouldn’t be in the same deal.  Romy could always be a possibility for the A’s.

You have a radio link?

Sheets with a diving stop and toss to Kopech 

Sheets made a nice diving stop at 1B...hard hit ball.  Sheets "pretty quick and covered a lot of ground in a hurry" according to Brantley.

Mlb.tv has the radio link 

It says WLW (I think that's the station)

go to chisox.com and click on live, eventually you will get to Reds' radio link, but I have MLB Gameday Audio and MLB.tv so not sure if it's free or not

 

Looks like they haven't solved the stolen base issues with basically all our pitchers and catchers...what new?

Kopech drills Fraley and then Grandal drops the ball on a steal attempt 

 

Where’s Gonzalez? 

Kopech K's Drury to end the inning

Gavin Sheets looking good at his natural position 

 

 

 

Groundout, HBP, pop out and K...Kopech through 8 hitters, 2 IP, 2 K's

Sheets walk.

 

Wonder if this is the year that Abreu starts to really fall off...he's 35 now, right?  Of course, this has been claimed roughly 1000 times already at SoxTalk, 75% of the time by Ron883.

I'm pretty sure Ron claimed Jose was washed up when he won MVP. 

It’s going to be very annoying if Harrison bats 7th this year

Shades of Royce Clayton and Mark Johnson...

 

Around MLB, Derek Holland trying to catch on with the Red Sox...Matty Davidson still hanging around with AZ, Trayce Thompson and Mazara with Padres but highly unlikely for either to make the team.

Hasn’t he batted there pretty much every game he’s played?  Seems inevitable at this point.

Velasquez finally gets the K with a breaking ball on 9th place hitter Aristides Aquino.

 

Almost gave up a second homer to India on a hanger but Haseley caught it in LF.

Bullet down the RF for a double down the line, Engel bobbled the ball for what should have been an E-9.

LIneout to Harrison at second ends the inning, still 7-1.
