To me it looks like he was just pointing out to Tim basically saying to Donaldson you said/did "blank" to Tim out there

Yes Gordon, I'm sure Donaldson was apologizing.  That is such his nature.

Nice job by Reynaldo to send him off on three pitches.

Good on Yaz.

Also l see gamethreads are still misery personified. This time it's Andrew Vaughn that's a bust?

Thank god these guys have a backbone. Yaz defending his teammate is nice to see

Well, you know the manager won't.

Crochet was never going to stay healthy as a starter.  I know Harold will disagree, but he was a bad pick.

Arguable. We'll never know though. My opinion is that they should have made Crochet prove that he wasn't a starter before moving him to the bullpen. Guys that throw that hard get injured regardless, so IMO that's a bad argument.

That makes more sense.

Never was. Very limited athletically which means the bat has to be special.  I’ve always felt his power was overrated, even in college.

Vaughn was never allowed to develop.  Instead of getting regular ABs in the minors and being allowed to develop defensively at his natural position, he was thrown into the major leagues right out of college and forced to play defensive positions where he had never played before while not even getting everyday ABs.  Considering all of this, I think he has done a great job learning under fire.  I still have high hopes for him as their starting first baseman if only they'll let him develop there.

Yankees announcers think the Sox try to take out Donaldson when he’s at 3rd tomorrow

As in to support TA. He kept pointing that direction while talking to Donaldson.

Rinse and repeat.

To be fair, I think Dallas is causing most of the gamethread misery today.

Nice to see our guys have a pulse.

Anyone warming for NY yet? I know Cortes was at 100 pitches

Somebody tell Gleyber he's not facing Dallas anymore...strikeouts are possible.

Also, Donaldson and Anderson hate each other because they are the same type of players.

That would have been the most bullshit homerun of all time

No. 

An underrated issue right now is the Sox blowing their high draft picks during the rebuild years. 

Vaughn still has time, and they completely screwed up Crochet by pigeonholing him as a reliever. 

Still wrong on this.

Lopez up to 100. Wow

Lopez hitting 100 mph!

Um, if he can locate that,  yeah...secret weapon for sure

The second one was a legit 100.0 on baseball savant.

Donaldson is also trending on Reddit's Am I The Asshole?

This game has the potential to be a good Sox comeback win. Hopefully get a few innings from Lopez.

He’s hitting .236 against RHP.  He started off looking better against them, but for the last week he looks the same as last season.

That is an improvement from early last year.
