season high water of mark of 6 over .500 in reach tonight. Be nice to take this series and then try and win 2 of the remaining 4 for a positive trip.

Hopefully we win and Rangers win. Get some distance for any weird stuff.

Tribe have been playing alright and the Twins are playing decent and the Sox are playing alright and the Tigers are playing alright. @CaliSoxFanViaSWside had a good post last night basically entire central other than Royals been .500 last two weeks. It would be nice to open up a little gap before the weekend, agreed.

Off day for Sam.

Not sure I love Teel leading off, but I guess an extra AB or two ahead of a probable day off tomorrow could be good for him.

Interesting lineup. They seem to like Perez quite a bit as a waiver find. He's been OK I guess, nice to get Sam off his feet for a game.

Sam should be a 162er

Would rather have Grichuk in the lineup over Perez

Grichuk OPS's .570 against RHPs this year, whereas Perez' splits are a little more neutral. And Perez is a much better fielder.

Is there something wrong with Sam? Very odd lineup vs RHP. Rest Sam vs LHP. However, he did come out late last night as well.

He got hit by pitch pretty good last night. I wonder if he's hurt?

Prolly just banged up as @soxrwhite said. Gotta protect him from himself a bit. edit: apparently he went into the tunnel after the slide. Hopefully just a rest day.

Guess they’re valuing defense more with an eye to PH Grich if necessary.., I don’t hate it.

Exactly. My guess is that Will told him to sit and Psycho Sam was disappointed. Our guy wants to play every day even after taking one or two for the team.

Love that kid.

I’ll be happy taking this series and splitting the Guards series.
