That might be harder than he hit any ball all last year, other than that 8 day period in early August when he had his legs under him.

When you least expect it, EXPECT IT!!

 

That's a way better slogan than "Appreciate the Game."

i just missed alexei's entire at bat laughing at what just happened hahahaha

All the soxtalk managers lifting Rios for a PH need to be fired.

A blind squirrel finds a acorn every once in a while.

Yeah that was a bad at bat Flowers

Apparently it'll be Santiago.

the negativity in this thread is unbelievable.... using too many bullpen arms. beckham swing looks like s***. morels swing looks like s***. rios is s***! if you dislike the entire team then why a fan? off the soapbox!

great defense and great HR by Rios.

Thankfully we cheer for an organization that won't fire anyone.

He couldn't have hit that ball that far if he didn't put a real, legit swing on it.

Let's hold them!

Santiago to start the 9th.

 

Not sure if Crain will come in to replace him, but with how much time he missed in ST (Crain), you just don't know.

...Hector is the closer?

I still f***ing hate this F***ing commercial.

So, Santiago is officially the closer. Letting your 4th (at best) reliever start the season at closer. Interesting decision, Robin.

Would be nice to get at least another run here. Somebody else hit a HR.

What just happened?

 

When he pitched for the Twins, we never beat him like that.

 

Crazy.

 

KW for GM of the year, lol.

Let the age of HECTOR begin!

Do you get Crain up in case Santiago gets in trouble?

I know people only see outs, but Rios hit the ball hard a few times already, even if it was on the first pitch a couple times. He looks comfortable at the plate. Calm, and not swinging and bad pitches.

Not much tougher save than this one...a good test.

Let's see if Hector earns coffee tonight!

Yes. Absolutely.

Moreland (lefty) is leading off the inning for Texas. Maybe Santiago is only facing one hitter?

I actually thought Beckham looked really good tonight swinging the bat.
