2 out HR

Papa Johns had to be surprised how rarely the 5 run coupon was used this year.

Royals desperately need to win in order to keep home field advantage shot alive against Jays.

Luckily for KC the Jays clinched the East in the DH opener then got so drunk, I don't even recognize half their nightcap lineup.

I think the throw beat him somehow.

The only real drama left is the Angels and Astros. Anaheim has managed to implode late tonight (7 total unearned runs) against a pretty bad A's team.

 

Correa really deserves it, and it's def hard not to pull for the underdogs. The Angels are about as boring as the White Sox once you get past Trout.

NY got it right

30/99 for Abreu

Abreu HR #30

Congrats Jose, one more RBI and you're golden!

Tie gameeee

Damn, that was Abreu's chance at 30/100.

Nice job by Eaton there, and shout-out to Flowers for going 4-4 with a clutch RBI. Quintana will get a no-decision rather than a loss.

 

edit- maybe not. he's back out for the 9th at 106 pitches

I wonder if Hawk knows the Sox have substantially more bloop hits this year than the Royals. Great tweet out there with bloop totals on the year...can't link it but saw it on Bernstein's twitter

Flowers just won himself a 2016 contract tonight.

Avi should spend all next year in the minors completely renovating his swing

 

Probably not gonna happen in this farm system.

Q with another ND fitting end.

With his home run tonight, Jose Abreu is the first player in American League history to record 30+ home runs in each of his first two seasons.

 

Robertson throwing change ups tonight

Robertson's fastball continues to look like batting practice. Ugh, such a bad call at the waiver deadline.

Robertson strikes again

Robertson needs to find his Yankee self.

Robertson needs to find his Yankee self.

 

Fastball has flattened out this season.

From throwing way too many cutters...

 

Hahn set the MLB record for worst trade deadline performance. Not dealing Shark. Keeping Robertson pointlessly when that money should have been invested into a starting position player. Not getting anything for Albers, Putnam, Petricka, Duke, etc.

I'll never understand not dealing Shark a month BEFORE the deadline. It was obvious our team sucked and you can't convince me we couldn't have gotten some nice pieces.
