Joe Ryan. Are we still talking about him?

The Twins' wanted an offer they couldn't refuse. None of the contending teams were agreeable to that. 

However, Breslow did have a horse's head put in the Twins' owner's bed. It was a fake head.

He was the target and our GM couldnt get it done.  It will be the difference in this team making a playoff run if one at all  

Nobody else got him either.   Maybe the Twin were asking for too much,

Bregman is one of the most disciplined hitters I’ve ever seen.  So insanely good

Actually, it wasn't a horse's head at all. Although similar, it was a Judge bobblehead.

[Maxbialystock]

Two outstanding at bats by Gonzalez and Bregman.  Rodon ain't seeing the 7th.  

 

[Maxbialystock]

That's the thing about Anthony.  When it's a pitch to hit, he usually makes good contact.  

Tough break for Story.  That was also well hit.  

[Maxbialystock]

When Rodon is throwing low pitches, our batters are in trouble.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Between Rodent and Wells, that's Assault and Battery on the eyes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Rodent has left the building. 

[Maxbialystock]

Now Story gets a BB on the 9th pitch.  Bases loaded, Rodin.

 

That said, I think this game is still very much a longshot, especially with Eaton at bat and 2 outs.

Good job Terminex.

Lowe Pearce.

Duran sucks. Can't wait for him to be traded this off season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox are now in the Yankems' pigpen.

[Maxbialystock]

Duran stinks when it counts,  If he's still around next year, Breslow is making a mistake.

With the bases loaded he looked at 3 called strikes, all of them in the strike zone.

Miss Abreu, Duran is struggling and needs a day. Or two

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good job by Bernie.

Col Potter is waiting for Hawkeye to give a release date on Abreu.

Seems Abreu has been smitten with Hot Lips.

[Nineintime]

Wow. Yoshida.  Horrendous at bat

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm pretty much done representing Masa. He's gonna have to pay me more.

[Maxbialystock]

I'm so glad Gonzalez is leading off.  He just struck out on 3 pitches, and with luck--a rally in 7th or 8th inning, we could see him do that again.  He is in a decaying orbit.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox should have picked up Roy Hobbs after he was DFA'd by the Rockies.

Anthony is discipline too, just not as experienced.

I believe the deal breaker was that Hobbs refused to give up the #9.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Judge looks like he's in WS form.

All three pitches looked like balls.

He really should be a strict platoon, and even vs lefties, he's been struggling.

Too many Sox batters are hitting a rough patch, at the same time. Hopefully, it's just that- a patch, because we need a group effort over the next 6+ weeks.

Last 28 Days, before tonight:

.503 Narvaez (but .868 in last 14 days)

.518 Rafaela (.422 in last 14)

.677 Yoshida (.520)

.694 Wong (but .778 in last 14)

Last 14:

.456 Romy

.608 Duran

Nice job by WB.

[moonslav59]

I had a feeling we should have saved some Saturday runs for Sunday.
