During his at bat Moreland swung and missed at a high pitch. He turned and asked the ump if it was a strike. I'm sure the blind ump told him "your guess is as good as mine."
It's good that JD played for Detroit, because one can see a lot of Cabrera and V.Martinez in JD's approach at the plate. That deep breath that JD takes is straight from the V.Martinez hand book.
I did my civic duty earlier by voting for ASG players. I voted for 3 SOX players; the obvious 2 plus Beni. And continuing my tradition, I voted for no Yankems.
The Nats have a 19 year old phenom named Soto, who just hit a 2 run blast against the Yankems to take the lead going into the 7th in a continued game from MAY. The SOX could pick up a full game against the Yankems while not playing tonight.
At this point in the season the SOX have played the other 3 top teams in the AL a total of 14 games. They're record is 7-7. The SOX will play both the Astros and the Mariners 3 more times each at Fenway. The SOX will end the season with a 3 game home stand with the Yankems.
