Where the hell has this team been all year? They actually look good at the plate.

Another nice start for Shane Murphy. 5IP 1R. May be time to move him up to A+.

Burke singles, the streak continues.

Charlotte against Oriole’s loaded AAA. Grayson Rodriguez goes for the O’s. Sosa popped out on a pitch waaay out of the zone, Colas struck out seeing zero strikes.

There out to be a mercy rule - If Sox are more than 2 runs behind, game over.

Twins lost, Cleveland beat KC. Entire division back under .500. Guards only a half game out.

Why waste Santos now? I would have let Touki finish it off and keep the pen fresh for a game where maybe they score multiple runs.

I don't think Ohtani is injured.

So Anderson has an OPS of .545 cratering fast and Andrus is at .541, how much worse could Sosa and Popeye really be? And after he finishes his rehab in the ACL, does anyone else suspect that Colson Montgomery would be better than either of them? At least he would walk.

Yes! Finally the strategy of swinging at head-high fastballs pays off!

Frazier in to run which means we won't have to watch him hit!

AV looks horrendous right now.

Maybe Cleveland fixed him.

Not defending the signing but this is Rick Hahn we're talking about. I don't know how you can decide what the top 3 worst decisions are. Among my favorites: Trade Marcus Semien and Chris Bassitt for Jeff Samardzija, Trade anything for James Shields let alone Tatis Jr., draft Nicky Madrigal 1-4, trade anything for Craig Kimbrel, trade Kimbrel for the smoking ruins of AJ Pollock, giving up anything for Yonder Alonso thereby cutting the payroll of a division rival so they could reacquire Carlos Santana because you were on the Manny Machado friends and family plan, and signing Yasmani Grandal.

So what was the thought there? Touki is going to give you length regardless. Kopech was at 94 pitches to start the inning. Was he just getting him to his pitch count? Is this a spring training game? Someone tell Grifol these are the ones that count.

Why is Kopech still in this game?

Eloy is starting to look better. I predict he'll get hot for their meaningless second half.

Kopech should exit this game and skip a turn. They need to manage his innings better as he ramps up to full workload after so many injuries.

That was a professional at bat by Andrus, in that he was paid for it.

My fault for thinking they may be able to turn a lead off double into a run.

I will be happy to see the end of the Grandal era.

Touki better start loosening up.

ACL game is ugly. McLaughlin 1.1 8H 8R 8ER 3bb 2K. I do not believe he is going to ever see A ball again.

Moniak's stats are insane. Coming into tonight 3bb 31K in 96ab. He has 32 hits in 65 non-K at-bats, almost a .500 BABIP. I hear regression rumbling down the tracks.

Benintendi's ball 100 mph off the bat. Maybe his hand is starting to heal.
