Sucks to lose Tim, but I am happy that Yermin gets at least a cup of coffee in the big leagues. Dude earned it and more than paid his dues in the minors.
Please don’t fall in love with Engel‘s hot start. He is what he is, a guy who will have trouble maintaining a .700 OPS, but still a perfectly cromulent 4th outfielder.
Not the prettiest ballgame. Keuchel had nothing but still gave us some qualizy innings, bullpen was nails. Offense was pretty bad and some shaky defense made this way closer than it should have been. I‘ll take ugly wins though.
Judging by some of the wallscrapers hit to right RF, good to know that the Sox still have a batch of the super-juiced balls from last year when they are batting.
NBA playoffs are boring, because you know 99% of the time which team is going to advance. Baseball is the ultimate crapshoot so it's more exciting in that way.
But I'd prefer it if they only expanded the playoffs for this season.
