[Brandon Glick]

It's Christian Scott day! [I promise this is real excitement and not the throes of the dog days of summer talking.]

[Edgy MD]

Look at all that Dedniel rest.  I want him retroactively pitching last night's ninth inning, and it want it now.

Or ... then.

[Edgy MD]

The Sox have cornered the market on four-syllable last names generally, and Montgomerys in particular.

Baty at DH makes Morel your utility dude.

[ashie62]

I'm still waiting for Luis Robert Jr to take out some revenge on his former team

And we're off

[The Hot Corner]

Why are the Mets playing two leftfielders?  That's a dramatic shift.

[Edgy MD]

As good a day as every for Alvarez to wake up.

[Edgy MD]

A single through the right side works for me.

He can hit .300 shortening up and going that way.

[Edgy MD]

There goes the lead.

Also, Andrew Benintendi has a white, stripe on his earflap that looks like some sort of Trump bandage.

[Edgy MD]

Lead back after a Boriffic at-bat from Bo BichMet.

[ashie62]

The Bo Bichette salary drive continues says snarky me

[Edgy MD]

Twenty-one pitches by Castillo to the last two batters.

[Edgy MD]

ANOTHER marathon at-bat and overturned strike three leads to a two-run homer.

Terrific inning.

[ashie62]

Robert Jr atones for the fly ball he did not see or simply wasn't paying attention to earlier 

[Edgy MD]

Chasing the pitcher is the key to LIFE.

[Edgy MD]

Ouch, Benji, that's not the way you want to knock one out.

[Edgy MD]

Popups are not Jared Young's specialty.

[Edgy MD]

Infield cutoffs are not Jared Young's specialty.

[kcmets]

Long-ass three innings.

Just throw the ball to third.

Not that half inning, alas.

Here's the Dewayne Wise catch Ronnie is speaking of.

 

[Edgy MD]

Fast inning on our side, too.

[Frayed Knot]

The 3rd inning must have lasted at least 3x as long as the 4th 

[Edgy MD]

Damn, Benji giveth and taketh away.

[kcmets]

Benge Bonb!

[Frayed Knot]

Second HR of the day for Benge.

 

Ooooh, that's harsh!

[Edgy MD]

Pinch-hit Waggy and it's in the baggie!

[Edgy MD]

Getting Murakami chasing in that situation is impressive.

I'm not sure how many of those pitches he has left in him.

[Edgy MD]

Surprised Scott is even still on the mound.
