Ruiz really seems shaky lately and he's not on the team for his offense.

Ruiz has not looked good either catching the ball or throwing it when he does catch it.

If you don't mind weak/mediocre defense at third, put Alberto there for his offense.

Grounder with eyes!

[SteveA]

A dinky little bouncer that gets through, and a solid line drive hit.   Starting to get a bit tense.

Brandon Hyde writes in his notebook...

"Fry never 2nd inning."

[SteveA]

The children's cancer yellow ribbon on Lemahieu's uniform looks like a Star Trek communicator.

[scOtt]

Jesus H! These pitches aren't even close!

[SteveA]

Ballboy should have fielded THAT one.

Alberto can hit and plays a pretty good 2B. I don't want to rob Peter to pay Paul as Buck used to say.

Velazquez is a good temp CFer!

And his baserunning? irrelevant to who plays 3B, but I couldn't help it.

O'S WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE O'S WIN!

Valdez is relevant.

Good game. Nice to beat the Yankees.

Congrats to Dillon Tate on his first career win.

[SteveA]

VICTORY!

If Toronto can hold on (up 8-7 at Fenway, top 8th), we will have knocked the Yankees into 3rd place.

And if we can win tomorrow we'd be just 2 games behind them for the final playoff spot with 3 weeks to play.  

Keep the postseason fantasy alive for a few more days!

This guy is my new favorite player. How can you not root for a 35 year old junk ball pitcher from the Mex League? Stroke of genius whoever scouted him.
