I understand why the Jorge Lopez trade was made, but not having him in a game like this is added pressure on the bullpen. This would be Felix Bautista time a month ago. 

I hear you.   This is the problem when a team outperforms the plan?  Elias did not plan for us to compete this year.  Now its up to the players here to give us everything they got.   Its fun.   

And frustrating at times.

Mateo!   I am wondering if Mateo is going to be a nugget like Showalter used to say.

Again …I don’t think the 29/30 is accurate. That ball gets hit into the monster at Fenway.

Yeah, no shot.  It's about 350 or 360 to that part of the green monster.  That ball hit off the top of a 13 foot wall 390 feet away.  That ball lands clear on Landsdowne street in Boston.

[Il BuonO]

That’s huge

[Beysbol]

Man, Mateo is playing so good! 

[Il BuonO]

I’ll say it again, fun to watch.

[justD]

So this reliever has given up no runs bc he lets inherited runners score instead! Way to go Mateo!

Oh, I’ve heard worse from Brown. He’s in “I’m a funny guy,” mode.

I'm not sure why he didn't leave Baker in for a couple of outs. 

I couldn't figure that out either.  Maybe he saw something he didn't like

Mateo keeps playing like this and he's going to be in an all star game. (I said it.)

[Il BuonO]

Mullins looks like he’s been playing in the dirt.

Then Elias should have adjusted, and improved upon the team. Plans change, their is no magical set date to compete. It happens when it happens, and it happened 3 months ago

Brown is fine. He's doing everything he can but Johnson has nothing.

That's such a great part of the movie.
