Crush is the word for the Sox hitters this inning - all 5 batters. Add: They are laying the wood to Oakland in the 6 th also. This game may be over for all practical purposes if they keep it up. All you EST-ers can hit the sack. Add2: Good night... Hit the sack? This Raleigh fan is having a blast! If JBJ and Shaw can reignite...this becomes an unreal line up throughout once more.

So we will see Moncada tonight. Only question is do the sub him for Ortiz or Pedroia?

Send him out for Pedroia right now.

One more inning for Price - then good time to get Scott's feet wet and Kelly an inning, perhaps...

maybe that will help Xander's defensive WAR...really hurting his overall rating.

Well this is fun. Wonder if Moncada gets an at-bat late in the game. I'll stay up until the end so I dont miss his first AB, I'll be so mad if it doesnt happen.

The A's announcers absolutely loved the subtle baseball genius of Xander taking his hat off to be able to track the ball better as he chased down that pop-up.

Work in progress ... looking for 2 or 4 more rhymes for "bench"!
Dylan Thomas Speaks to Travis Shaw
Do not go gentle onto that good bench, Incumbent vets should stand in rookie’s way; Rage, rage against the slumping and its stench.
Though wise men think the rookie is a mensch, Because they know from sample sizes, they Do not go gentle onto that good bench.

I'm watching their feed as well, so much better than NESN (not like that's a huge accomplishment) Never mind, they just said Odor should be in The MVP conversation, his OBP is under .300 lol

Nice double play - Price needed that.

I'm going to guess Moncada hits for Papi
Edit: Well that's a bit of a letdown lol Also "trench" works

Like Moncada's patience in drawing the walk.

I guess he's kind of fast.

I like how he slowed down to smile at the catcher as he was getting ready to cross the plate.
