Before we get to the recap, let us all repeat our vows:
August looms, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until 4 p.m. EST. I shall take no breaks, hold my bladder, seek out no food. I keep an eagle eye on the dugout and MLBTR. I shall live and die on Twitter. I am the writer of the recap. I am the watcher of hugs. I pledge my life and honor to the Hug’s Watch, for this game and really only this game.
Okay with that said, SOMEONE SOUND THE HORN BECAUSE A HUG HAS BEEN SPOTTED:
#Athletics acquiring RHP Tanner Roark from #Reds, source tells The Athletic.
