Outstanding effort from Osich

I feel like McCann and Abreu have had a ton of difficulty lately hitting fastballs in the middle of the plate

Nothing except a professional umpire should know the difference between "close but a ball" and "fuck it, strike 3." God I hope so

Except Castillo is just as shitty as Collins was with even more opportunity + one is going to be with the organization/piece of a trade for a better asset next season, so again I ask, what the hell was the point?

Robert flew out in the 8th

Maybe I missed something but what was the object of demoting Collins for Castillo again?

Renteria: steal with Engel!

Engel will surely go back to being bad and relatively fast but he's been noticeably better at the plate. Forget the hits. He really does have a better eye

I hear you loud and clear

Eloy is the best

Snell appears to be a really likeable guy. Works really hard at his craft, Benetti and Stone already touched on him having a part time job when he was in the minors, and he essentially said pay me or trade me in the offseason. Tampa has themselves a good one (for 2 more years or so when they decide to trade him for a haul of seemingly average prospects that turn out to be good pros)

Robert K's in the 5th

A generality? We were talking about Cease. You defended laughing at him and then said "have you ever heard of fun bad?" Because Cease was the topic you were clearly referring to him.

A decade is 10 years. The Sox rebuild began less than 3 years ago.

It doesn't directly answer your question but the Sox are 18th in the league in runners left in scoring position per game
