I mean of course this team is performing better this season then any of us expected so I guess we shouldn't be too upset. But when they are in first place the last week in July and the AL is so down this year you just don't want to see them blow the chance of making the playoffs.

Losing these first 2, with your best starting pitchers, with the Yanks, Rays, and Red Sox coming next is not good. I feel like the team is hitting a wall right now.

Every time my inner Sox voice starts saying just maybe this team is for real this year you have a game like this and the doubts creep back. Days your arguably best pitcher goes and your up 5-0 in the 6th you have to win those.

Jammed him. Nice pitch.

Vasil is hilarious.

The team I'm most worried about in the Central right now is the fing Tigers. They have a very easy schedule the rest of the way which includes their next 9 games being KC for 3, Baltimore for 3, and the A's for 3. That combined with the Sox having during the same time Houston for 3, Yankees for 4, Rays for 3, and Red Sox for 3. If the Sox have any kind of losing streak in this next 13 game stretch the Tigers could possibly make up a lot of ground quickly.

Great win! It is huge because the Sox are about to start the toughest stretch of the season. They have Houston for 3, Yankees for 4, Rays for 3, Red Sox for 3, Clev for 3.

Taylor, fing great job. Who gets the 9th?

It is easy to doubt Chase partly because he just doesn't look the part. But if he is going to hit .285 and make most of the plays you have to at 2nd I mean I'm ok with that.

Great pitch by Taylor to end the inning. Give him the 8th and Newcomb the 9th. Or Seranthony. Kidding.

Sox have a lot of guys slumping at the plate right now. Have to find a way to win games like this because they will break out here soon.

He was struggling early on, he couldn't be trusted. But since he came back and made a change in his delivery he has been lights out. The guy has always had great stuff he just hadn't been able to control and locate.

You almost had to move him because where was he going to play? The real question is was the return worth it?

If they can get a quality #3 starter for Schultz straight up or packaged with a no name I would do it tonight.

I would too but who is it you package him with? Your not getting any kind of quality starter for Shultz and some no name.
