Keuchel is washed up. He will have the occasionally good 6 inning outing but for the most part he is just throwing batting practice. The Sox need to get Kopech in to the starting rotation in the second half of this season. No reason he can't go out there and give you at least 6 innings every 5th day.

In my opinion if the Sox trade Vaughn it will come back to haunt them for years.

I was thinking the same thing.

Vaughn is going to be a special player.

Have to believe the Sox are bringing up Sheets and Burger to showcase them. They are definitely going after a 2nd baseman .

1. T. Anderson SS 2. Y. Moncada 3B 3. E. Jimenez DH 4. J. Abreu 1B 5. L. Robert CF 6. A. Vaughn LF 7. Y. Grandal C 8. A. Engel RF 9. D. Mendick 2B SP L.Lynn So looking at this lineup the one spot I would like to see upgraded is 2B. I'm ok with Engel in RF because defense is so important in the playoffs. There are enough bats in that lineup. You add a Frazier or an Escobar in the 2B spot in that lineup and you have a team that has a legit shot at getting to the WS.

Keep Vaughn in left. Don't start moving him all around. He has become a more than adequate leftfielder. And he is just going to keep getting better at the plate the more at bats he gets.

I admit that Cease frustrates the crap out of me sometimes with his control issues. I just want to see him consistently pitch in to the 6th or 7th inning. He is young. Hopefully that will come.

Cease won't go past 5 innings again tonight.

Never f with crazy. Be it a woman or a man. You will never win and it will only end badly. Gio should of just said next question when asked about Donaldson's actions. I know it is hard not to respond but you will never win vs crazy.

So does Donaldson get drilled tonight?

This team is dead in the water right now. Nobody is hitting. The pitching is starting to show cracks in the armor. You look at the bottom four in this lineup tonight and you have absolutely no threat offensively whatsoever. The Sox have to be buyers by the deadline. They need a couple more bats and a strong middle reliever.

The Sox are going to have to make some big moves before the deadline to try to save this season. They are going to have to give up something to get something. Hahn is going to have to make some very big decisions coming up.

If they give this lead right back it will be really demoralizing.

This team is dead in the water right now. No energy at all.

Engel needs to be shut down for the rest of the first half of the season. This team is going to have to scratch and claw to stay on top of the division until these injured players get back in August.

Starting Monday the umps are going to start inspecting. Look for a lot of pitchers to start struggling.

Not a bad thing that the Astro's are exposing the Sox in this series. It just shows Hahn he needs to go out and get the two or three missing pieces this team still needs.

I expect the Astros to sweep now

Terrible game.

They are right on Crochet

Here comes the walk off HR

Rodon pitched his a** off tonight.

The bottom of this lineup is so painful to watch try to hit.

Bad karma man.
