Lopez and Sheets have to be part of a trade package for a second baseman. That is the only reason I can see Lopez starting this game.

There was no one else anywhere in the organization who could of started this game ahead of Lopez??

HUGE series win only because the Sox needed to know that they can beat this team. They dominated them these last two games.

A perfect night for the Sox.

In my opinion Gio is the key to any post season success. He needs to be that guy. With Rodon and Lynn looking pretty damn dependable if Gio can get it together that is a very good 123 punch on the mound.

That boy is STRONG!

Astros are just flat out a better team than the Sox right now. I despise them but it is just a fact. The Sox have to get Eloy and Robert back healthy and need to add a middle relief guy and a second baseman who can hit.

I love these uniforms!

TA is just an amazing hitter with some of the quickest hands in the Majors.

Sox are going through the motions looking ahead to the break.

My mistake I thought it was the first out

Don't blame Yoan there. Took a perfect throw.

I think Eloy is capable of being the second best hitter on this team behind TA.

I love Liam's emotion out there. Very genuine and shows he really cares about winning.

If there was ever a player that was meant to be a DH it's Eloy. The guy is a natural hitter. He is not a great athlete. He is a below average OFielder who is prone to injury.

Agree. Gio needs to start looking like a No1 starter. The Sox will need 3 strong starters heading in to the playoffs. Right now I would have total confidence in Rodon and Lynn heading in to the post season. Gio needs to be No3.

Something is going to be have to be done about Keuchel after the break. He has nothing left. He can't even eat innings.

The Sox do not need to add another outfielder. They need to go after a 2nd baseman and another bullpen arm.

This was a great win. This team has every reason to fold but they keep playing their as**ss off. They just need to keep scratching and clawing for every win they can until mid August when hopefully everyone is back.

This is just beyond bad luck. That is now 4 starters who are either out long term or done for the year. Somehow this team has to stay afloat until mid August and then hope everyone that can come back does and is able to contribute. I don't know what they will do now before the trade deadline.

At this point the Sox really need this All Star break to get some players the 5 days off. I would sit both Moncada and Grandal right now. That would give them 11 days until the next game. Anybody else with a lingering injury sit them right now as well. Get in to the break with a 4 or 5 game lead and call it good on the first half.

I think we all are losing mind of the fact of how much this team has lost and is missing. Today's lineup is missing 5 starters. You take 5 starters off any team and see what happens. This team is going to have to scratch and claw it's way to wins until they get the team on the field we all expected at the start of the year. They have to do something at 2B and get another quality arm for the bullpen. If they can do that and get everyone healthy and back on the field by September they can still make a serious run come playoff time

Gio is starting to become a worry.

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.
