could see this coming. All the talk of how great this bullpen is well it won't make any difference if the Sox don't hit.

Need one more fellas

Can not waste the DH position. That spot has to hit.

Tont made a great call pulling Gio. He gets to leave with a chance at a win and not feeling bad about himself. He just ran out of gas. You leave him in there and he gives up 2 more and the whole night seems like a downer to Gio.

Last year right field was a black hole offensively and this year it's looking like left field could be a black hole.

Whoa Jason we have a long season ahead.

Where will the sox get that offensive production they are losing with Eloy out. That along with getting their 4th and 5th starters to produce are my two biggest keys to the season at hand. GO SOX

TA and Gio and Moncada look ready to go. TA and Gio and Abreu are the 3 leaders on this team. How they go the team goes.

I agree that Robert needs more discipline and concentration at the plate. I think he fell in love with hitting the long HR's and the attention that creates but what he really needs to do is just concentrate on getting on base every at bat.

Vaughn can't be worse out there than Eloy can he?

If Robert doesn't hit it will be a big problem especially now with Eloy gone. He has to be able to get on base one way or another .

Have to find a way to try to look at this loss of Eloy in a positive manor. For as good as he is at the plate he is almost as equally bad in the field. Maybe now the Sox will have a competent left fielder defensively. Maybe the rest of the team will see that they now all have to step up for the loss of Eloy mostly on the offense side of things and some guys will have career years at the plate. Maybe Vaughn will turn out to be an even better hitter than we think he will be. I'm trying.

Keuchel looks awful. He has no velocity.

I'm happy with this deal. I wasn't that impressed with Dunning. Yes your giving up a young arm but Lynn is proven and this team needs to go for it right now.

In this day and age of social media this story will only get bigger and bigger. The backlash and bad press will be overwhelming and leave the Sox organization no choice but to part ways with TLR. How they go about doing that is really the only question.

He was probably drunk when they called.

When do you think we will hear who his coaching staff will consist of? To me this is every bit as important as who the Manager is. These are the guys who work most closely with the players.

Every last one of us knew this teams lack of starting pitching would be it's downfall.

This is all on the pitching staff totally choking.

The Sox will need at least 8 runs to win today.

How can nobody get a friggen out!!!

The A's are not even an average hitting ballclub. The Sox pitching staff, other than Crochet, are simply crapping the bed in the biggest game of the season.

Good bye lead

Exactly. Is it the pressure? They should be able to go at least two innings.

I seriously won't be able to watch Rodon pitch.
