What a breath of fresh air on that at bat for TA7. 8 pitches and a walk to leadoff.

Probably one of the best lineups this season. No excuses tonight.

This is actually a good thing. With TA7 back he will play everyday, and this keeps Engel in the outfield over Garcia. Madrigal needs to get back quickly though, since Mendick has to do a huge lift and SS backup is not great for him at all.

Can Keuchel just be player manager? Honestly. Think of the money you could save Jerry!!

Whelp. Engel giveth and he taketh away. That kills this game. night boys. they get to .500 tomorrow.

Agreed. they still need another starter for that to happen.

Bummer that Keuchel has such a thin margin for error because the offense. Gonna be tough now with that extra run.

I love Moncada, but he just doesn't seem to have the clutch gene from the right side of the plate. Still think they string some more hits together tonight.

Is there a dumber play in baseball than sliding into 1st?

yeah, great contact. bummer that couldn't see its way through though.

Sox need to ask for Robo umps tonight.

Keuchel with another stellar inning. Sox are stringing some hits this game

1 run? Detroit sucks and its their bullpen. Sox are winning this. Keuchel still looks great.

Agreed. Launch angle doesn't matter when your bat is in quicksand. I wonder what bat weight he uses.

Great scouting to notice the flaw in Mazara's swing. They somehow made it even worse.

Man, I love Keuchel. Wheeler and Keuchel was the dream. Dang it's nice to have a pro out there.

Even after he ate the real Miguel Cabrera?

Take away a potential trade partner (but also have a better FA reduced contract chance) as Stroman opts out for season. This one surprises me on a contract year and wanting to show he is healthy. This really could be a great pickup for Sox to get TOR potential without a 5+ year deal. No one is giving him more than 3 years after this and honestly he may want to do just a one year prove it deal, which could be amazing for the Sox.

Putrid. Have they done one hit and run during that stretch? It seems like so many first pitch swings they don't even strategize.

Cleveland's pitching staff is one of the better ones in recent memory. Sox battled yesterday. Season all hinges on another starter coming up big. Giolito and Keuchel are good to go and Cease is starting to makes some strides. 2 of Rodon, Lopez, Gio or Dunning have to stay healthy the rest of the season and give a solid 5 each start. The bullpen has been great so far, but being 2 starters down is just not going to work even in a sprint.

whelp. time to logoff. have a good evening gentlemen. what a shit show this became. thanks umps.

Robert up first with a runner on second. I like that.

shoulda walked him in hindsight. nailbite time.

how does mazara watch that go by? I just don't get the plate plan for so many of these at bats this season

Eloy needs a day or two off.
