If he is going to make a living as a reliever he better learn.

Carson and walks are a bad combination.

Why does Carson coming into the game not comfort me?

Ruiz looking good. Be nice if someone like him found their way to competence.

This game is like watching a rerun of a spring training game. Boring!

We're only trailing by 3 runs. It feels like 10.

Our pitchers pitch better when McCann is catching them.

Engel show off his wears. Speed is a very good tool.

Collins still looking like an easy out. Need to keep playing him to see what we have in him.

Nice play by Moncada. In general our infield play is very good. Timmy makes some dumb plays but he seems to be working on that lately.

When we complete this lineup next year...there will be no pitching around anyone.

Timmy with a hit to right. He's the main reason to be watching this game as he chases a rare batting title.

Terrible pitch selection on 1 - 2 pitch. Someone needs to change how Sox pitchers prepare for the 1st inning.

Lopez just served up a distraction. 2-0 KC

You lost me at "defense is lousy any where you put him."

He has good odds at improving.

I wish Castillo could just watch the game from the bench. Nothing he does is of interest to me.

I know what you mean about the eye rolling. Your idea sounds brilliant compared to those who suggested moving Moncada to second an trading Madrigal.

I would rather use Engel than Leury in that case. At least he can keep his head in the game. Defense and speed wins games just like hitting.

So who is that right fielder you recommend?

We have 25 wins less than the Twins. The 15 game improvement you mention plus Robert, Madrigal, Cease, Kopech and whatever Dunning and Rodon get you. I fully expect to compete next year.

Did you mean 17 games left?

We have a good offseason and compete for the playoffs in 2020 or I will join the lynch mob.

It's time to get over the hump and start competing.

Peer pressure from our Cuban connection might be just the thing.
