What the hell are the Sox waiting for, to get him out of the rotation? Move him to BP pitcher. That what he is good for at this time.

Regardless, allowing 4 runs after two outs and two strikes on the hitter is unacceptable. It has happened often this season. Keuchel is wild in the strike zone with crappy stuff. That is not going to cut it.

Keuchel is our biggest momentum killer. We will not be able to ever win more than 4 games in a row with him in the rotation. Soft stuff right down the middle is not going to cut it.

And then we can place him on 60 day IR with sore shoulder and arm, and TLR can no longer pencil him in Future games.

Forgive me for what may be a stupid question but why isn’t ReyLo starting this game or why hasn’t Keuchel being removed from the starting rotation??

Right on. We are also allergic to hit and run, putting runners in play. We have become the quintessential station to station team. Not so good with a high ground ball rate.

TLR prefers the switch hitter Leury instead. He is big on match ups.

We sure need good relief in the dreaded 8 th. When many games have gone down the drain.

Tonight Leuryhaving a great game shortened the thread.

The new Roman (Romy real first name) Empire.

Could we get to play the Pirates more often?

Don’t forget TLR and Goodwin who are frequent Soxtalk targets as well.

I don’t understand your statistic on Goodwin. Do you mean .589 on base percentage?. That can’t be.

Don’t recall many sacrifice flys this season.

Cesar is a Gold Glove winner. We need to ride his D, but he needs to up his offense pronto.

Romy is another former University of Miami Hurricanes star. Hopefully he works out as well as another UMiami star, Yasmani Grandal , and not like another former Miami player, Zach Collins. Welcome Romy.

The dreaded double play ball got us again. Get immunized fromDP ball with a hit and run injection. At least once in a while.

Good moves. I think Romy and Sheets will bring more power. Hamilton speed will be welcome. Foster is mop up material though. My only critical comment is why they didn’t DFA Lamb before, instead of Luis Gozalez who was a good oufielder that we lost to the Giants.

First time our Super Nasty Boys bullpen worked to perfection. Tepera, Kopech, Bummer, Kimbrel and Hendriks. Let’s bottle that.

And I also love the bat drops.

Stoney was saying that some days young players like AV get over matched by the pitchers. The worse news is that AV was facing Pirates pitching.

When is Engel coming back?

La Pantera was acting more like a cheetah speeding to catch that prey, er ball.

Sox broadcast chart showed 20% catch probability. I would venture with Goodwin it would have been 1% probability.

I am very glad that Goodwin was not playing CF in the 8 th. That line drive would have been at least a double. Not with La Pantera in there.
