Gavin is hitting some long balls that have been sorely missing. He should not be sent down to AAA. IMO.

Let’s keep him. Do not trade him at deadline this season. He can be a very exciting, dominating pitcher.

And Romy although had an RBI on a SF, has not had a hit since April 27 th. The bottom of our lineup is populated by automatic outs.

Sox having a hard time getting more than 3 runs in a game.

You were absolutely right. Kopech dealing tonight, perfecto thru 5.

Still Romy and Seby hitting back to back is brutal. They are hitting in the mid .100s.

And Vaughn is very slow.

Where was he going anyway? Vaughn was staying put at 3rd. No awareness.

No homers generally mean a loss for the Sox.

Grifol looks like low energy. Not what we need with this bunch. IMO.

Sounds like the Ohio version of the Sox.

And Kelly has been much better lately.

He is not the only one. Sox hitters don’t like to take walks. That’s why we don’t score many runs with lots of hits.

Our 7-9 hitters have been brutal this season.

TA’s mind was somewhere else today.

It’s hard to win games with not scoring with the bases loaded and no outs, not taking walks and awful defense as shown by TA today.

Cleveland is a worse team than the Sox at this time. Sox offensive numbers much better than Cleveland, although Cleveland has lower ERA.

Finally TA goes the other way with a RISP.

I would prefer Kelly nowadays as a closer rather than Graveman.

I am glad that we finally ran into a team that is worse than the Sox.

It’s great to back playing the weak AL Central at home. It has been brutal going against the other MLB divisions.

Age is catching up with Verlander. Lots of wear and tear with those older pitchers, particularly the one with Kate Upton at home.

Sounds like a good plan to try.

That is because we don’t take any walks to go with the hits.
