.???? Glad you were wrong.

Dreaded lead off walk does not help.

It would have helped to DFA Keuchel earlier. DK just got DFA again by the Rangers after a 12 ERA in 2 starts.

It would help if we stop swinging at balls 6 inches off the plate like Vaughn just did.

AJP in the Fox broadcast was also saying that Cease should not throw a strike to Arreaz and let Arreaz get himself out of the zone or walk him. Don’t let Arreaz spoil his no hitter. Arreaz is a big contact hitter.

Still you don’t need to throw a strike to possibly the league’s best hitter. An asterisk would have been an intentional walk, but burying four in the dirt or way off the plate would have been wiser. Regardless, great game, and Cease moving closer to the Cy Young.

Our guys should just swing away and get this 8 th inning over as quickly as possible, to get Cease out there for the no hitter.

Baldelli is a bad manager. Raised the white flag early in the game. Fox commentators called him out on pulling out Correa and Kepler early.

Baldelli being called out by AJP for taking out Correa and Kepler so early in the game. Sox and Cease are happy with this move though.

Like that Cairo is using the hit and run, which TLR was not. With TLR, we were seeing one DP after another.

Keeping TLR in Arizona is key to an awesome month.

Along with Earl Weaver spirit. We certainly welcome the good ole 3 run homer.

Common denominator in this winning streak is no TLR in the dugout.

Andrus is probably our best base runner.

You should be able to watch the Sox game in MLB network?

He is, and approximating TLR.

Fortunately we got Liam instead, but we lose both Sheets and Eloy for possible extras.

Wow! A Yas bat drop finally! I have to eat some crow after dumping on him earlier.

Then let ReyLo go a second inning. Cleveland has already lost tonight. We need to go all out.

Not pitching ReyLo or Graveman in the dreaded 8 th with game tied in the 8th and the division is on the line is totally UNACCEPTABLE. Looks like Cairo may be TLR 2.

The 8 th inning has been our Achilles heel. Harrison error hurt big time and Romy failure to pick up ball cleanly also hurt. Our D sucks big time. Would have liked to have Lopez go two innings. Jimmy Lambert is a rookie who has not done as well in high leverage situations.

Yaz hitting 5 th is tough. We have the slowest runners in MLB hitting back to back: Vaughn, Abreu, Sheets and Grandal, and not much speed in the rest of the line up. Our lineup tonight is mostly AAA. Our bullpen will have to win this game.

It would not have happened if Abreu would have moved the runner to 3rd. Will take it though.

Hard to;win with no TA, Eloy,Robert,Yoan, and Kopech.

The Three Stooges. JR, Hahn, TLR, with KW coordinating.
