It would have been at least six Sox runs today and 14 runs to 11,, if the wind was not blowing in..

Sox are fortunate that the Central is a weak division, so you may be able to win it with a .500 record coming in. If we want to make the playoffs, we will need to win the division. Wild card for the Central would be more difficult.

Brezoben has been worse than Seranthony so far.

Doyle should have been in for D in the 9 th.

We needed a homer in the final few innings as our small ball is not working.

Braden almost hit a homer!

Colson is the best hitting Montgomery now.

Brezoban walk scores the tying run. He is the Seranthony reincarnation.

Hate relievers that walk 2 in a row, particularly 8th and 9 th batters in a one run game. Brezoban looks like the Seranthony reincarnation. Particularly high fast balls.

He needs to learn to go the other way to get a runner over to 3rd, with less than 2 outs.

Will is also very stubborn on splits regardless of the players involved.

Three homers in 1 1/3 games is Barry Bondesque.

Fedde got a copy of the memo to not let PCA beat us, and gave him Barry Bonds treatment., contrary to Hudson who did not get the memo.

Memo to Will: Do not let PCA beat us again.

Doyle also would not have bobbled that ball in CF as Peters did, that allowed the Cubs run to score.

Agree. Our defense was mediocre at best, and our manager made some bad decisions. IMO.

We need to hit some homers and build a big lead and avoid Manfred ball. Then we have a big chance.

Respectfully agree to disagree with Will and you. PCA is the best player in MLB who were scorching the ball tonight. You don’t let him beat you. You don’t let splits get on the way.

Another observation tonight was that we need to improve our Manfred ball execution. We really suck in small ball and extras, and keep losing in extra innings.

In summary, main learning tonight was don’t let PCA beat you. It reminded me of the time when we were competing with the Indians, and we were saying don’t let Jose Ramirez beat you, and he kept beating us. I hope Will learnt this lesson.

That’s laughable. PCA is the best player in MLB, and you don’t let him beat you. Take my chances with Suzuki…PCA was also seeing the ball well in this game. Venablehas been very disappointing lately. imo.

Agree. You cannot let PCA beat you. Will screwed up again. PCA was like 4 for 5 in this game also.

Is he related to Angel Hernandez?

Agree, maybe if it is a strike a bell rings?

The problem is that too many challenges will slow the game down.
