Hey, look, one of the top 6 guys in the lineup got a single!

I didn't think it was over at 5-1 Sunday but I do think it's over at 5-1 today. Can't really explain why other than not feeling the energy today.

I'd have preferred a walk.

I don't think the Sox are coming back from down 5-1 again. Have to get out of this inning at 3-1.

Where are the TLR ass-kissers defending the decision to bring Kopech in?

Maybe Tony should have meant it when he said Kopech wasn't available.

When the ump is fucking the Sox over with the strike zone, they have to swing at shit pitches like that.

OK, damage limited, 2-3-4 up, let's get some runs.

Fuck!

Last pitch was his best slider so far.

Aside from getting the Sox on the board, Gavin's HR means that Cesar doesn't have to lead off the next inning.

Is that adding injury to insult?

OK, Eloy didn't get results but he laid off the bad pitches and hit the good one.

If Rodon comes out of this with nothing worse than pain/soreness, I 100% give him the QO. He can tag team the 5th spot with Keuchel or Lopez so he only has to start once every 10 days.

Whatever it was it worked.

Did he just sandbag by lobbing a 93 up there followed by three straight sliders to make them think he didn't have anything?

I showered and changed clothes Thursday and Friday and the Sox lost. I didn't shower or change clothes Sunday and the Sox won. Still wearing the same clothes (including underwear) and no shower, but I also haven't had to leave the house since Sunday.

Tendering Engel doesn't mean they are counting on him to be a regular. He can be a 4th OF or be traded, and the arb price tag doesn't hinder either path.

Yeah, he said everybody but Kopech and Giolito are available today.

I don't know. I got nothin.

Walkoff Sac Fly

Either one of them is a loser for caring what the other thinks.

I hope we find out whether or not the Raiders knew about this shit before hiring him.

Be patient yes, but be looking for his sinker in a specific half of the plate. If he throws it there on the first pitch, crush it. If he doesn't throw it there until the third pitch, then wait until the third pitch then crush it. Take his sliders or his sinkers at the edges or off the plate, but don't take pitches just to take pitches. If he has trouble throwing his slider for strikes and the hitters are disciplined enough to lay off them, it can get ugly for him.

Home Venue Advantage? Fancy.
