Leadoff double and he doesn't score. Ridiculous.

About the only Twitter talk the Sox get outside of Sox Twitter is from Pitching Ninja.

I was scrolling quickly by and thought this said "Andrew Vaughn owns your titties"

Series win against the Rays would be huge. Go Sox!

I don't see Vaughn going anywhere. He's hitting fairly well at the MLB level, and this is the best way for him to learn. Eaton to the IL and/or DFA'd would be more palatable, for me anyway.

Keuchel has been great his last few times out, and yesterday he was really damn good. I think earlier in the season he was trying to finesse too much and didn't have the best feel for his pitches. He seems to be very comfortable on the mound now and is trusting his stuff. Way back before Eloy and Robert got hurt, who would have said, "Thank god for Adam Engel"? Well, thank god for Adam Engel. Leury had a nice game. His pick that started the DP was impressive for a guy who doesn't play a lot of 3B. A really nice team win.

*checks calendar* Well, it's 2021, and the Rays have the best record in baseball. The banged up Sox with a patchwork OF and IF beat the aforementioned best team in baseball by playing a complete game led by some outstanding starting pitching.

I think we all suspected this. Sucks, but hopefully he'll heal and be ready for next season. I don't see how they Sox don't go out and fill this spot. Frazier or Escobar would be nice fits.

Got my tickets to the 7/18 game against Houston. So excited to get back to the park.

Mercedes is certainly not as good a hitter as he was early in the season, however, I don't think he's as bad a hitter as he is right now. He's going to need to make some more adjustments and stop getting himself into 2-strike holes. I don't know what a full season of Yermin looks like, but we may not get to see that if he doesn't improve pretty soon. Luckily for him, though, there aren't much in the way of better options right now. It seems like Eaton is playing with a bunch of nagging, prolonged injuries. He seems to hobble around in the field and doesn't seem to have much of a base when he's at the plate. Unlike with Yermin, there are several options for RF that are better than him right now (Goodwin, Lamb, Leury). Leury has been hitting better recently. He's still a decent bench piece that is being over-used due to injuries. Vaughn will be streaky as he continues to learn at the plate. I'm not concerned about him, and he needs to play every day so he can continue to get better.

Changeup at 92.

Moncada is either in his own head or his head is not in the game right now.

I was really surprised when I heard that. Arrieta didn't surprise me, though.

Nice pitch.

This might be the best Keuchel has looked this season.

The starting pitching has been great. The bullpen has been spotty. Last night was a perfect example of why this team will be in trouble if they lose much more in the way of starting offense.

Looking forward to getting to a game. Between the family and some friends, we'll have a decent sized group, and with limited capacity it was hard to find enough seats even close to each other. Watching the games on TV, the crowds have seemed electric. It'll be nice to experience that in person.

I love Lance Lynn.

Big dick Nick!

Holy shit.

Terrible.

Technically a wheat ale. But it has some decent hops to it. Quite delicious.

How many times would he be pulled over in his Rascal at the old folks' home for "cruising under the influence" before he was let go?

I like the idea. He would most likely be heavily sought after and may be too pricey. Who knows, though. The Pirates have been selling for years, and maybe Reynolds is a guy they'll want to hold on to.
