No. Like Mendick and Garcia (and others), he’s a backup player being exposed playing everyday.

Knew that was coming.

Thought for sure that was going to drop. Hawk: We find another way…

Ferfucksake. Enough with the self-imposed 0-2 counts. Swing the damn bat.

Good baseball is contagious, and so is bad baseball. This team has a case of bad baseball running through the clubhouse.

So frustrating to watch this team right now.

Grandal needs to be in the lineup everyday…or nearly everyday.

Christ Yaz killed that ball.

With the way the offense has been playing, I agree.

If the guy can hit at the MLB level, I think this is a good idea. 2B is a higher profile position, though. Lots of plays run through the middle infield. We, as fans, would have to be patient with him because he'd miss some plays and make some mistakes. But, again, if he hits, it'll be easier to forgive some defensive issues.

Weather all weekend looks shitty. Hopefully they can get the games in. Tonight's game looks safe, if we believe the forecast. It will be nice to see the stadium packed again. Hopefully the bats come to life after being pretty quiet on the road trip. Go Sox!

True. And we've had enough drama lately.

Are we stunned into silence with the win? Decent outing by Cease. Grandal is Great again. Bummer really stepped up. Hendriks was good, especially considering he hadn't had a save opportunity in a while.

Well, if the Sox were looking at Frazier, he had a nice audition this series.

Or IL watch.

Hendriks firing.

Okay. Here comes the challenge for Hendriks. When did he pitch last?

Neither, I suspect. They will continue to be streaky, and without some additions, it’s going to a tough go to keep Cleveland at bay.

Not when it’s straight as an arrow, consistently.

I get there are a lot of injuries, and therefore they’re playing the second and even third strings in some positions. They were probably playing above they’re level going into Houston. But this team just fell off a damn cliff. Soon to be 5 game losing streak with very little going right for them.

So fucking predictable.

So, Yasmani is good.

Giolito is doing his part. Time for the offense to sack up.

I think the Sox left their bats in Chicago. Piss poor performance tonight.

The Sox looked bad this weekend, and the Astros are a good team. I'm not sure any of us would have thought they were cheating if they hadn't been caught, but it's hard now to think they aren't cheating. They never looked lost at the plate, never got fooled (except against Rodon). But, good-hitting teams will hit the baseball, especially when the pitching isn't great. And our pitching was pretty bad (again, aside from Rodon). If they're still cheating, they're doing a good job of hiding it. They have to be under a microscope, so the days of trash cans and monitors are over.
