It’s been astonishing how well their record is with some of the awful lineups we’ve seen. Pitching has really saved this team this month.

still too many uncompetitive pitches for Cease

He was always such a prime candidate for someone to fall off a cliff in terms of work ethic once they got a huge contract

Cause he sucks

Because they don’t hit ground balls nearly as much

Seems so obvious the Sox catchers are not framing well this year

Not keeping them honest with the fastball this inning. So much for Cease having a good game.

Torres treating the Sox like we’re the Orioles. Who knows, maybe this series will wake Hahn and Tony the fuck up. Just so happy for all the stupid controversy this week when they were rolling.

Sox don’t hit home runs. You can’t expect to get 3 hits in an inning against someone like Cole. The Sox had a ton of BABIP success the first month or so but now we’re seeing a big lack of slugging.

Vaughn will go down before Mercedes. Also I will believe Eloy is healthy and ready to go when I see it.

Gonna win with pitching, speed and defense like it’s the 80s.

Just saw replay of the Leury DP. There is no way that ball was fair.

Well this is a horrible take

I’m sure Timmy will love getting asked about his worst slump coinciding with it

Hitting as many ground balls as the Sox do, this type of issue was always lurking. Gotta find a way to hit more homers than the opposition in close games.

3 runs in last 28 innings

Agreed but after the main 4 hitters, you have five guys who should be 8th or 9th

Eaton might be the worst on the team at chasing breaking pitches in the dirt

Because Tony doesn’t want robot umps so why draw attention to bad umpires. The sooner people realize he returned to try to fix the game and not necessarily help the Sox win, the easier it is to figure out why he’s doing things.

If it was the Twins batting Tony would argue

He took the job to “change the game”, Olin and simple. Everyone thinks he’s had a bad week but I guarantee you he’s had an erection for days after Parcells said he agrees with him.

Really wish they would just let Grandal bat 8th or 9th. No reason he should bat in a traditional driving in runners spot. Can’t believe he still has another two full seasons.

That’s also taking into account pre-injury Eaton. He’s much less effective now.

Lineup is just so mediocre right now against RHP. Cole was always going to be tough, but you look up and down the lineup and the lack of power is striking.
