First change up was so meat, but he keeps pulling off

Eloy is way off. He needs to sit a game.

Elevate

I think we’re on a different page. I’m saying Rodon to the pen was something they discussed with that group as a solution going forward, not that Keuchel asked for it.

Righty sliders is our weakness

Hell of an at bat by Engel. We need a big hit here by Timmy

I think he was one of the 7 they talked to and discussed their plan for Rodon with him.

Great at bats so far. Mendick best swing in a week

I doubt Keuchel is worried about PR

Don’t watch Royals enough to know their tendencies. I’ve seen enough Sox games to know they’ve been burned an inordinate amount on inside fastball pitch calls up in the count, especially when Grandal is catching.

Yes I’ve heard him mentioned as taking Lopez spot or being an Andrew Miller type reliever.

There’s one! Way to go Edwin

Makes you think they are putting way too much stock into Rodon returning.

Absolutely I will, he has a distinct pattern as catcher and it hasn’t paid off with many of the pitchers.

Yep and when you have someone like Cease who pulls all of his pitches, he’s going to leave that inside fastball over the plate an awful lot.

Here we go with inside fastballs with 2 strikes again. Grandal is so bad back there.

Eloy hit it 78 mph, it must have been off end of bat

We keep moving guys up in the order that are struggling. Eloy keeps trying to pull everything, which isn’t his best approach.

With Yoan back on the roster, there’s no need for Yolmer

I’m torn on whether or not he should still be playing. Sox desperately need his lefty bat in the order, but he’s clearly struggling and has been more of a hinderance than anything else the last few weeks. On the other hand, you have to be careful that his leg issues don’t lead to a more significant injury to his knee or Achilles due to having to run differently.

Yeah outside of walks, he’s not hitting well and really struggling in the field.

Then there wouldn’t be enough to field a lineup. I just hate benching arguably your two hottest hitters in Madrigal and McCann when the team is in a slump.

Yeah I think he’s injured. I’m not blaming Cooper for the velocity issues.

It’s funnier to me that Robert is batting 7th

Is he training with Reynaldo or something? Wow, that’s a crazy dip.
