Melky needs to elevate here. He struggles to do that batting righty it seems.

Great hold by McEwing there after a very nice hit for Jackson.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 28, 2016 -> 01:34 AM) How did Avi not get to 3rd on that? No chance

Been a while since one of the catchers has done anything productive on offense

Single for Avi, very nice swing.

An Avi blast to right center might be the Sox best chance to score off Duffy. Orioles got the lead again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 28, 2016 -> 02:23 AM) That's because the Red Sox actually invest a ton of money into scouting, both the US and internationally. It would be instructive to know if we would have taken him over Fulmer had he slipped past BOS. Probably not. Were there any rumors of Sox interest? Sox were one of the first teams in the top 10 that had interest in him, I believe

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 28, 2016 -> 01:24 AM) No one is getting fired nor should they be Yep, Steverson's working wonders for the 2nd straight year with this offense.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 28, 2016 -> 01:18 AM) When you are discarded by the Indians and they're starting Lonnie Chisenhall in RF, you know you're really not good. He's not a bad player. Would be 5th on the Sox offense in terms of fWAR.

Is this the time in batting practice where you tell the hitters to stop working on their opposite field stroke? These at bats are so bad.

46% K rate for Sands

Someone please get around on a fastball!

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 28, 2016 -> 01:14 AM) Hawk's attitude at Stone is so old. "I've been around this league a lot longer than you". STFU. At least we haven't heard about the prize shelf.

Nice turn by Lawrie. Gonzalez keeping them in the game.

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 28, 2016 -> 02:07 AM) Kiss first place goodbye this weekend 4th place by next Sunday night is a very real possibility. This team has completely lost its swagger and confidence.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 28, 2016 -> 02:06 AM) Maybe of KC throws a perfect game then the Sox will get off their asses and make some changes. Yep, move Rollins back to 2nd vs RHP tomorrow

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 28, 2016 -> 02:02 AM) Good Lord this offense is pathetic. They just struggle so much to turn on fastballs.

Jackson is just incapable of pulling a fastball. Looks like Brent Morel out there.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 28, 2016 -> 12:57 AM) The problem is with JR as the owner, nothing of substance will ever change. We will continue to be a horribly run organization from top to bottom with no future. Bulls and Sox are both clicking these days under JR

Sickening effort so far. If this effort takes place this entire road trip, changes better be made.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 28, 2016 -> 12:48 AM) 7 BBs. Yuck. Disaster. And the pick right before him, a player that had been potentially linked to the Sox, is already the 6th rated prospect in the minors.

Just walked 4 in an inning. 7 walks in 4 innings. ERA up to 5.87 This farm system is something disgusting this year outside of Anderson.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 28, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) Right now it feels like the Sox won't win two in a row ever again. Can't believe they went 23-10. Definitely playing like a team that's not going to contend. Just too many mediocre players getting too many at bats/innings.

Really think it's a mistake to make any major trades until this team proves it can start winning again.

These at bats are horrible. No shock they can't hit someone that throws hard.
