Latos doesn't have good stuff today. Still hanging his offspeed stuff way too much. Here comes a big inning

Jackson picks them up!

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 11, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Maybe if he didn't think he had "a job to do", he wouldn't be swinging at garbage His approach was god awful. Was trying to pull everything

Just a terrible at bat by Saladino. They need to be playing Rollins against every LHP

Hamels has nasty command so far

Even on bad throws, Eaton can do no wrong

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:11 PM) Hes actually been a very effective reliever in the majors believe it or not. I believe it was fine to put him in when they did, but left him in one batter too long.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Tomorrow and Monday Like hell will they give Lawrie a day off. You think anyone wants him sitting in the dugout with them the whole game!

This team has surprised us all year by winning games we thought they had no business winning. Let's hope today is more of the same. Even if they lose, no reason at all to panic.

One thing I think most of us agree on is that the Sox should be looking to the system or outside for a 4th outfielder to replace Sands and a better long reliever than Carroll.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:01 AM) The other thing that killed them was Carroll struck Andrus out but the umpire didn't give him the call. Got to two strikes on 5 of the 7 batters that scored that inning

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:57 AM) Bullpen and Albers especially were due for regression. Unfortunately it happened in the span of one f***ing inning. Just like last night, the bullpen implosion wouldn't have been bad if the defense just made a play that was tough but should be made most of the time. Also I really hate Ian Desmond.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:53 AM) He gave up a hit to Moreland the guy he was brought in to get out. Also had no empty bases and then got Odor out

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:49 AM) Isn't that what you got? Nope Carroll stayed in the game and walked him

Hardest loss to take in a while, at least that means the team matters. Oh well, time to see if they can bounce back tomorrow.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:47 AM) You have to treat every game like it is the 7th game of the WS. If it means your bullpen is blown out the second week of May so be it, these guys have been wanting to crush Robin since last season ended. That is what all this silliness is about. Notice they didn't have any alternatives until after the fact, if then. I was calling for Duke as soon as Mazara was announced

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:46 AM) I have a hard time putting this on Robin, we had a 5-run god dam lead, the pitchers f***ing blew it. Albers clearly had nothing. Velocity was 90 or so

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:41 AM) Yeah he should have brought in Albers sooner. He was fantastic. Where did you lose all your sense? The bullpen was taxed. Everyone's favorite came in let everyone on base score and 2 more. He had Duke and Putnam up right away. Carroll makes those guys look like Pedro.

Ha nice strike call

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) Maybe actually use your mlb pitchers instead of AAA junk pitchers and you actually could win. Just think Rodon did better in 7 innings then the bullpen did in 1 Pitched our mop up man in a game we were winning.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) you are the worst sometimes, my man. Carroll had no business at all pitching to Mazara. Not a single part of that decision makes sense.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) nothing will top this game as the most frustrating I have NO idea what AJ was doing on that ball hit to center.. going to cost us the game Should have been playing no doubles to start with

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:37 AM) Yes a five run lead in the eighth after we went twelve the night before...for Pete sake if you can't trust Carroll for that than he shouldn't be on the roster. Their isn't a pitcher in the bigs (or shouldn't be) who couldn't be expected to handle a five run lead in the ninth. s*** happens...need to overcomes. Carroll is not a major leaguer. No idea why they like him so much

Thanks Robin

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:36 AM) put down the bong It has been. The 8th last night was awful and Jackson has two misplays tonight
