Damn, nice at bat by Avi

The great Ned Yost strikes again

Shuck!

Bad baseball there, as Melky should have taken until he gets a strike.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) If the Sox lose 3 of 4 as most everybody expected, do the trades begin? Or not. People expect the Sox to lose with Sale going tomorrow? That's news to me.

Should have brought El Duque in instead of Duke

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 09:28 PM) Petricka's had a very good year. Don't say that he doesn't do his job and s*** because of one outing. Still gives up way too many hits for a set-up man. League hitting about .290 off him this year.

Well, Petricka sucked today.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) #2 of his career amazingly enough. Nice combination of 100 mph fastball and wind blowing out, I guess

Pretty sure that's his 2nd career opposite field homer, and his first since June of 2008

The incredibly rare opposite field Alexei homer!!!

This umpire is missing an insane amount of calls the last few innings.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Has there ever been a team less ready when the lights go on? Other teams have a game plan against our pitchers, especially the divisional foes. They have learned more about us than we about them in the same games, and THAT folks is one of the clearest indictments of our coaching/managing. Unless you want to believe there's some kind of huge talent gap. The record against the rest of the league tells me there isn't. Something is definitely broken. Not sure if it's on the players or coaches, but I've never seen anything like this.

Nice job by Putnam

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) Those first inning runs came back to bite Q lol If score stands, he'll be tied for AL in losses

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) Q nearing the end. Get through this inning without a run . Damn no sooner typed it ..... Stone seems pissed at the pitch selection

And Q gives the run right back. He had nothing this inning.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) Our ace, one of the best pitchers in baseball, wants him catching him. That may have something to do with it too. Yep, he's not going anywhere.

What awful swings by Flowers. Maybe the worst at bat of the season.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) No double play here, Alexei. Best job he's done not rolling over on a pitch in a long time.

Nice job Alexei elevating!

Stoney with great announcing prior to Abreu's hit

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Good job Q hang in there buddy, the hitters will get you a win but they need to get at least 2 more off Guthrie before Yost pulls him. Rain delay will occur in a little bit it occurs. It would be great to get 2 this inning and then let it rain the rest of the day.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Saladino is so hot it's amazing. If the Sox send him down there may be a riot outside the Cell. With all these other lousy players he's a breath of fresh air. There's been nothing to suggest they're going to send him down.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 07:42 PM) Laroche is terrible Yep, sucks that he still has another year left on his contract. At least Dunn hit homers.
