  1. Sheets really expanding the zone of late
  2. you can't tell me it would be hard to steal against a righty reliever with a man on 3rd
  3. Hey Yoan! Nice job, now steal 2nd.
  4. Sox just refusing to hold runners. Doing so many little things poorly.
  5. Fast guy on first, sinker ball pitcher and a hitter that hits a ton of grounders. You have to put Engel in motion.
  6. The teams behind the Sox (Indians and Tigers) play each other enough coming up that if the Sox keep struggling, they're going to find this race close again.
  7. If they lose, will easily be the worst loss of the season.
  8. Most obvious outcome of the season. You have to run Engel there
  9. Nice change of events there. Abreu needs to elevate here, but it has all the makings of a DP
  10. already thrown more sliders that didn't hang than with the Sox this year
  11. that's happening this offseason if he doesn't implode here
  12. You always hear about closers that can't pitch without the adrenaline. I think it's stupid also, but it's a mental thing for these guys.
  13. simply put, you don't trade for the best closer in baseball and not make him the closer. He has very little experience as a set-up man. His velocity is down without the added adrenaline. He also excels by throwing curves when hitter is expecting a fastball. Romine needed to see a curve on 2-2 or 3-2.
  14. Way to keep throwing that inside fastball to a lefty with wind blowing out
  15. Hendriks absolutely needs to be in the 8th inning.
  16. Also trading for a closer and putting him in a set-up spot
