QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) That was all on the defensive positioning. They were playing Mauer like he was Jose Abreu. Advanced scouting failure 101

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) His peripherals are all better than last year. It is not transferring to the field IMO.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 10:21 PM) With RISP and 2 outs, hitters are now 15-37 against Quintana for a 1.002 OPS Q has been awful with 2 outs still think he has regressed this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) De Aza playing WAY too deep there. Q of course gives up the 2 out run. No reason to play Mauer that deep in LF.

Mauer ties it 2-2 what new.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 10:10 PM) And Abreu with a horrible swing. Is it really hard to lay off that pitch? He swings at it everytime pitchers are only going to throw that pitch over and over till he lays off.

Sox 2-1

Nice hit and run with Eaton.

Gavin Floyd left Thursday's start against the Nationals with a possible elbow injury. The Braves' trainer came out to check on Floyd after he threw his first pitch of the seventh inning. The righty was having his elbow looked at before walking off the field. Obviously, it's a bad sign given that Floyd was making his ninth start since returning from Tommy John surgery. He had spun six scoreless frames before exiting. We probably won't know much about his status until after the game. Per Rotoworld

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 05:49 PM) My team died when Jose Fernandez went on DL. Can't express how nice having 30 points automatically (sometimes 60) does to help win. I've been in the doldrums but took a flyer on Andrew Heaney weeks ago and Henderson Alvarez. I've been really pleased with Alvarez, and just hope like hell Heaney is bigtime. I picked up Heaney in 4 leagues ready to watch him in 10 minutes. He has been good in minors.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 02:29 PM) Beware, someone making their major league debut tonight. Hoping to increase the win streak and start off the road trip on a high note. Hope the Sox reverse that trend.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) Verlander had surgery in the offseason maybe he is not fully healthy yet. I think Verlander will be fine he never got to workout all winter and next season he will be better. It is just one of those years.

Sox 7-3 thru 7

He did good to limit the damage.

Sox 7-3

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 03:36 PM) Why couldn't they just pull him at 101 pitches after 6? It's not like he was dominating. I never understand RV.

Alexi robbed nice grab.

Sox 7-2 Dunn bomb..................1 more inning for Sale then turn it over to the pen.

Sox 4-2

Sox 4-1

Sox 4-0

Do something Flowers.

2 hit batters for Sale unusual.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 02:10 PM) Pedro? Sorry Pablo I fixed it.

Pablo no chance against Sale.
