1 inning closer type marketing him for a trade. Wins don't matter , trade value does.

Saw the replay. I think it was close.

Kopech dominant that inning Walk off time.

Dude aced him with 2 FBs on the edge after not throwing a FB for a strike to Vaughn. Not gonna blame Robert for being down 0-2 in that count. Didn't look like he swung on the appealed strike 3

Some nice catches by the Roc OF kept the Sox off the board that inning.

Vaughn starts the comeback with a solo shot.

Crochet is a terrible fielder and at holding runners.Threw that bunt away and then threw the appeal play ball away. Didn't make sure the guy on third wasn't to far off 3rd before that appeal play last time and today he balked a runner home and put the other guy in scoring position and he then scored .

You never said anything about an extension to lift innings restrictions for this year. And it also said the team acquiring him would be offering the extension not the Sox. You were blaming Getz. Would be very odd for Crochet to agree to a long term deal to lift any innings limits for this year.Why would any GM risk Crochet's future by pitching him into a lengthy post season this year? That wouldn't make sense to sign him long term then try to pitch him to death the rest of the season for a short term gain that likely won't work and end up paying more money to do it. I'm sure Crochet would love a $100M contract but he's still going to be on a plan this season and it's not going to be a plan that included pitching a possible 200 innings into late October or early November.

Our very own "Rocket. " Maybe not for much longer though. His name even looks like rocket if rochet was French for Rocket which it isn't.

Oh you're a good Catholic boy Gregory. What does the good Book say ? You must be like a little child to enter the Kingdom of heaven . While as adults we might think that call was at best rather silly and at worst ridiculous but let's also remember what we might've thought hearing it as a young baseball fan. Hopefully children still go to games and watch games on TV with Dad or Mom . Kids might like it and if makes a kid smile or like it enough to want to watch more .Hopefully, as parents watching with our children, we're not cursing at the TV in front of them.

Season high 11 runs. HRs by La Pantera, DeBong, KLee, Sosa. Junior's HR was 470 ft. Cannon 5.2 innings 3 runs 3 hits but 2 were long balls. BP Banks, Wilson ,Anderson 0 runs 1 H in 3.1 IP Final Sox 11 Rox 3

That was a fun inning.3 game win streak.

What pressure ? Mostly It's just a few guys hitting better, DeJong and Vaughn. Robert more walks more HRs.Benitendi more dingers.

Believe it or not June has also been the Sox best hitting month too. Batting average, OBP, SLUGGING, OPS, HRs all better than April and May.

June is almost over and the Sox starting pitching has been 6th best in the majors for the month with a 3.79 ERA. The Sox are 8-18 in June

Hey this is a winners thread. If he wants to be optimistic about the 2nd half he can. I wanna see ya paint it ,paint it ,paint it Black . Black as night, black as coal.I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky. Stand up !

He's been taking more walks than usual pumping up the OBP.

Sox beat Rox 5-3. Thorpe looked good. Couple of trade candidates did well. Good game !

Winner winner chicken dinner !

Soroka at times either looks like he's about to figure things out and return to greatness or be out of baseball soon. He does have real good stuff in sports. Don't know if it's a hot gun but he got the fastball to 97 98 a few times hasn't he ? His curve/slider/sweeper has good horizontal movement too. Who here knows where to find stats about his stuff ? Usually there's stats like that after every appearance somewhere online.

Hey we agree on something but that's only because it's too good to ever happen.

I don't think either one gets traded by the deadline.Doubtful anyone meets the asking price for either one. If I had to pick which one I think is more likely to be moved it's Luis mainly because Crochet isn't likely to still be effective in October for a long playoff run

A starting pitcher must pitch 5 innings to qualify for the win.After that since the lead was never relinquished I believe it's up to the official scorer to determine the winner. The scorer most likely determined that Schuster pitched the most meaningful innings after Kuhl since he pitched 3 shutout innings.

Happy Birthday!
