Not sure why anyone should care about larger than normal font size. I don't feel yelled at . I appreciate the effort to reduce eye strain. Not sucks necessarily the way I remember it but more like not established enough to give up so much . Others believed he was going to be great.

Lynn, Crochet and Ruiz were great. Leury was clutch . Jose and Eloy need to wake up. Kimbrel should be demoted . Tepera time in the 8th. Bummer, Crochet, Kopech Ruiz should all pitch ahead of Kimbrel .

Larry !!!!!!

I was calling for Graveman and surprisingly Seattle made him available while trying to make the playoffs at the same time.

Lynn is a baller

He's pitching well.

A few runs would be awesome

Thanks HP ump

Lots of warning track outs this series by the Sox

I don't know if it was going foul. It was still on the grass but makes sense to see if it does.

With Robert and Moncada and Grandal all hot I'd put them 1 ,2, 3.

Real good 3 IP for Lance. How long has Seby been catching ? Gotta let that one roll.

Should've pulled the old thread

He's a good enough hitter to see if he can get one in his zone.

Was YoYo really given a double ? How was that not an error? Yo approached 1st like it was a single , made the turn like it was a single and only went when the OF missed it.

Keep pounding the ball Luis

Happy with a 3 run HR when we rarely see 2 runs driven home on 1 swing. I love Carlos Rodon. BP was pretty good . Tepera a bit snake bit. Bogus triple.

This is kind of cloudy with a chance of meatballs. I don't even know what it actually means it's so vague. How many years is "recent years" and who are "most people" who are doing the discussing and are the top 2 AL teams being "discussed" the teams with the 2 best records ? And finally was there some kind of fact check involved of the AL pennant winning teams that showed they were discussed the most as a top 2 team by most people in recent years ?

5 innings is about all we can reasonably expect so the BP is going at least 4 regardless.

Not unless the Sox get equal or more runs off Montas in the same amount of innings.

We'll see just how bad of a funk Oakland is in right now. It's funky Keuchel vs. funky A's. The least funky will triumph. Also the Sox need to kick Montas' ass and avoid flying projectiles.

That's one way to look at it. However compared to what he's making this year , he has already made himself much more for the coming couple years unless he ends up getting surgery again. The smart money was always on him not holding up this season due to lack of innings pitched the last 2 years. He's saved his career as a starter.

It's alphabetical, not in order of most entertaining.

In the post game TLR said Abreu was crowing about his defense and telling LaRussa that's why he should never play DH and LaRussa agreed with him and told him, Yea you are never playing DH again... until Thursday !

Despite Oakland being Oakland, 2 HBP and 1 HBLID ( hit by liner in dugout) and a boatload of runners left on base, there were enough good things going on to overcome it. > Jimmy Lambert : 5 strong innings > Non-Burr relief pitching : Crochet, Tepera, KImbrel, Hendricks > 15 hits , 3 a piece by Leury and YoYo including the only 3 extra base hits the Sox got , 2 doubles by Moncada and 1 by Leury. No RBI's for either of them > The ribbies. 2 by Goodwin a broken bat single while facing a lefty after replacing Eloy. Sheets a single off a lefty to drive in a run in the 5th and went 2 for 5. Cesar an oppo single driving in 2 in the 5th also with 2 hits on the night. > Robert being Robert : He's done a nice job leading off in place of TA . He went 2 for 6 and made a nice running catch on a ball over his head. He also over ran a single that allowed a run to score. > Grandal : He was 1 for 3 with a walk that drove in a run. It takes a team.
