There was a post also that said the Sox better not bring him up this year I assume because of how bad he has looked lately and I thought hmm there's like 4 months left in the season all Kopech has to do is have maybe 4-5 good/great/dominant starts in a row that shows some command of his pitches. I think he can do that . He had a crappy month as well last year and then rebounded very nicely. On the other hand I have been one of the few who think we will see Eloy up before Kopech but it's entirely possible they are brought up together.

Not only that but I don't think the Sox have won 3 in a row all season and then no Rodon or Anderson in the lineup. He must have been pissed when he saw that.

That guy placing the $5000 bet on the Sox must be pissed off right about now.

It was actually the first 4 figure bet, $5000. The Governor had placed the 1st legal bets, $20 each on the Devils to win the Stanley Cup and Germany to win the World Cup .

Sox get another shot at a 3 game win streak. Will it finally happen ?

Surprised I haven't seen any tweets about the last time in one game there was a 3-6 and 3-5 DP on ground balls. Jose made some strong accurate throws on those plays. The 3-5 was particularly impressive.

I've also consistently argued on here about framing stats maybe not as have you done showing the inconsistencies but more along the lines of it's not just a catcher thing. It involves a pitcher and an umpire but that could be where the inconsistencies come from . Year to year a catcher has different pitchers to catch and different umps behind him. We all know umps have different zones and pitchers can have reps that get them calls while other get the rookie treatment or because of lack of command just don't get the good calls on pitches others do get. Some pitches, like a curve bal,l the umps seem to do a worse job on calling them strikes especially ones at the bottom of the zone which is where a curve is really most effective.

Must be pretty rare to have a 1st baseman turn 2 DP's the way Jose did tonight.

8 straight games now without a run given up by the bullpen

Actually it's 8-5

Hard to belive we win much of anything with that OF but Tilson hasnt been terrible and the defense with those 3 is much better.

I went to one of the playoff games against the Angels . The clinching game if i recall. Anyway everybody have fun tonight . Everybody wang chung tnight.

I think we see close to 20 promotion/demotions with all the accompanying emotions .

If the bullpen can stay as hot as they have been maybe the Sox can finagle a decent prospect by packaging a few of them together. Unfortunately it's a long way to the trade deadline giving the BP plenty of time to be bad again. That's just the life of relievers , There are reasons the Sox have played very close to .500 ball over the last 29 games and it's mostly the bullpen while dumping Fulmer and the emergence of Covey.

Avi 1 for 2 with a walk with Charlotte Tuesday night batting 2nd . Taken out early since it was his 1st game .

Avi 1 for 2 with a walk with Charlotte Tuesday.

This was the 7th game in a row the bull pen has not given up a run. Remarkable !

Nice to see Davidson get a couple of doubles. He had been struggling since the back issues. Great pitching once again. Who are these guys ? Sweet start to the game with the back to back HR's by Moncada and Yolmer.

Finally beat the Indians at home. Good game .

One more to go.

Lincoln Henzman 7 IP, 1 hit, 0 R , 0 BB , 6 K Complete game shutout ,only 67 pitches

During the Boston series didn't Stone say on one of the telecasts that Cooper said Giolito had a really good side session this week ? I guess we will find out if it translates tonight against all those good lefties on the Tribe.

I think Delmonico is going back to Charlotte when he is healthy. Thompson gets jettisoned . Tilson back in Charlotte too, when I'm not sure . Haven't figured out when Avi, Leury and Delmonico all are due back

This is pretty fair. Might be a bit generous unless you can go back and find a game in which Avi pulled up lame to pinpoint exactly when he started feeling the effects of the hamstring before he was put on the DL. I look forward to him re establishing some value if he can stay injury free for the rest of the year . Just makes the line up much better. Palka can go to LF. We haven't him seen at 1st base either Rotate Palka between OF , 1B and DH . Rotate Davidson between DH, 1st base and 3rd base, Abreu between DH and 1st base. All 4 of Avi, Abreu, Davidson Palka get rest depending on match ups. Guess we might be seeing Tilson CF soon ?
