QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) If we had anybody besides Abreu who could elevate and hit a home run we'd be winning a rare blowout today. Guthrie throws meat. Flowers totally missed 2 fat pitches right down the pipe , one a FB ,one a curve that he foul tipped for the K.

Well the Sox got Q his one run, but I'm expecting more. Guthrie isn't fooling too many guys.

Damnit , big hits are so scarce for this team.

Hit one over the fence Tyler.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:25 AM) Since June 19 he's hitting about .240. Have you been happy with his production over the last month? .247 in the last 30 days . .308 in the last 7 days.

Samardzija ,Avisail Garcia ,and Adam LaRoche to the Astros for George Springer

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 06:04 AM) Maybe Sanchez goes down instead. Conor could be an extra throw -in to a trade in the coming weeks. Sanchez isn't going anywhere.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) Is Danks our Bruce Chen? Guess you liked that Cy Danks comment I made in the game thread and yes he is .

Paint it black Robo !

Avi overdue for a long one.

That's why I didn't want Saladino bunting . Was hoping he could get an extra base hit while Volquez was still in there.

Don't bunt Volquez is done.

Hard to believe Volquez is still out there. I thought he was losing his command last inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) Nicely done by Ventura. Robertson the 8th, and Montas the 9th? HA you're funny.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) Only at 90ish pitches, I think they give him another inning, then Montas Montas ? No way unless the Sox are up by 5.

Give Danks his due against his favorite patsies . Do KC fans call him Cy Danks ?

Rios looks different , thinner. Anybody else think so ?

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:16 PM) 41st time in 87 games played this year the Sox have scored three runs or less. That's 56.3% of their games. Incredible. Another fan asked "when will this team start hitting?" Given that over half a season is in the books the probable answer is "not this year." As Kenny would say, "it is what it is..." Actually it's 47.1264367816 % . 41 is not even half of 87 so it can't be over 50% unless you put in a wrong number in your post somewhere.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 08:01 AM) i can understand you point and you do make a good one. but i rather give Sale that little extra rest. ref bold 1. a month???? bold 2. Sale is saying the right things. he is not the boss. bold 3, it is this series. the future???? I don't know the exact times he's been allowed to rest or DL'ed for precautionary measures , but I'd say its been a month or close to it every year for the past 3 years. I agree he is not the boss. Yes the future . You want the Sox to get to the playoffs every year while Sale pitches don't you? So far it hasn't happened and the Catch 22 question will remain. How do the Sox make the playoffs while they also rest Sale risking critical games in a pennant race ? And if they do reach the playoffs how can Sale handle the load with only one 30 start season under his belt so far ?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) SO you're saying dont swipe and pose? Swiping is good , just throwing a glove down then acting like you got him isn't.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) 8-1 with a 2.73 I thought so . Thanks and you seem more down than I've ever seen you on the Sox.

Nice throw Soto . That's how u tag a guy not just throw your glove down but go after the runner.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:43 PM) No chance Danks gives up less than 6 runs. He's historically good though against the Royals isn't he ?

Good job la Rock . Look at 2 strikes then swing at the ball you have to know is coming.

Alexei needs an extra base hit to score LaRoche.
