Trayce Thompson went 3/4 including a triple and a Hanley Ramirez aided double in the 7th inning that drove home the tying and go ahead run . Zach Duke and David Robertson pitched perfect 8th and 9th innings with 6 K's to secure the win.

Paint it black Robertson. 5 K's in a row between Duke and Robertson.

Nasty back door hook by Robertson.

5 runs 15 hits. 3 outs on bases hopefully doesn't come back to bite the Sox in the ass.

Very close on the replay. Hard to overturn Tag looked late but who knows what replays we don't get to see . Great throw by Bradley regardless.

Great job by Duke even if he did run a few counts full. Made the big pitches when he had to.

Thank you Trayce and Hanley . Big hit I've been looking for.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) That's why I wanted him. Always a good idea to pick up great young defenders who are struggling hitting. Same reason I wanted Juan Lagares and Jose Iglesias too. Speaking of guys I've wanted in the past. I wonder if the Nats would be willing to move Anthony Rendon after a down injury plagued year. Sure would love him playing 3rd base.

Can't get the big hit. 2 guys on just about every inning.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) You have seen this movie before, you know the answer. Turned out OK about as good as expected.

Jose struggling. Hope it doesn't turn into a big inning.

Kind of surprised Eaton didn't attempt to take Sandoval out on the slide.

Too bad Jackie Bradley Jr. has started hitting. I wanted him on the Sox when he was struggling.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 05:46 PM) Good thing Trayce is only playing twice a week. He definitely isn't better than Avi. Thing is Avi hits lefties pretty well . Need both their bats in the lineup against them. So far no idea how Trayce hits righties through no fault of his own.

Trayce has been aces against lefties . WOW .

Sox starters with the 2nd most innings pitched in MLB behind only the Mets.

Absolutely must pitch 6 eh Robin ?

Better call him safe.

Great job, now demoralize them with a crooked number.

That was dirty !

If the Sox can get out of this inning without allowing a run I think they win.

Red Beard's awakening !

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 08:54 AM) You trade Quintana because a)is value is determinable; b)it would be selling high for a change; c)the Sox have a lot of young arms. Trading for Frazier is the precise type of move the Sox should NOT make. He's not a good defender (despite the metrics), he's approaching 30, and he's having a career year. I should say "was" as he's been absolutely horrible since July. Plus you'd have him for only 2 more years. Sox don't need an all star. Get a good young 3B; and trading Quintana, you could get that and a couple of really good prospects (or maybe a catcher). I 'm against trading Q but if push came to shove I'd love to get Kang and Polanco from the Pirates.
