QUOTE (chw42 @ May 11, 2016 -> 12:11 AM) I thought teams don't get challenges after the 7th... Umpires must have thought it was close enough to review. you can request a review and 90% of the time they will review it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:57 PM) Are you sure you pay attention to the Sox ? Check the bullpen usage in the last 2 box scores , especially last nights extra inning game eh, not saying it was the right move but the bullpen isn't so taxed that you have to go to the long man in the 7th with two outs. That said, they have a four run lead and Scott got the out, so good job I guess.

wow, makes it look easy. Ok then Scott, RV.

really, albers isn't available?

f*** sorry jinxed it.

he's cruising now, hopefully he comes out of this with some confidence.

Beltre is a joy.

Rodon is def built like a middle linebacker.

all things considered not an awful start under the circumstances.

good pitch there at 0-2. 96mph up.

good throw gets him.

Not sure what's gotten into Carlos but suddenly he looks like electric Rodon again.

Rodon has found his velocity all of a sudden.

uh, why didn't they challenge? it's almost the 8th inning anyways.

Now that is what a good fastball and command does for Rodon.

wow 97

team is getting breaks and making their own breaks.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:40 AM) Can we get Bryce Harper to yell f*** you at Laz Diaz too? ha, I saw that from earlier.

So, Tony, you are cool with them?

Downers: Jimmy Rollins and Jerry Sands.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:20 AM) Already won 3-4 games due to his bat right now the Sox are getting a very ideal mix of high ISO mixed with high walk rate (isoD) hitters. They are also mixing in their fair share of XBH. Yea they have some holes in the order, but they also have some guys taking walks and some guys hitting the ball hard more often than not. Melky, Lawrie and Avi have all had great starts. We are seeing a fair share of walks, base hits, and dingers. Also, the baserunning has been much improved overall. Some of it has to do with getting more athletic guys in the lineup.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:18 AM) I'm starting to sound like a broken record but Frazier is not a three true outcome guy, he doesn't strike out that much. He has a low average because he's hit so many pop ups, not because of strikeouts. in spirit, if not letter

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:14 AM) Todd Frazier is on pace for 49 HR and 133 RBI. And like 4 fWAR. It would be a very "three true outcome + defense" 4 WAR year. Joe Crede style really.

Latest inning GS since Sept 30th 1916 from Happy Felsch for the Sox.

Don't look now, but the Sox now have given up the least runs in the AL and scored the 3rd most. This is a good team folks.
