Dick Allen

Because with the infield in, if it wasn't, he would have waited for the ball to go through.

I've never been a big fan of the contact play with nobody out.

Some day, some year, if you keep this up, you are bound to be correct.

I think some are gassed more than that.

I don't get leaving a guy in after he had thrown so many pitches in 95 degree heat with a lefty ready, not that Fry was guaranteed to get him out.

So is Deroits, and until the 9th inning yesterday, the Sox couldn't touch them.

At least it doesn't appear to be an Achilles.

The All Star break is a good time fot an IL stint.

Lefties have to be lucky against that guy, but he will walk you if you let him. Goodwin didn’t let him.

So should Leury.

Goodwin should have tried to walk.

It will be a problem for every team. Hopefully they can avoid serious injury.

No sticky stuff and probably the time some pitchers will tire due to last year's shortened season is not a good combo.

No because TA would still be with the team next year. Story would be huge. He is off to a slow start for him, so history suggests he could have a huge second half.

He hit the ball 111.5 mph.

Tony should get a little hotter. It isn't going to hurt, and may get the Sox a call or 2 down the road. Obviously we don't know what he is saying from the dugout, but he rarely makes an appearance on the field, even though there has been several times it had been, as has getting ejected, been warranted. Katz got thrown out saying it was not up. This isn't Little League. Tony used to throw bases. Granted, at his advanced age, he may throw out his back if he tried, but his team has been screwed by bad balls and strikes calls more than most. Get tossed, see if it helps.

Matt Foster should be a Charlotte Knight.

Why do they check the pitchers after the inning? Shouldn't they do it before the inning?

Yes. See Abreu, Jose.

That was a really good job by Sheets.

Interesting we have one thread that is trying to say the OF situation is so terrific, Adam Eaton should soon be DFA’d. Yet there are posts in this thread calling for the Sox to trade for a RF. Sheets is a lot better than I thought, but obviously not as good as he has played, so I would be careful trying to figure out when he will be giving a speech in Cooperstown. That said, ride the hot hand. Hopefully, Eaton is and can remain healthy. Hopefully, Eloy, Robert, and Engel can all come back and remain healthy, and there will be no reason to address the OF. I think ultimately, they get Escobar for very little other than a contract dump. We will have to see what other injuries occur, but with a 6 game lead there is no reason to rush. This team has shown it can withstand missing players, slumping players....It would really be nice to see them at full strength.

Look on line at the standings. They have plenty of leverage.

Time to add Escobar.

Greg Walker going away. Bad hitters were his fault. Good hitters, nothing to do with him

Probably a blessing he bobbled. He throws through, the guy is most likely safe, and the runner takes 2nd.
