Warning to both sides... Ray's announcers calling it "bush league." Trade value of three relievers dying by the day... maybe can flip Kelly and Lynn to StL?

There it is.

Wrestling masks out. Sox are going to plunk someone out of frustration.

It was a mistake to not let the bullpen ever have a run of set responsibilities... Lopez was supposed to be the closer but used more like Joel Zumaya by the Tigers back in the day.

Well, almost... still tied for last with Royals.

Twins are absolutely salivating watching this. Dead team walking.

Lopez probably hurt his hand batting at the ball with his bare hand when the HP umpire put a new ball into play after the Raley homer lol.

Exact replay of last Lopez two run lead. Defensive miscues piling up. Open season declared on the basepaths. Raley another former Dodger prospect. Lopez velocity down quite a bit.

Lopez up to a 7.30 ERA. And the bullpen is officially destroyed even after the Kelly near perfect inning which almost never occurs.

Grandal giving back any trade value he was increasing... airmailed what looked like almost a pitch out.

Giving too many additional opportunities...

That was a tough play... Parents probably makes it 50% of the time. Not the greatest visibility either.

Another error.

Here it comes... leadoff walk.

Similar Sox pitcher to Santos in the past... great stuff/questionable command.

That helped... Burger in perfect position twice on the cut of the grass anticipating bunts.

Is that Miguel Cleto?

"Spare Parts" Raley had hardest hit ball and slowest pitch in the majors recorded on Thursday lol.

Vaughn or Burger...Benintendi mostly empty numbers.

Burger's bat would play on any team as a platoon DH.

Just going by his homer pace for this season... but probably ends up closer to 15-18.

Lynn is more deserving of a release but owed even more money... and nobody behind either besides Martin, who also has limited upside.

Vaughn isn't exactly Konerko or Abreu scooping the ball out of the dirt quite yet.

4.82 ERA out of the #5 spot in the rotation isn't the reason that the Sox are foundering on the shoals.
