Who pitches the bottom of the 8th? Kopech or Ruiz?

Finally!

Just a normal ground ball to SS and they take the lead. Sigh. 26 runners left on base.

24-3 advantage or disadvantage of total runners left on base so far. My God. That might be an MLB record for disparity if they can't somehow pull it out.

The curse of the big Sox FA contract for position players. Dunn's first year, Grandal's third. Melky Cabrera really was worthless his first year, too.

Torres should have set his feet instead of hurrying the throw. Great stop though.

What a shock...seemd like everyone on the team has to miss time or starts this year. When they return they can't hit like Pollock Vaughn and Moncada. Robert took some time to get his stroke back. Almost a great play by Torres but Rizzo couldn't make the scoop.

But can we score off Loiasaga? No Green anymore but they also have Clay Holmes back there.

Can clearly see the potential for a great playoff rotation if we can ever get the offense untracked. You would think beating up on the Tigers in the coming months might get them out of it.

Classic Jose Quintana support lines. Sousa warning up over Bummer...

Can't blame him for not going to Bummer. Florian just came up due to Covid IL from Scranton.

There's trouble here, Sheree.

Why is Sheets still in the OF at this point in the game?

How many at bats with RISP tonight?

Struggles with RISP continue.

Brantly used to be on our roster for the briefest of times.

Getting through the first couple of innings unscathed was/is huge for both guys.

Alex Verdugo's with Benetti the best of the season so far.

That was a quick evaporation of that scoring opportunity.

Detroit KC Detroit when both teams are scuffling mightily...then they get to test themselves against the hated Yankees.

Had to have that one. Let's hope this weekend turns out to be the spark that gets this team up and out of their stupor. Going to need Kopech to pitch deep with the bullpen situation. Hendriks surely will want to get out there again, though. Kelly not exactly a favorite yet but he's starting to redeem himself, too.

All national baseball attention falls to tonight's game...Kopech Anderson and maybe Donaldson. Boone might end up sitting Donaldson or tackling the issue head on...we shall see.

Bottom three of the lineup for the Yankees coming up. Hendriks comments leading the headlines in national sports news simultaneously.

Not throwing 101-103 now helps. Chapman hurt?

And Vaughn got him to RCF last year.
