What is our advance scouting budget? Have a feeling Top Ten posters at Sox Talk could strategize spray charts better...

There it is.

can we just start over with the entire bullpen other than Hendriks, who also had more change his share of blips this year as well but won't be traded...

Should Bummer have fielded that?

And we still have to fill those holes and Heuer as well with Kopech to rotation and Kimbrel too expensive.

Otoh, could be the Jays on the outside looking in...

Why do I have a feeling we see Kimbrel in this inning...

Should put Hamilton in the game...Leury is going to do something uniquely Leuryish out there.

We must get the least out of one of the fastest overall teams in baseball on the basepaths...and then we have our share of 1B/DH/corner guys too.

Just can't seem to get that big hit to fall now...lots of well hit balls but nothing to show for it.

Four hits, six times on base so far...

Robert looks like he wants to beat Houston singlehandedly.

Sigh. Starting to look more and more glum.

Please just go away Hernandez...

Impossible to imagine defensive issues in the outfield the remainder of this game...guess we see Hamilton batting in a key situation late.

We thought Berman was so bad back in 2005...that was kind of fun to see the beloved BoSox go down at least.

Feels like we have to strike now...with at least 2-3 more.

Thankfully wrong on Maldonado...but what a defensive linchpin.

Sheets or Burger I guess...one of the Cubans.

This is where Maldonado sneaks up to bite the Sox...when you least expect it.

I wish all of the defenders/enablers would return from earlier in the year to admit it probably hasn't worked out as they had imagined. Since Renteria won one game and had to throw Keuchel and a full bullpen game to boot.

It was an issue the minute we signed Eaton...we just were fortunate not to really be tested in this division. But all your weaknesses are exposed in the offseason.

Feels like they will go to Tepera over Crochet and Kimbrel...

That glimmer of hope lasted all of 15-20 minutes.

He can join Royce Ring/Aaron Poreda in dumb reliever picks, along with Burdi.
