After the first two walks they should have taken him out for sure

Oh my god

Just throw it right down the middle to this guy

This Foscue guy is like impossible to get out

Good. Nice quick inning.

Let’s get one more back Sam

Is that Tristan Peters or Ken Griffey Jr?

Sox just need to go out there and score 3 more

UHHH

Come on man

I love getting runs back

I think Sam is feeling better

Not Kay's best

Good thing Nimmo swings at garbage

He seems to have one of these innings a game

Ok, get him through this one and get the bullpen in

Right down the middle Colson

Would be nice for Braden to elevate more

Walks kill ya

I like when we score 4 in the first vs. when they score 4 in the first.

Cleveland is the main concern because of their easy schedule and good pitching. I think they have a good shot to take the division lead, unless the Sox do more than tread water and start stringing wins together. Going to be tough to do that with their pitching though. Hopefully they can pickup a fresh-ish arm from the waiver wire and Thorpe can come up and give a couple good starts to allow them to string some wins together.

Colson I dunno. He looks completely lost. I think the others should rebound though. They also need to figure out what to do with bases loaded. That's been embarrassing lately. It'll probably correct itself though.

Detroit also collapsed in September and went 7–17. If we go 7-17 in September then yeah we're gonna lose the division.

But that's not what they were going for. They weren't looking for rentals and I don't blame them because rentals are a crap shoot - the one they did go for out of dire need broke his hand after 3 games. It also was going to be REALLY hard to get 2 or 3 starters of any note at the deadline, plus a better outfielder, plus a catcher, without completely draining the minors. Foster Griffin is probably the guy they missed out on the hardest.
