87 pitches and he wasn't really having trouble. You at least give him a batter in the 7th.

Why did they take Lynn out?

Pollock finally manages to stay mostly healthy this year, but he's absolutely awful. Figures.

MLB changing the ball this year totally ruined the Sox's entire hitting approach. Just like how the sticky ban probably helped make Lynn, Giolito, and Keuchel way less effective.

Or maybe get him to pull the ball

Isn't it the umpire's job to clear the bat?

Sure looked that way

TA with 2 walks in 1 game is extremely rare.

It'll be up to Lopez and Kelly to close this game out if we're still up late. I don't feel real confident in that.

Liam even let slip that this team had no sense of urgency when addressing the clubhouse issues rumors. They clearly think they're way more talented than everyone else so they don't need to work or play hard.

Once the bases get loaded any sort of plate discipline just falls to the wayside. Not that this team had much plate discipline to begin with.

AV expanded his zone way too much

Making McGuire start against a lefty when you have 3 catchers is so TLR.

I feel like a team would eventually turn on AJ if he became a manager.

He did bring Pollock into this game cause he pinch hit Eloy for Engel. But yeah, you can't completely fault LaRussa for Sheets sucking ass. He really doesn't have a lot of other options to play RF with Robert on the IL. That's a Hahn problem.

It's less about Pilkington and more about how poorly Lynn has pitched.

He also did that weird slide step on one of his pitches. He clearly didn't have it today. You wonder if it's his UCL acting up again.

Liam doesn't look right today.

Sheets has been Cleveland's MVP this game.

Just plunk Naylor the next time he's up in a big spot.

How the fuck does Naylor get all these hits on weird ass pitches and swings.

Ballgame

Welp looks like we're gonna lose and waste our best relievers.

That just hooked foul. It looked fair for a while.

He looked off the base to me.
