Seriously, what did Cesar do to get dropped from the 2 spot? If anything he's actually been one of the guys that's been hitting the ball.

At least his absence has Sox fans realizing just how valuable he is. Don't believe in framing? Collins has you believing in it now! Don't think his walks have value? We score a run less when he's out of the lineup. Part of that might be our replacements being below replacement level quality though.

I know our chances of winning the division is like 99%, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like it when you watch this team play.

I feel like this game turned on Engel and Abreu being way too aggressive at the plate. Engel could have had a bases loaded walk in the 4th and swung at a low sinker on 3-1 instead. Keep in mind Lynch had just walked a guy and hit another right before this. Abreu wasted a 2-0 count in the 8th and swung at 2 junk pitches to strike out right before Eloy's double. It feels like guys are just pressing.

Yoan's hit in the 6th was absolutely tragic. He's smoked the ball twice off Staumont recently. Both went right to the first baseman.

Fucking anemic

Say whatever about Engel and the defense, but scoring 2 runs off the Royals is just sad.

Fuck I thought that had a chance to at least be a double.

Brentz throws harder than Crochet.

Could really use a walk from Yoan.

Tag was too late, damn.

Looked like he got him.

Catch the fucking ball Seby!

Looks like they're gonna bring in Brentz to turn Moncada around.

We're getting beat today by the likes of Olivares and Nelson Cruz Jr. today.

Also swung at a pitcher's pitch. Sucks that the ump called that first one, that was close but not a strike.

It'd be a tie game.

Eloy!

My goodness guys, Barlow will throw sliders.

Jose could have walked lol

Need Barlow to hang a slider to Jose.

Now that I think about it, Barlow and Tepera are very similar pitchers.

Detroit is probably gonna overtake them this weekend.

Reminds me of 08 when we kept playing like shit against KC down the stretch.

Maybe getting our ass beat by the Cubs tomorrow will. If they don't turn this around by next week we're gonna be in for an ugly August.
