Based on Stone's comments so far, he seems to be hinting that this is Lopez's final Sox start if it's a bad one *bob uecker voice* THANK GOD

Last night I said Detwiler should be warming up after Lopez's first pitch. I also said he'll go 8 tonight (I meant innings but then joked that I meant 8 pitches). At 8 pitches he has given up 2 hard hit singles, so Detwiler should be up already

I know many of you will be shocked but Reynaldo will not be throwing a no hitter tonight

Stone just went over 3 matchups to watch vs Berrios and then said "and we have some surprises on the bench- James McCann- who has TORCHED Berrios in his career, but he'll be waiting" He fucking hates Renteria

I went to HS with a kid who had amish relatives. One day he brought a strawberry rhubard pie to school. It was absolutely silly how good it was

Should've had Grandal DH and McCann at C. I have muuuch more confidence that Grandal will snap out of it before Encarnacion's sorry ass

Wait, McCann is hitting .333 lifetime vs Berrios with 4 homers and he isn't playing? Is that true?

This seems like one of those 8-5 losses, with the Sox being down 6-7 runs all game before making a late surge. I hate to say that, but I have no confidence in Lopez to pitch well & no confidence in Renteria to pull him when he should and then find a competent reliever

Stone has seen enough of Encarnacion and Mazara (and probably Lopez after what's-likely-to-be a disaster of a start today)

Followed by a good ol' Mazara soft ground out. LET'S GOOO

Huh, I guess I understood it wrong. Thanks.

Oh yeah? Wow here's a new thought. Haven't heard it before. Good thinking

I thought you have a 3 batter minimum only if you start an inning new. Because he pitched the prior inning, I thought he could be taken out after 1 batter here, or no?

Wait, why didn't Renteria keep Detwiler in with a LHH coming up?

The announcer is saying don't throw fastballs inside and they throw 2 in a row

^^^ ^^^

Exactly Detwiler should be warming up when the ump says "play ball"

The bullpen is being used a ton and that's probably why they've struggled, but don't fret. Lopez pitches tomorrow and I'm betting he goes at least 8

That pitch didn't make it to the plate

Why did Engel not run for Mazara? Why didn't Sanchez bunt?

Bunt

Relax

The Sox bullpen is going to start a streak of consecutive games of giving up a run, although if the SP's keep going less than 6 innings, it's bound to happen.

Slide and stop that ball you dope

I just said that in my post. The post he quoted and talked about Benetti was one where I said "if Pineda throws that same pitch to Eloy, Buxton will have no shot at it because he'll hit it 440 feet." Not sure what one has to do with the other
