Jose Abreu

This will hurt his Cy Young case

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) We did face a knuckleballer. That'll throw your rhythm off as a hitter I'm sure. And we had no batting practice

This takes me back to April. Hard to watch

JFC. Bring the infield in. Bases loaded zero outs...

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:50 PM) Relax guys it's only the sixth. Our offense hasn't shown any signs of scoring more runs, though

Sale was probably banking on 8+ runs of support tonight, and I don't blame him

That's great...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:46 PM) SOB, they're literally right where we are. I have no idea when or how that happened. They're on a nice stretch. Tomas has helped a lot. Still wish we signed him; he and Abreu would be quite the duo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:43 PM) Huh? the DBacks are buying? I know I was busy today but when did that happen? Pretty sure they're the second hottest team in baseball. Buying seems dumb though. They're not even top-three in their own division (SD about to pass them). As a D'Backs fan, I'm confused by wanting Chapman.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:43 PM) I think Fathom originally mentioned post ASB. I don't know why this is debatable. He did originally mention post-ASB, but I asked him if he was watching today's game, because he seemed, at that point, to be sharper today.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:54 AM) I like our chances in this one. Sale will only need 2 or 3, max. QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:18 AM) i hope i don't break the streak. i am going my first Sox game of the year tonight. its my first trip to oston ever. Figured may as well see the Sox as my first game at Fenway QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) This game feels like as close to a guaranteed win as you can get in baseball, we can't afford to blow this. I'm gonna blame these guys if we lose.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Hawkins pulled in AA Injured or traded? Remember Micah was pulled yesterday and everyone jumped to conclusions.

Again, LaRoche's old approach was much smoother-looking

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) It is now 18 innings, 26 hits, and 20 K's. I think not very sharp is fairly accurate. Nice of you to comment after he allows two runs that inning. I was referring to this game, because up to the point in which I commented, he was looking rather sharp.

When's the last time we trailed in a game? Game 1 of this series? Or were we always tied

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) most certainly not over. their bullpen is gassed too. I was expecting more overreaction posts. But yes, let's see if we can hit off Wright

Still won 7 of 8, still 3 of 4 this series. Buying is the way to go

Rain all you want now

God damnit.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 12s12 seconds ago Pablo Sandoval left the game with a left-forearm contusion.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) Last 3 innings, yes. Command is off a bit. Ok, because IMO, he's looked sharp, Boston has just been hitting very well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Sale hasn't been very sharp since the ASB. Have you been watching the game?

Red Sox fan to Hanley: "Don't get up. Take your time. Take your time."

Rain coming down, come on, just get one out!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) Was Sale trying to hit Bradley there? That was 2 in a row that seemed like they were about to. No. All of his sliders today have had nasty break and started out nearly behind lefties.
