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.

Diamondbacks awaiting word from Cincy on potential Chapman deal.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) I am sure the Sox scored 9-10 runs because of Sanchez and Flowers batting 8-9 in that order. Sanchez had 3 hits. You put Flowers in that 8 hole, a few of those runs go away.

Why would the Red Sox put so many lefties in a lineup against Chris f***ing Sale? Are they that righty-deprived?

Rain seems to be coming down pretty well now. Let's hurry up, Chris. 2 outs to go

Rain, please, give us 3 more outs!

Melky's about to fall to .500 over the winning streak. Now 18-35 on the road trip.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) To hopefully have someone on for the top of the order. Sanchez hit 8th (with Flowers 9th) last night and we scored 9 or 10 runs. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) Gotta start hitting Wright. He's got a 4.8 ERA for a reason. And a 5.45 fip... yikes

Still don't know why the f*** Sanchez, who has like a 11 or 12 game hitting streak, is batting behind Tyler Flowers

Hope this rain calms down for at least an inning

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) That's his fork hand. Not good.

Is that 7 K's thru 4 for Sale?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) Yeah, you're definitely wrong about this. Watch yesterday's highlights...

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) why because of something that might happen one out of 120 games? Nah. It's time to get the best hitters into the game. Well when it does happen- and it's more often than that- do you want Sale batting?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) You can say a lot of negative about Avi, but you can't say he doesn't hustle. I can say with certainty that he doesn't hustle as hard as he can/should on gappers or balls hit down the line.

Come on rain, hold off a little longer! Don't waste this Sale start

How the hell does David Ortiz get an infield single??!

Shuck has been very, very solid this year. He's our only corner outfielder who hustles, and he hits well.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:03 PM) flowers come on man soto should be dhing tonight... I feel like we've been over why Soto can't DH many times.

While I appreciate that he's making changes, I feel like Adam LaRoche's old stance/approach better suit him.

Shuck with the Melky impersonation
