Dammit. This is the sort of inning that can get away from you.

Nice idea, but what the heck do the Sox have that would lead Arizona to give us their best player?

Sox have been fortunate so far. Sometimes when you waste a lot of opportunities early, it bites you in the ass late. Hopefully that happens here.

Hey, when you call yourself "manofsteal" online, you're sort of committed.

Nothing is more important than a game I go to. Nothing.

If it’s a no go, the Sox pen will really be ready for Detroit, which works for me cuz I flew into Chicago and will be at the game tomorrow night.

I was afraid Cleveland might be able to fix Quantrill. He struggled with the Pads.

I thought the same thing. Sadly, he doesn’t have the same levers, so God only knows whether his results will be in the same stratosphere.

Awesome analysis. Home runs are like triples in the NBA: rulemakers want there to be more than one way to win, but there isn’t. Look at Sox record when they homer and when they don’t. If you pitch to put the ball in play and hit to get singles, you will lose a lot of games.

I believe this means they are keeping both Burr and Burdi active for the DH. 15 man pitch staff ought to be able to handle 14 ip.

Lester Hayes was a HoF football person who made a lot of interceptions in part because, like many Raiders of his time, he practically coated his entire body in Stickem.

I’m not a fan of him as a player, but the guy seems like a really good dude. Happy for him that he gets another year in the majors thanks to a series of unfortunate events.

Huge shot for Yo. He’s the guy other teams are scared of. You see it day in and day out. Breathing room.

Marshall did his job. Would be nice to get a couple of runs.

It had been Kopech. Heuer’s sinker has been lit up this year. Don’t blame TLR. He’s looking for a RH bridge guy.

7 LOB in 5 innings. Proof XBH are your friend.

The Cubs are in first place. I understand the Ricketts suck, but if they trade Bryant at this point, their fans should burn down the Urinal.

Rough ab for Vaughn there

That was smoked too.

Looks like Sox need to score more runs. To be fair, both of those homers were marginal, but Keuchel, not impressive.

Fair enough. Hopefully, last year’s version emerges as the season goes on. Trouble with command guys is their margins are already low, they lose anything on the stuff, the drop off can be quick and dramatic.

Keuchel has a serious James Shields/slow descent into retirement vibe. Luckily, all he cost was money. Sox luck with veteran pitchers in the last ten years has not been great. So far, Lynn is an exception.

Ha ha. except Leury absolutely cannot bunt.

Ugh, that family has been through a lot. My condolences.
