Kimbrel having trouble finding the zone.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) Lawrie is bound to either K or walk vs. Kimbrel. No way he catches up to the heat Kimbrel throws. Especially if it's on the inside portion of the plate. Good call.

Well this sucks... Thought they were going to get the win going into the bottom of the 5th. Oh well.

Todd Frazier is brutal.

Another blown lead. Bases loaded, no one out & they couldn't get a run. They deserve it.

Bases loaded no one out & get no runs? Jones & Robertson better be nails.

Anderson is done for the day when he gets 2 strikes.

One. More. Out.

At this point, just don't give up the lead. Tie? Ok but don't give up more than another run.

4 pitch walk... This can't end well, can it?

Chris Beck time...

Am I the only one who wants to see a double steal with these guys on base?

Bad thing is that if the Sox take 3 of 4 from Boston, they would still lose a half game as a whole on the Indians & be 6 back. lol

For anyone who had any sort of optimism with this team... You see why you shouldn't.

At this point, just have to hope Shields can get through 1 more inning w/o giving up any runs & turn it over to the pen. So far, it hasn't been the best but a nice bounce back & should build some confidence.

Has Abreu swung at 1 strike yet?

Avi is so damn useless.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) What do you do if you're Ventura IF Shields gets shelled in the 1st again? Do you go get him before it gets out of hand, or do you throw away the game, and save the Pen? Personally, I'm leaving him in there to get it figured out. If you're going to lose, might as well try to get some innings out of him.

"Flip a coin" Hawk just said about this umpire & his called strikes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 05:22 PM) He's living off the high fastball so far It's hilarious to watch these hitters look at good first pitch strikes & swing at pitches way out of the zone. Happens each game, usually for all 9 inning. Approach is so bad.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 05:18 PM) They should be able to knock this pitcher out soon. He's throwing nothing but straight fastballs. Somehow they all seem to be going up there looking at first pitch strikes...

Good news is they are facing a bad pitcher. Time to get some runs.

4-2. Get Quintana some early runs & he's just not sharp.

Another hit & it's 3-1 w/ runners on the corners & no one out.

Tie game. Still no one out.
