I disagree with their plan, but it's not my call.

Sox indicated that they will not be trading prospects so they are not getting much of anything before the trade deadline anyway.

Dominated and it does not feel good.

I know ☹️

7 games against Yankees and Rays. Lost 1 so far. If we get swept 7 or lose 6 of 7, that will take the starch out of our underwear. Sox starting pitching has been exposed.

and he is like 10 years older.

He isn't any better than Quero.

Minimally, catcher Luis Torrens from the Mets. Maybe Reid Detmers from the Angels. I just don't expect too much. Never forget...JR is a cheap fella. Me. I would go big. Caleb Bonemer and cash for Colorado catcher Hunter Goodman

IMO, it would make sense to use Schultz in the bullpen for the time being. If he could provide one or two scoreless innings in a relief role, that would be huge. Conversely, two scoreless inning to start a game followed by an implosion in the 3rd or 4th, is not valuable to the team. Also, maybe as a reliever, Schultz would let it all hang out, especially with his fastball.

Luck first career HR by a no-name Yankee, Mindless send by our third base coach, the usual walks by Noah who reached his sorry 3.5 inning limit, Pereira swinging at air - looked like he should not have been promoted, Quero asleep at the wheel and just bad all around, ...anyway, the game should have been much closer but you have to play to win games, not just avoid losing. Try to win two games or maybe at least one against the depleted Yankee team.

Weather diminished Sox attendance but somehow some azzhole Yankee/Cub fans made it out there.

Should have put Ant in here.

Frustrating game. Get the lead and pizz it away. It is looking all too familiar.

Junior Perez hits a home run and then this guy comes up. WTTF.

Work so hard to get that lead and Noah pissing it away with walks.

yea, damn it.

Come on Noah. Bare down.

Did not need that dp

pitch count is up. Take some.

Noah gettin some help.

Not too many fans will bother heading out to the park if this weather keeps up. Why pay to get soaked?

OK, Venable starting a few extra RH hitters, but hate not starting Antonacci.

Pereira in CF. R Grichuk (R) LF M Murakami (L) 1B M Vargas (R) 3B C Montgomery (L) DH C Meidroth (R) 2B B Montgomery (S) RF E Pereira (R) CF E Quero (S) C L Acuña (R) SS

Weather forecasts are all over the place.

Venable, like other Managers, adheres pretty strictly to Righty/Lefty - Lefty/Righty splits in making a line-up, That's fine, but IMO, every decision in formulating a starting line-up should not always be grounded on split stats mainly because starting pitchers seldom last past 5 innings any more. Also some hitters , like Antonacci who has bad splits, just seems to get dialed in when the game is on the line. I would never pinch hit for Antonacci. Let him grind at the plate, maybe get a hit, a walk, or HBP.
