Why do so many of our hitters persist in swinging on pitches outside the strike zone?

Lopez is doing much better than our other starters thus far this month. Hope he can keep it up for the rest of the season.

Ryan Cordell struck out on Ball 4, He is pathetic.

Ever since he got back, Castillo, at least as a hitter, seems to be no more than a shadow of his former self.

For the first time ever, Ryan Cordell had an MLB quality at-bat. Too bad he could not get on base.

Out of the fire and into the Jace Frying pan.

On Gameday, it says "official scorer ruling pending" and yet the game is getting played with the next hitter.

He was a drug fiend, not great at all.

Why would you intentionally walk someone who's only hitting .223?

Juan Minaya's proving his worth to the other team.

That's because you don't have the facts to back you up.

That's nonsense. Trout has never hit .400 nor has he ever hit 61 HRs in 154 games or anything close to those numbers.

Why are our starting pitchers having so much trouble all of a sudden?

Why is that so many of these hitters when they have 3 balls and an excellent chance to walk, instead let the pitcher off the hook by insisting on hitting it into play?

Wow, Engel finally had a quality at-bat.

What do those abbreviations stand for? Sabermetrics make my eyes glaze over.

Well, it's better to get one run in than wind up with none.

Why is hardly anyone following this game here on Soxtalk?

It's better that this issue can be addressed now when the season is winding down rather than waiting until next year when we're in serious contention for the division.

Just wondering, but how does this reputation thingy work? How can you raise on's reputation if you see what you think is a great post?

In God we trust, with Cooper we bust.

Kopech is looking like a bust right ow.

This Cordell guy does not have any plate discipline.

Kopech's still in.

Yes, but the guy called Thor is on his way out while Kopech is still fresh and could be a starting pitcher for over a decade.
