Sure would be nice to see Chris Sale get win #15 finally

We've played more games against +.500 teams than anyone in baseball. Series like these are where we would have needed to take advantage

so it's gonna be one of those Sale outings? strap it down boys

Sure would be nice to see them realize Carlos Sanchez isn't a starting caliber player...oh, well, better shot at the #10 pick at least.

 

Abreu still about 90 ops points below his career average...but at least providing some small glimmer of hope for 2017 with this run in the second half...as long as they limit the damage he can do to the offensive side.

Sox 2-0

Somehow have a feeling calling out Carlos Sanchez every game still won't result in Altuve-esque numbers. Worked tonight, though.

 

At least they're playing Coats instead of Shuck. Of course, the danger is he looks pretty good down the stretch and they go into next year with Garcia/Coats.

Melky is having a great year.

6-0 Sox

Melky is having a great year.

Last year was an extremely unlucky season and he was still adequate. I'm glad he's producing more now.

Is Saladino banged up or is Robin just giving Sanchez a couple in a row?

Getting some offense tonight and Sale is sailing along nicely

Hector Santiago was 6-0 with a 1.76 era last month with the Angels.

 

Now with the Twins, he's literally throwing batting practice to every opponent. Could never get around that inconsistency.

I have confidence that Robin and the pen could lose this game. Take him out after the 6th, then use Albers, Jones, and the other mental mdigets, then tie game and use the closer in a non closing situation - typical textbook Robin.

I just remembered-if I am correct- that Saladino and wife are having a baby today

Every bad team needs a James Shields.

Well, he's a lot cheaper than Shields or Nolasco at least.

 

Whether he's worth Alex Meyer too, we'll just have to wait and see.

That's right. We like to pay a high price for sucktitude.

 

Very nice game by our ace Chris Sale

I'd like to seem him finish.

 

Jones continues to give up Hr's and shutout is gone!

Jones comes into the 9th after a super game by sale. Jones promptly give up a homer and the shutout is over. Pop up for out one and then a single

Stats and eyesight don't always agree.

 

TA needs to wake the hell up just a stupid mistake.

Don't blow this game bullpen. Anderson can't keep his foot on the bag and two on. now a bloop single and it's 6-2 with two on
