Let's go Todd. You are a run producer. Time to produce.

 

we'll take it. He's still way out in front of everything though. Did a nice job finally staying back on that one.

That was a great AB

This is fun

That was a great AB

There's been a few of those this inning!

Nice hit by Anderson. He's got his K rate all the way down to league average now.

Nice piece of hitting!

This is great. Hopefully the bullpen can continue to dominate. I'm liking these young guys. Leury Garcia with the 2 rbi tonight, we'll take it. Also love the encouragement from Rick when the guys come back in the dugout after scoring. That little positive recognition goes a long way. You can tell he cares a lot about these guys doing things the right way.

The Sox have a lousy team and still easily could lose this game. The team still could lose 105-110 games. But I will say this. It's nice to have a real manager. I bet we wouldn't have had to go through this rebuild if we had Renteria instead of the clown prince of baseball managing us the last five years. Robin was a GREAT player, but our team was a.) lifeless. b.) fundamentally horrid. c.) ridiculously bad on the basepaths under him.

Again we got a guy thrown out on the basepaths tonight and Renteria is no Al Lopez obviously, but I betcha if Renteria had the Sox teams with Sale and Q and of the last few seasons instead of Robin we'd have won the division once or twice. Robin was that bad in terms of preparing the team in spring training.

Deliberate? Maybe payback for hitting Cain.

Obviously deliberate. The Royals don't take s***, especially from our Sox. With two out I'd hit Hosmer here.

Frazier's swing mechanics are just awful

Let's hope Leury Garcia and Davidson start getting rewarded with more playing time until they force the manager to take them out when they cool down.

 

There's just zero need to run Asche and May out there unless you're deliberately trying to lose. At this point, with the AL Central looking as bad as it does, it's going to be difficult to get to 90+ losses. Obviously KC SHOULD warm up offensively (eventually), we caught them at the perfect moment, but MN still has pitching issues and KC has concerns with nearly every part of their team except Herrera, Duffy, Kennedy, Cain, Perez and Moustakas.

This is one of those games where u wonder why players can't stroke balls in the gaps all the time rather than do what they usually do. Duffy's not a bad pitcher and it's gap heaven.

I'd rather see a pitcher bat than Asche or May. I despise Asche. Nobody could hate May, u just feel sorry for his ineptness.

Abreu showed some speed scoring from first.

I'm surprised Leury crashed into the wall there. He had a step or two to play with.

Looked like he got turned around and was backpedaling as the wind caught it

Good point, El Rockin.

he's def lighter and faster this year. Bat is slower so far though.

I feel like when we are ahead late we have an auto win

 

bullpen nails

9 more hits tonight and a couple more walks, and Duffy is a solid starter. Good job offense.

 

I am loving what I'm seeing from Leury, I've gone from a hater of his to a big fan. He looks to actually have MLB tools and its translating to production. He's playing a solid CF too.

I'm having fun watching this team. Usually I'm really grouchy but this year it's almost like house money.

I approve of Swarzak.

No need to slide into first. It's proven it takes longer for u to slide than run thru the bag.

He was hustling but Stone Pony agrees he didn't need to do that head first slide
