Our starting pitcher has a better ERA than the Indians pitcher. Holmberg is left handed, and the Indians have struggled this season opposing southpaws. I hope José Abreu's injured knee / leg recovers from Friday nite so he can start this game. Go SOX!

Sounds like Abreu just has a bruise.

 

Wtf man, I thought his leg was broken the way they had to get him off the field.

Bone bruise in the knee is pretty painful. I got hit with a line drive in the knee when I was 16 and I had to be helped off the field as well.

Yeah, I get that...but it is being reported that he is feeling fine, that there is minimal swelling, and he isn't expected to miss multiple games.

 

Seems odd if it is truly a bad bone bruise.

It didn't look like straight on the bone to me, it looked like it hit the meat right where the shin and muscle meet. Which sounds incredibly painful

I'm not disputing that it looked like it hurt.

 

Was just confused in regards to the way he exited the field and the rosy outlook reported this morning.

Oh I'm not criticizing your account at all, I'm also surprised that he didn't get a small DL stint immeditately

Anytime there is point tenderness on the bone, they will treat it like a fracture and be extra careful. Most likely it's a "bone bruise" (even though those done really exist) but just to be safe someone probably told him this was the way they are going to treat it.

Abreu is in the lineup. Hanson is on the bench.

Omar has been more impressive than I thought getting on base and making contact....just not hard contact very frequently.

 

Davidson's OBP really sinking, ops now at 771, which still would be passable as a platoon bat against lefties, .889 ops vs. LHP (http://m.mlb.com/player/571602/matt-davidson?year=2017&stats=splits-r-hitting-mlb)

Man the Sox are really committed to this tank, I give them that. Running Holmberg out there again with so many innings already banked by the pen so far this week is a sign of true commitment to sucking.

Who scores ten runs first?

Three straight hits for an early lead

Nice to be doing this on a nationationally televised game

that's bulls***

 

I know it is a small accomplishment...but nice to see Davidson watch a slider outside for a ball.

Davidson occasionally will really turn on the ball.

That was stupid...killed the momentum there

personally i don't think his problem is as much pitch recognition as inability to catch up to fastballs.

What the hell is Frazier doing

Good one Todd, idiot.

personally i don't think his problem is as much pitch recognition as inability to catch up to fastballs.

Could be...

Gosh Yolmer crushed that ball

Can't wait for Todd to leave after this year.

I don't really blame Todd so much as Renteria trying to encourage this running culture which is failing miserably.
