All-Star announcements tonight too.

Renteria made a curious move yesterday when he yanked Holland with Napoli at the plate. Napoli was lost his first 2 ABs. Had no chance. Holland was at 106 pitches, but he was having no issue with this guy. Brings in Beck, and although it appeared a bit windblown, home run. Banister did the exact opposite with Hamels. Left him in for Davidson who fanned for the 3rd time, then yanked him. I know wins aren't so important now, but running the game should be. Ricky needs to improve on this.

There has been zero confidence in the non-Q starters for a while now, and I can't say that I blame him. Outside of Quintana this starting rotations is just awful. Maybe Rodon starts to change that, but even he is basically in spring training right now.

After today the Sox will be officially halfway through the season.

As a fan, it feels like the it's going to be a really long second half, at least until some of the youth shows up.

Absolutely huge start for us here with Q. Hopefully he throws a perfect game masterpiece.

Q dealing early.

what a "twins" hit by Gomez...still a lapse by Q he should've gotten it and tried to shuttle at least

Easy play for Frazier to come get and then tag Gomez

pinpoint.

that's not a f***ing balk, no way he was over halfway with the plant.

Good defense all around on that play

Q picks up his 1B and ump...that was not a balk.

Easy play for Frazier to come get and then tag Gomez

agreed.

I want Adam Engel to be my CF and I don't care what he hits.

Great play by Yolmer. Frazier embarrassing himself at first

Even when the pitchers do fairly well they run up high pitched counts and are out in five innings max. Ruining the bullpen

jesus christ todd how many outs are you going to give them today?

That looked out on the replay, why no challenge?

Frazier dropped it

Is there anything worse than a guest in the booth during a longish inning? I'm going with no.

man yolmer has a quick release.

Frazier dropped it

Ah you're right I missed that.

Nice challenge by Texas.

3 defensive blunders already. Between yesterday and today, the defense has made far too many mistakes.
