The Sox this inning 

rare moment of exceeding expectations.

I can’t wait for the day Shields is gone and hopefully that’s sooner rather than later.

Great AB, thanks ump also

Nice at-bat Moncada.

absolutely awful swing on that curveball.

and an awful fucking strikeout.

We getting no hit tonight?

We got a hit

Might as well go crazy with the gifs, it the only thing entertaining right now 

Well, in all fairness, fans were right to expect SOMETHING out of Hawkins, Fulmer, Collins, even Shields, etc.

And we will certainly see Fulmer enough times this year as a starter, whether we like it or not.  Hey, maybe he’s the next Dallas Keuchel, haha?  Or not...

verlander doesn't even have his good stuff tonight, I mean even an aged JV is a great pitcher but he was topping out at 95 and his command has not been pinpoint, to say the least.

This is legit horrible baseball. So many dumb plays.  

This team has some issues

 

Ventura-esque fundamentals...did that 2012 season even happen?

Seems more like a decade ago.

Eh, that wasn't horrible. At least not.on Anderson's part. Verlander just caught him stealing 3rd. Wasnt the 1st or 3rd out of the inning. Omar maybe was the one who didn't play that smart running to 2nd. Unless it was a double steal.

Can't get caught stealing 3rd when down 5-0

I don't mind it.  at least TA got on.

With Engel at the plate? Not like he's driving anybody in anytime soon. Would rather have Tim steal 3rd and get home on a ground out or sac fly, which would have been had Verlander not turned during his motion.

When Fulmer / Migo / Shields are on the mound, all I do is hope our younger / core position players produce. I have such little expectations for this team.  Just let our young talent grow and hopefully we see some star potential materialize as the season goes on (as well as seeing signs from Lopez / Giolito that we can count on them as being building blocks in the staff);  If they don't pan out, we literally have an entire rotation we need to build.

lmao who else heard that woman cry "we want a pitcher not a belly itcher", oh man.

Is there really no stop gap at cf for the Sox within the organization for this year.  I'd take leury in cf over engel.

111 pitches after going in relief 2 days ago.  That seems extreme
