Thompson takes over in LF.  I think that leaves only Omar on the bench.

Why retire him now ?

Lopez is out after 100 pitches and 7 1/3 innings.  The IP total is the highest of his career.  He goes off of the field to a nice standing ovation from the crowd.

That was a nasty breaking ball on strike 3 by Fry.

Very encouraging start for him. Good day for the rebuild 

So Palka and Fry are the new Delmonico and Bummer

Fry with another nice strikeout.  He is looking excellent this time around.

Rondon fighting off that 0-2 fastball and then keeping his hands back to pull that double was impressive.  

Needed that ?

That was a laser the other way from Castillo.

Palka gets the unpitched IBB.

As much as I'm dissapointed about Gio I'm excited about Lopez.  Nice to see that shiny 3/1 K/BB ratio from him today.

I'm hoping its Nate coming in.

Nate jones on for the 8th.

Don’t blow this, Nate.

Do any of you agree with greg that he has a funky delivery. Looks painful to me. Let's win one, Sox. Palko is my new idol.

It literally does not matter who Ricky runs out there right now.

Pitch selection is puzzling.  No way was Diaz gonna do anything with the slider

No, nobody has ever noticed or commented that he throws like a fast pitch softball infielder.

Wow this bullpen is horrendous

This team is something, and it ain’t good.

So much for getting anything for these bullpen bums.. 

Ouch

 

We are not good
