Let’s strive mightily to win the game 

At this point, just want to see some good AB's from Moncada, and a 2B or HR from Abreu.

At this point, I'm pretty resigned to the losses. My only interest is in the emergence and development of individual players. I'd like to be able to realistically muse about a competitive team, in a couple of years. However, unless some of our core players can demonstrate that they are legitimate pieces of that future, it will be difficult to sustain much hope. So, I'll continue to check the guys, down on the farm, as well as watch for Anderson, Moncada, Yolmer, Matt, Palka and anyone else, who could establish himself as part of that core, for 2020 and beyond.

The biggest focus, for me, is my dream of a pitching staff filled with 5, or 6 young, affordable, top of the rotation arms. If that happens, I think the offense will be there, or can be obtained through trades or free agent acquisitions.

Hopefully this is Yoan making his adjustment and heating back up.  Nice double 

lead off double for Moncada

Lol mlb.com had b, Rondon for the sox 

Nice way to start the game by Moncada. 

And I will never understand batting Anderson 7th if the Sox are serious about his development. They need to bat him higher in the order where he can get more at bats and more at bats of consequence. 

Bad AB yolmer

What a pro Jose.

Abreu professional hitter

Kipnis . lol

Speaking of Alexei type plays, that a baseball stupid play.

How bout that strike zone.

2 of the worst called strikes... Wow

This team gets no respect. No respect at all.  Maybe one day Ricky will get off his fat ass and go to bat for his guys.  Get thrown out and send a message and tape to the league.

Was Yoan fly out well hit?

More things change with Rodon, the more they stay the same. 

N-omar with the whiff.

Our pitchers deserve better than having him back there, especially the young guys 

Incredible.

Omar is terrible

Foul ball but damn close.

It's amazing how many times I have about the same reaction as you in game.  Throw STRIKES.  That's always been his main bugaboo.  No fastball command.
