I'm so done with this. If he starts on the MLB roster in 2019 I seriously won't attend a single game 

I guarantee he's not the starter heading into next season.  Better chance he's starting in CF for the Chicago Dogs.

Adam Engel: Rally killer. 

You know I am always trying to support all Sox players but it’s getting more difficult watching Engel hit 

Bad walk for Giolito, need to be able to throw it down the plate and let a bad hitter swing away with 3-2 count and no one on.  Even in a start where he has good fastball command, he still has 4 walks.

I would hate to see what you consider "the most difficult"

I want to agree with you but even for a "tanking" team, I would've liked to assume that he would have been long gone by now. So many guys who can take his role in center. Mainly Leury 

Giolito:  Mediocre stuff and Terrible Control 

Lopez: Electric stuff and  can't miss bats.  

So frustrating.

From day 1 of ST, they wanted Engel over Leury in CF.

Or even experiment with this tank of a season.  Why not send Yolmer out there to get some work? 

We really are trying to break Yoans wrist at second

Quality Start

Throwing over to second in general is such a high risk play. I don't get why we do it so much 

nice job by Lucas.....don't even think about letting him start the 7th

I LOVE the pick off moves with the pitcher, as it's been very effective.  Hate it from our catchers that have mediocre arms.

Quality start. I still think we take that every time with him this year. Four walks, but two were Trout. Had a rough inning but ultimately another net positive. 

Lucas survived, but once again it almost feels like I'm watching his starts while holding my breathe under water.

Eloy - LF                             Avisail - RF

I feel like he’s getting more comfortable to watch. Not walking the world anymore, getting more strikeouts and lasting deeper into games. He is showing quite a bit of progress from where he was at. 

dear god Benetti, drop the stone puns

welcome to 2nd half Yoan!!

his appearances of late have been 1000 times more enjoyable than early in the year.  He's at least close to the zone with fastballs he misses on.  Earlier in the year, he was missing by feet and not inches and then looking like he wanted to fight the mound.

If compared to his horrendous April and May, then yeah no doubt.   But  it's still not a comfortable watch for me.   

I’d like to see a little action on the base paths here. Maybe a steal or hit and run.

Well, yeah, that’s what I’m comparing it to
