What’s going to happen today? 60th win or 90th loss? It’s all quite exciting.

Let’s strive mightily to win this game 

 

Good idea on the rest day for Anderson methinks. No probs there.

WTF has happened to Gio over the last 3 starts? It is like all of the progress he's made has vanished into thin air.

Yup, that is almost as depresssing as Kopech going under TJS. IT seems Gio is back to being useless after looking like a stud.

I don't know if you guys are watching the game or not but there's been some bad fielding and some lucky hits falling in. He doesn't look bad.

Im paying attn on gameday while watching football so thanks. I checked Twitter and saw that the Orioles got 6 outs that inning so despite the earned runs it makes feel better about him. 

I am depressed 

Boys this game is ovah 

we get runners at the corners with no out and then fan three times. Gio gives up a homer and the Birds lead 6-1. Cy Hess must be really good

Notice how Renteria keeps Giolito in the game so he can ensure that the team loses and boost the Sox's draft position?

For all of you Palka nay sayers, this guy is having a terrific rookie season. I understand that his OBP isn't as high, as we'd like. Nevertheless, 24 homers in just over 2/3 of a season, from a left handed bat, pretty much qualifies as a "keeper". Anyone have any suggestions for a better left handed power hitter, until some of the prospects arrive?

Maybe this game isn’t a done deal yet. Palka with his second homer of the game and Sanchez with a two run homer 6-4 now

Right down the middle and swings and misses for strike 3

 

The 1st Palka HR was  111.8 MPH with a 40 degree launch angle .

OK Jose a HR will give the Sox the lead. Do it.

spelling

Scott only threw 1 strike to Jose and he strikes out swinging on 5 pitches

Think we’ll win this late on , who is in the bull pen ?

Giolito 4 seamer topping out at 92 now. Anyone know what it was to start the game ?

Tremendous credit to this org for taking a flyer on Palkman. Never got a shot with MN. 

Ganeday  watching . Don't see any change ups being thrown. Mostly 2 and 4 seamers and sliders with an occasional curve.

Some hard hit balls that inning against a pitcher getting his slider and sinker up  but result is 3 up 3 down.
