The real pain is watching this rotation when Lucas & Lopez aren’t pitching.

This too.  I don't even get satisfaction when we get good Nova, I don't even care.

At least Gio has turned it around in a big way. If we were getting more 2018 Lucas things would be very grim.

That's such a poor MLB lineup. I truly don't know how we had a decent first six weeks. My gosh this team has a pathetic make-up.

The only bad hitters in that lineup are Alonso and Sanchez.  The rest are pretty good.

Um, aside from Alonso and maybe Yolmer (who should be a platoon tbh), the lineup isn't that bad. Leury has been solid all year, Moncada is in a slump right now but we saw what he can do in April, Abreu, McCann still one of the best offensive catchers in the league, Eloy is still adjusting, we know who Anderson is now, Tilson is hot.

Houston just is a really good team, and they are showing us how far the Sox have to go to get to that elite level. "Pathetic" is overkill. I would say work-in progress but still major league worthy...I like Yonder but he has zero place on this team right now. Cut the losses.

Houston hasn't knocked us out of the park.  Pitching and defense wins games.  Just really been out pitched.

If Nova has it tonight and the Sox somehow pull this one out of the hat, they have a decent chance at splitting this series with Gio on the bump tomorrow.

I agree with you but didn't feel like getting jumped on by half the board.  We lost the 2 games I expected to lose because our pitching situation looked kind of bleak.

Haha I feel you brotha

Nova vs Cole

Besides Covey vs Verlander, has there been a bigger pitching mismatch on paper in the MLB all year?

Why is Anderson hitting 7th? Can anyone explain the theory behind one of your best hitters with speed not hitting either 1, 2, or 3?

Where's the PTC for todays game ? I'll go with Moncada right before the game starts.

What on earth will it take for players to stop sliding head first? A lobotomy?

I wish some reporter would ask him his logic behind his lineups. Is this like a taboo question?

If there was a stat for swinging at pitches the farthest out of the zone.. our team owns that one.

 

Which partially coincides with why we are perhaps the worst team in baseball the last few years.

Fundamentally McCann is really good behind the plate

Alonso crushed that one

Another soft grounder into the shift. Can someone please get a fucking clue he does not belong on a major league team anymore?!?!?! 

ELOY!!!
