Shane Greene

Greene doesn’t have the track record though 

Well they won't get swept. Nice game all around except for Vieria. 

I'm sure teams will be after Kimbrel after the draft. Hell he may not sign until the deadline. 

Would have been nice to not have had to use Colome but a great win!!!

No but he has more control and often the reliever market his about control and getting the hottest hand. 

Also greene was great in 17

Colome is such a stud. Easily the top closer on the trade market this July if the Sox make him available.

Decisions on Colome & Abreu will be important.  If we sell I want major league ready people who are blocked and therefore expendable.  The future is now.  Give the kids a chance to taste the majors and play together.  Your seeing guys like Jimenez, Gio & Tyson grow up right before us.

Win tomorrow and the Sox split the series. I don't know about you guys, but I'd be more than happy with that.

I’d be happy with a split going into Houston even if the Sox were a top tier team

McCann had a big hit tonight. I hope he's in the starting lineup tomorrow instead of Castillo.

I'd be happy if Giolito pitches well even if the Sox somehow lose. He's much more important in the long run. Would love to see him shut them down.

With Giolito on the mound, I bet he will be.

Considering they are 18-5 at home after tonight’s loss, most teams would be happy to get one there.

I don't know why I was thinking this was a 3 game series.  Win or lose tomorrow I just want to see a QS from Gio and more production from our future guys. 

 

Nice win. Eloy baby. Tilson baby. Nova was bad but coulda been way worse. We win.

Cole should admit after the game how much harder it is to beat a tanking team than a team that actually tries to win.

Good to see Eloy display that power we've heard about.  Once he gets settled we are going to see some impressive things out of him.  Maybe it's just my eyes but I thought he looked much better in the field as well.

Nova gave up 3 runs in 7 innings, that is not bad

10 hits, 1 walk, and only 3 strikeouts in 7 innings.  Scary peripherals.  1.57 WHIP.  Lucky.

Pitched out of jams with his sinker which is good. But you're right, a bit of luck for sure.

We have seen Bad Nova.   Fortunately this was Adequate Nova.

it wasn't perfect but he gave them a chance and it was on the road against one of the best teams in the league

The fact that he has some awesome power to the opposite field is a great sign. He's so young and just needs time. The team isn't going anywhere; it can afford to wait.

Also greene was great in 17

He had a 3.84 FIP in 2017. Greene is nothing more than a bridge reliever on any decent team. 3.84 is worse than colome has put up in 5+ years.

Giolito is pitching so I imagine it'll be McCann

When assessing someone's performance in an individual game, the outcome is all that matters. He went deep into the game and made a QS against  historically good offense through this point.
