Just left my daughters softball game. Checked the gamethread to see how many posts there were almost an hour into the game. Checked to see there were less than 2 pages, thought to myself Sox must be winning. Sure enough.. 

Can her team spare a starting pitcher until August?

Here is a special treat....

 

some more well coached/fundamental baseball

Can't really blame anyone there, just a nice play by HOU

Really? That ball looked caught to me off the bat... no need to be between 2nd and 3rd base on that ball.  If it gets over his head you are scoring anyway.

 

I disagree.

If you are a mediocre pitcher and pitch like Buehrle you have a chance to make it in baseball. His style should be THE ONLY way to pitch.

For me it is the only way to pitch.  Nova is painful to watch.  Hard to keep the defense awake.

Abreu has been adding to his trade value as he continues hitting homers & rbi's.  Interesting if offers tempt the FO.  I'm actually on the fence on this.  Good time for him to get hot... both for negotiating an extension with us or upping his value for trade.

Atta boy Yoyo!

This would be a good place to retake the lead.  Lead off double.

Great AB by Yoan.

Great to see the 3 core guys get something going tonight!!

That strike 2 call should be enough to get an ump suspended. 

Let’s mother Effin go. I thought for sure that was a lost at bat after that bad call.

Inspite of getting jobbed by the umpire on prior pitch.

Considering all the talk about Cole as a possible option for the Sox, am I the only one completely underwhelmed by his stuff tonight?

Looks good but not great.  Certainly doesn't look like a #1.

That was a nice piece of hitting by Abreu. Just a beautiful approach. 

"James squares around"

Jesus fuck he's hitting .337. Let him swing

tfw your cleanup hitter squares to bunt. ?

He hasn't been great this year as a whole tbh

Tell me I didn't see McCann attempt a bunt and waste a strike with no out and men on 1st and 3rd. Nuts!

That bunt attempt makes this a defensive at bat from the get go.

Ricky setting his players up to fail.

1st and 3rd, nobody out. One of the teams best hitters to date at the plate, it is only the 6th inning, and we are playing a juggernaut of an offense.

There is no defending the call for a bunt there.

JAMES MVP MCCANN!

What a fucking year.
