My apologies to Ruiz and Fulmer. They have looked quite competent in covering 3 innings tonight. Nice to see.

Good stuff by Fulmer!

Carson Fulmer actually throwing strikes... I like this version of him. 

Told ya he's  a different guy. 

a 1 2 3 inning for Fulmer ? Wonder what his percentage of doing that is ?

Way too low of a sample size to determine. He had a full count on the first batter. He's always had the stuff just no control. IF he actually continues to throw strikes, he suddenly has a future here.

Josh Nelson posted some charts this morning about just how bad the OBP numbers have been throughout the organization.

Been that way since corpse ball days......terrible org philosophy.....

So far, you're right but the hitters react differently to him in this stint. His stuff deteriorated over the years and now it's starting to come back. He's intriguing at least now.

Thoughts and prayers to Jason and Stoney, who not only have had to watch this sox offense come to bat 13 times so far tonight, but talk about it too

Lol. Thanks for the stand up routine. 

This Carson Fulmer would be very nice for the rebuild...I still remember some expert saying he expected Fulmer to be the closer eventually and that was when he was still starting.

Sox putting on a clinic of taking strikes and chasing garbage.

Really. They have no clue up there. 

Watching this team hit is sad.

It's basically just a waiting game until Philly inevitably scores and wins. I hate to say

 

Only 2 other games being played.

Was that1st pitch to Franco called a ball as much in the strike zone as game day says it was ?

Keep tanking. It's ok. They might get a top college arm out of it with ace potential.

Honestly believe they’re 7 quality MLB players from contending next year. 3 starting position players, 2 starting pitchers and 2 relievers (that’s in addition to Robert and Madrigal)

Maybe he needed to be away from Coop.

 

How has Roman Quinn been the best player on the field tonight

Stick around, I'll be doing my Rick Hahn impressions later in the evening. I've been reading apologies from Fortune 500 companies to practice.

Abreu nearly got Tim killed there.

Like the aggressiveness by Abreu
