Our batters are clueless with no game plan tonight. This will not end well boys

Perfect pitch to hit and Garcia stares at it

Leury watches strike 3 ??

Teams in hitting slumps don't win these games

The difference between Cleveland's pitching development and ours is astounding. Its hard to believe.

That was too easy.  9 straight Sox retired...

Adam Engle has had the two best at bats of the night; i'm dead.

That has nothing to do with arm not being ready to throw more than 80 pitches this early in the season.

8 shutout innings from Plesac, did not see that coming 

I seriously think he said, “throws from anal high.”

Because he had three weeks to get ready for a season?

No, there's no reason at any point in a season that your #1 can only go 6 innings and 85 pitches, when he is throwing so well.  This is a 2 month season.  I thought we were all in.  Don't baby the starters.  Back in the day they could go so much deeper, geez.

What's the MLB record for earliest hitting coach dismissal in a season?  

We might be the franchise to do it.

This isn't the first time Plesac has pitched well against the Sox.

Thanks, Nolan Ryan.

Pleasac has thrown 98 and he still might not be done.

Why not?

Well, if we can get this to extras the Sox will get a guy in scoring position.  

Nice play by Leury

Last year, on May 23rd the best offense in baseball faced one of the worst teams in baseball and one of the worst starting pitchers in all of baseball from the year prior. They were held to four hits and were struck out 9 times by that starter while walking 0.

The team was the Houston Astros and the starter was Lucas Giolito.

There is no point in changing how you view this team or their offense because of the results through 6 games because the 6 games mean very little.

Just depends on how the teams conditioned there pitchers with the shortened camp. Cleveland seems to be the only team of the ones we've seen that have their starters go more than 80 pitches so far.

But will they be able to move him to third base let alone home?
