That pitch looks like a strike the whole way until the last foot.

This team is an absolute pleasure to watch right now. 

Man, I am slobbering at how many wins we could potentially stack with our upcoming schedule. 

Really trying not to get my hopes up... but the way we've been playing and dominating poor competition. KC/DET/PIT is such cake (yes, I know, Minny in the middle).

Big "Cashing dem checks" energy from Bell

He hasn't even really been paid yet.

Kuechel always does this in the 6th, it seems like.

absolutely. Orioles got crapped on last year but they had a number of guys surprise. This team has none of that, and unlike the tigers, no respectable vets keeping it somewhat afloat.

Even the bad Sox teams of the past few years had exciting players. There were too many innings where I felt like taking a nap or running to the store, but there were still at bats and starts that I had to see. Closest the Pirates have to that is, what, Polanco? Yuck.

Yep when he loses it, it goes fast

Yeah, I would say it's more "This team and this season is bull sh*t. Therefore, I don't give a sh*t." energy.

Come on DK

Third time through the lineup.

We need to get our bullpen guys some work, I feel like most haven't pitched in days

Stop me if you’ve heard this before...nobody up in the bullpen!

Are we paying relief pitchers for every warm-up pitch?

Atlanta used to often pull him after 5ish innings pitched. I would be puzzled when he was throwing well. I sort of get it now. I don't know if it's a problem with the 3rd time through the order or if he just fatigues suddenly. But... every start he just cruises. Then, the 6th inning happens, and he's a totally different pitcher. 

No one up in the pen...

This is deja vu to his performance against the Cardinals.

Oh, totally. But outings like these where he just totally loses his command. I think it's third time through the lineup - plus him fatiguing. 

it took this long to get the bullpen up? come the fuck on!

8-2.  Pen up now.  RR is so dumb...

We are up 8-2..... chill

Not really a third time through the lineup thing when he walked 3 dudes, at least one of which after getting up 0-2.

Not a bad pitch but I think Stallings was looking outside change there.

Inning Over.

Sox aren't done scoring runs today me thinks.

DK gave us exactly what we needed today.

A Robert HR would be a nice cherry.
