Buxton strikes again 

Buxton has figured it out. Injuries have held him back a little this year but he figured it out in the middle of last year.

The announcer is saying don't throw fastballs inside and they throw 2 in a row

Grandal sucks at pitch calling.  Been obvious he has his pitchers throw far too many fastballs.

Stop the damage.   

So Detwiler can only enter when the team is behind?  Is that it?

Unlike Ray...I really do not enjoy watching Buxton play.

That pitch selection continues to be brutal

Why would you throw the same exact pitch he just ripped foul? His offspeed is much better 

Maybe the Sox should have traded for another reliever...

Of course Marshall gets beat on an inside fastball to a righty. It’s happened so often lately, just terrible pitch selection.  This bullpen sucks now.

Awful. He was clearly sitting on it first pitch , if you are gonna do it again gotta go way In. We really really miss bummer

I've been saying it the past few days. Our bullpen will regress and Cishek will get better. Especially when teams see more of the yoing guys. Hopefully they can keep attacking and male their own adjustments. 

ballgame, get em tomorrow. 

When the pen has to get 4 innings a night, things just aren't going to go well. There just aren't that many shutdown guys out there right now.

Pretty sure that’s all he’s done the past month

We’re down 1 with a legit offense

hahaha I've always really loved Buxton. As a former significantly worse CF'er, I always have a bias there, and when you account for his overall game and greatness out there it's impossible for me to not be envious. 

I was scared he would skill us tonight and I was sadly wrong, even though he did kill us I'd rather see Byron healthy than banged up... although that hurts the sox.

Ballgame...?  Really?  Tad bit dramatic, geez.

This team has been playing great for two weeks now.  At least give them the benefit of the doubt.

Any chance Tyler Johnson gets called up this year? 

We need bummer back in the worst way... you know who we actually miss in these situations? Tommy Kahnle

Or Mazara for Jake Cave

I don't know why they didn't to be honest. 

Yeah, we need more than 5 innings from Keuchel, sorry. The pen isn't that great anyways, if they have to pitch 4 for Keuchel, 4-5 for Cease, 4-5 for Gio/Dunning, 4-6 for Lopez....runs will be scored.

Tuned in late but see DK was pulled after 85 pitches and 1 run?  Is he hurt or did he just look bad his last inning?

He's missing his UCL right now.
