Nice to see sliders making other batters look silly. 

Dunning has a solid slider.

Dunning having trouble locating against lefties it seems

Check out the hitters reactions.  His stuff is no where near 100% this year. When he comes back next year stronger he is going to be a nice starter to rely on.  His breaking pitches have such crazy late action on it 

Alex Gordon has been dreadful for a couple of years. Sox make him look way better than he is

We're just not getting Alex Gordon out tonight, I guess.

DD’s slider is wicked, a bunch of late movement 

Would love to see Gordon's stats vs every other team compared to against us.

Needs to have more confidence in breaking pitches to lefties 

He needs to work on his change up. If he can get some more arm side run on it, it might be a nice pitch to keep lefties honest.

Hope the pen is ready 

Time to pull him, Ricky left him in to get the win 

Heuer in

Another 4+ innings from the bullpen coming.

Dunning out, Heuer in.  

Now he brings in Heuer? I would have just left him in to finish off the inning and get the W potentially... wth

Glad we dont need a 5th starter for about 10 days, will give the bullpen an extra guy

Not a chance. That's been Ricky's problem from the get go. Leaving guys in who are clearly done to try and get Ws (or QS).

1 pitch 1 out!  Inning over!

I would like to see his stats against non-Sox teams this year. They’re probably numbers that Alonso would have been jealous of last year

Winning the game matters more than a pitcher getting a meaningless stat.

Stupid ESPN app said there was only one on base, definitely agree with pulling him then.

What did it say? Seems Fegan took it down.
