1 for last 64 for three of our guys

Who’s the third guy there?

robert is a rookie who has never proven anything....

 

But Mcann's at bat is what losers are made of..

Pitcher throws 7 balls in the dirt and he swung at 6 of them.

Do you think sitting him is the best path to winning?

I think when a pitcher cant locate a fastball that is well under his normal velo is a warning sign that should tell a manager to get him out to avoid possible injury.

Edit...seems like his velo is starting to tick up this inning

sorry i laughed. but how is that even possible with how good this team was a month ago. 

Baseball, plain and simple, magnified with this farce of a season.
 

Could have had a meaningful season but the owners had no interest in it. Would have had playoffs with zero games if they could get away with it.

He just threw a fastball at 95.  Don't quit your day job.

4 innings, 1 run, 8 strikeouts. Clearly there is something wrong.

He was at 92-93 the prior two innings.  Thats usually a big warning sign

Dude literally just struck out the side.  He's the ace of the staff.  Do you really think going to the bullpen in the 4th is a good idea?

Giolito Ks the side in the 4th!

That's what the pro scouts on Soxtalk said vs Milwaukee and he threw a no hitter like 2 weeks later

Win. This. Damned. Game.

Hello, exactly.

Some of the meat being slung in this thread by a few remind me of the Arby’s monstrosity of a sandwich rolled out a few years ago.

SoxTalk, we have the meats!

refreshing to see a game where balls and strikes don't dictate everything. I honestly believe part of this slump has been the worst balls and strike calling over the last 7 games I have ever seen.

A warning sign of what.  

I'd send Madrigal at some point. Force the issue. Would rather rely on one more hit than two.

Madrigal is such a quiet stud. Knew he was doing good, but he’s hitting .352 in 100 PAs? Wow.

I hate this because it's stressing me out, but this is a great duel 

Tim now 5 for his last 24, its going sideways for the whole lineup.

moncada crushes that pitch 440ft last year
