much much better 

Cease is showing me something.  He's found his command.  Come on offense pick his ass up.

Our pitchers arent doing that bad of a job. We’re just not scoring runs. That has something to do with the players we have injured. The bottom half of the order is pretty weak right now but that can change if we can get Engel back and make some minor tweaks to the lineup.

Say what you want, but Cease has worked his way through this one, after the rough 1st. Time for Team Slappy to get 4 singles in a row, and hopefully find 2 runs.

Team is just very average vs RHP and we have less power than last year 

I'd like to file a formal complaint that Steve Cishek has only had 1 appearance in this 4 game series...please correct this travesty.

Love this amazing depth Hahn set up for this team

Walks 9th hitter again. Grandal doesn’t seem to be framing well at all.

Fck this ump

These telecasters are god awful

Cease does not get low call

That was a fine frame. 

As is the ump

DJ said Grandal set up inside and Cease goes outside. Crossup or not good.

This game thread sucks.

Even if Eloy was in LF and TA as SS, nobody is going to hit Ohtani when he is throwing like this.  No one.  

As for Cease, Rome wasn't built in a day.  Neither was Naples or even Butte, Montana.  He's a work in progress.

Even if we get beat tonight, this is the kind of loss you can live with, when you just flat out get beat by a true ace.  The first 3 games of shit defense is another story, as is not scoring enough against mid-rotation-at-best SPs.

The team has a lot of talent and is still growing.  And they'll still get shut down by the top aces in the game.  That always happens, even to teams that end up winning 100+ games.  Relax.

Also re: the depth: so who is going to help the Sox out by giving them all these really good young players like an excellent SS behind TA?  Remember we actually had 2, Hahn traded both for Samardzija and the ghost of James Shields, and IIRC took Burdi with the pick from Samardzija.  He's also the same guy that gave DK 4 years guaranteed, for example, and I'm a lot more worried about that one that Cease here on April 4th in his first full 162 game season.

People have been saying 'Rome wasn't built in a day' about Cease for literally hundreds of days now. 

just not our night.  Horrible BABIP luck and umping all night.

And that’s why you don’t walk the 9th hitter

This is a joke.  I swear if Tony doesn’t pinch hit for Hamilton I’m gonna lose it.

Missed spot badly

A strike should be a strike regardless. Sox are getting screwed

He has our only hit.

Well, that was a decent slider, just a better job of Madrigal'ing that ball to right by Fletcher.

Can't walk the 9 hitter against this lineup specifically. Cease can't have any complaints.

28 year old blind ass ump needs glasses

Keep walking guys Cease
