Hendriks has no control on the slider or curve right now.

can't pitch with one pitch.  FFS.  He was only one of the most dominant closers in the game before he got here, *sigh*

throw a good slider and he's gone, come on, one time.

lol he was looking slider, we'll take it!

Nice at bat

No

Bobby can't hit a fastball eh..

well, we won

wow that was scary, threw it right down the middle (not where he wanted it)

Dalbec knew it was coming and couldn't hit it.

Ballgame!

No idea what he was looking for but Sox win let’s go

Nice! Please be the start of a winning streak.

Yay for W’s

Not a fan at all of the 7 inning rule but we'll take it.

Bummer looked pretty good, seemed to be another case of soxtalk overreaction over a fucking single 

You’d almost think Bummer didn’t have a 2.08 ERA based on some of the posts in here.

Good job Hendriks. Sox are better equipped to win 7 inning games right now til the starters start working deeper into games (aside from the no no). Nice win in Boston.

Yard work this afternoon.  Checked the score it was 2-0.  Decided to finish the game with gumballhead and this gamethread in the backyard....2-1....3-1....3-2....whew.  Nice Win.

Bullpen has blown some leads late, but overall the pitching has been fine. Problem has been the offense - they just don't score a lot - 4.53 runs per game over 15 games, and that includes 12 and 10 runs. Take those >10 run games away and they're averaging 3.54 runs per game in the other 13.

who is starting game 2 Gio?

100% agree...the offense has been the primary problem so far.  Obviously the bullpen has blown some games and Bummer himself hasn’t looked super sharp so far, but declaring someone who is considered one of the best relievers in baseball broken over ~3 innings is fucking insanity.

First post game I've seen so far. Man, Beckham looking good per usual

Looks like the leaders who we need to come through showed up.

Clean game.

Team realizes they have to address the LF situation soon.

Keuchel manned up.

Bullpen did its job.

Moncada also had a really nice double play ball turn on defense as well.  That RBI single up the middle and slightly to the opposite side was a sweet-looking swing.
