He was also missing his spots badly so they jumped him. I agree he needs a 3rd pitch though

He has a curve and slider, but hardly ever uses them.

Well, the fantasy league pitching stats have been totally eviscerated for this week, lol.

only the white sox can go from national headlines on a no hitter, to national headlines from a train wreck in Fenway

What. A. Disaster.

The diminished velocity is quite concerning

Settle down, snowflake. I know you're mad, everything is going to be OK. 

Good pitch.  Didn't get the call because he's been all over the damn place.

He has no curve anymore 

This is the worst I remember Lucas since 2018. Not fooling anyone on his stuff and terrible pitch selections. 

And of course he can't buy a call.

What ever happened to his "downer" or whatever he called it

There are 50 games you're just gonna win, and 50 you're just gonna lose, and this is one of those.

I love watching position players pitch.

I really have no idea how they’re going to get close to covering 8 today with Kopech unavailable.  Should be entertaining

Yeah, but it feels like we're the ones mostly participating in that act.

Without looking it up, it's got to be. We haven't seen him like this since he flipped the switch in 2019

Goes back to a heck of a lot easier to sit on a change up if you know the fastball is flat

we have already used up 7-8 of those 50 in the loss column

Five earned runs...

I don't think having one pitcher unavailable is going to make a difference. They wouldn't pitch him in a blowout anyway. We'll see Ruiz for 2 and Burdi for 2.

Twins just had Astudillo pitch for them last week

Inning mercifully over.

His curve was one of his better pitches in 2017-18...or am I totally imaging things?

Fuck 10 am day games. Gotta be murder for pitchers to get ready.

Think I hear banging on a garbage can every time a changeup comes.

Is this the fourth time now we can’t move past the .500 mark?

 

Lost while 0-0, 1-1. 3-3. 4-4. 5-5. and 6-6

You know if they take out all those hits they wouldn't have even scored that inning. 

Don't worry, you guys, the long inning means Eovaldi has cooled off and stiffened up. We have him in the ropes, just like we drew it up!
