Well ok, Wasn't pretty Liam. We'll take it. 

Can't fault him too much aside from the Perez double after having him 0-2. The catcher's interference definitely changed the inning.

Three consecutive games with out diving up a run in the “regular” innings.

A batter hasn’t scored in any inning for three straight games. 

Despite the drama, that was an impressive series of at-bats and some nasty stuff from Hendriks.

One run in three games.  Wow

 

Somehow this ball club is in 1st place even with all these circus shows

Glad they didn't blow my first Game Thread Win!

Go Sox!!!

 

Just don't forget to make one tomorrow, like I did for mine. That was the game Robert got hurt. I take full responsibility for it. You don't want that on your shoulders!

Sweet another week or so and we’ll be 1st in the AL.  Even with a few top guys out, no other team in the AL has even close to the level of talent we have.  It’s so obvious.  Nothing to really worry about.  Never was. 

Collins > Grandal, IMO.

Too much talent and a bad division

And two consecutive games against LHP coming up.

Royals have now lost six in a row.   Cleveland 1/2 GB, KC suddenly trailing by 1 1/2 after leading for three straight weeks.

Indians desperately need another bat after two no hitters.  Lindor homered tonight for the Mets, btw.

The AL seams to be full of them, but it's good to be the one in first place.

The difference between Colome and Hendricks is about 10k's/9.

I do REALLY wish our catchers knew how to not get their gloves hit.

Didn't I hear they brought in a great Catching Coach this year?  Collins is looking much better back there but damn you're right about the # of interference calls

 

Sean Manaea has another no hitter going through seven against TB.

 

They need to bring up Wander Franco, and soon.

Excuse me, sir, this is NOT the Liam Hendriks I was promised, in the off season.

It scares me how that contract will be looked back on two years. 

we had the right guy up with the bases loaded there... kind of lucky.

Yep, Jerry Narron was brought in to work with the catchers.

The league is just so weird this year. I don't know if this is how it usually is, but If you look at the run differentials and then take a look at records, it will leave you scratching your head. Some examples:

White Sox have a +38 run differential and Cleveland with a +8 run differential...yet they are separated by just a half game in the standings.

KC with a -17 run differential yet they are one game above .500

Oakland with a -13 run differential and they're in first place at 19-14 in the AL West (expected W/L of 15-18), while Houston has a +28 differential with a record of 16-15 (expected 18-13 record) and they're in 3rd! So bizzare.

Chill dude and ease on your asshole being clenched. I was just being facetious 

Take a few deep breaths next time you think about posting. Saying Keller is gonna have his “best start of the year” after 7 batters... lol. Give your enter key a break it’s gotta be close to broken with how quick and how often you b****.

I had sound off for this game....Jason seemed to be extra annoying tonight by the comments here?

Oh look, a catcher confident enough to call sliders with runners in scoring position 

The catcher just gotta believe.
