I know he's been awful but I haven't seen Foster in weeks....maybe they need to call someone else up if they don't trust him at all.

Benetti tattling on kids in the stands again....disgraceful

He probably knows. Or someone on the staff knows. There's no way they don't. 

What is the rule? Does the ump have to allow a challenge in the 8th or is it discretionary?

Ruiz not very good in these situations, Tigers gifted him that last K

Ruiz is just not real good in general. He had good numbers in mop up duty early, but in high leverage situations he's been very shaky.

They don’t have much relief pitching depth in the minors.

You worry too much.

You have to ask for it and if the umps think it's worth a look they'll look at it. More often than not, they will look at it if you ask. 

AV with a rainshot!

If Ruiz doesn't get Castro you gotta go to Hendriks. Or Jace Fry.

From reading all if these you would have thought that it was bases loaded and no one out.

I looked online and he allowed one base runner

Omg what an at bat vs a righty

Vaughn Bomb!

AV! 

Right handers? He hits em!

Have a game, Vaughn!

Man this kid is going be a MVP candidate very soon

It's too bad Vaughn is worthless against righties! They should send him down.

Soxtalk experts said he's hurting the team though

Has anyone noticed Andrew is keeping his hands steadier in his load? He used to move his hands quite a bit before the swing.

Vaugn heating up again, right when I had given up on him.  Love it.

You can challenge anything thats challengable if you haven't used your challenge in any inning. If you have lost a challenge you can still ask for one and the umps  pretty much always will allow it .

Andrew Vaughn takes another RH deep!

Hot fire !!

AV is a veteran now with all the other rookies coming up this week.

Yeah, both Heuer and Ruiz allowed 1 baserunner and people might be surprised to learn that a 1.0 WHIP is actually good.

Trust me it looks worse if you're watching Ruiz pitch.
