This ump is rough.

Say whatever you want about framing but seeing those 1st 2 pitches against Larnach where both could have been called strikes is ridiculous. That HR is on the terrible umpiring.  I've seen Pineda get calls on both sides of the plate that were easily balls, maybe 3 against Abreu alone in his 2 AB's.

lol, that pitch is a half foot outside.

Ump's terrible call just delayed the inevitable.

Command isn’t good without the sticky stuff

this is hard to watch

It is becoming sadly obvious that Lynn and Giolito are no longer strike out pitchers who need to figure out how to be two pitch pitchers. 

nice pitch.

It’s funny but his command was pretty bad in ST.  Wonder if he wasn’t using then.

i am getting too much anxiety thinking Lynn is hurt now

we'll take it.

Or maybe I am just an idiot.

Glad it happened now, Sox need to seriously think about bringing Rodon back as Giolito will no longer command the deal he was in line to get.  Roll the dice with Gio thru his arb years as they'll likely be much cheaper now and see if he can adjust to no longer cheating.   By then we'll know what Cease's true ceiling is and if he's the better long term investment than Gio.

All season I have found him to be a little tough to watch as he is comfortable pitching from behind in the count and I am never comfortable watching a pitcher behind in the count. 

Have they said if Hendriks is available today?

I swear pretty much all the extra base hits Billy has had this year have come against Minnesota. 

Hamilton rules.  Let’s get the run back

Pls bunt with Seby

I'd say he is with tomorrow being an off-day. 

Thankfully Billy is so damn fast. bad bunt

That'll work. 

Why bunt with the fastest man on earth on 2nd?

TA!
