Idk if he’s going to get enough innings. 

Kopech/Crochet might just be relievers. 

The way Kopech was used in the first half indicates he is being stretched out. But I think the Sox are lying through their teeth when they claim Crochet will be a SP.

Biggest crowd of the year.

Biggest home stinker of the year.

For their careers?  Way too early to assess that.

Jack your trolling has been on point lately

Indians fighting back about to tie it

Just curious, does anyone know why we didn’t pitch Rodon tonight.  He did not pitch in the all star game, and he is, along with Lynn, our best and toughest pitcher.  A win tonight would have give us momentum going forward in the series.

The timing just doesn't match up. Idk how they could ever get Kopech stretched out while trying to win and simultaneously keeping him at the MLB level.

People probably expected this. Not surprised by the result.

Stoney was saying he didn’t pitch, but he was there, and that has some measurable fatigue factor to it that he can take some extra time.

With Rodon and Lynn going to the ASG, they probably wanted to be conservative in the event he did pitch.

With pitchers doing their pre-start throwing work mid-week, Tony / Katz likely set the schedule before the ASG, with Rodon OK to start even if he pitched Tuesday, and intentionally skipping Lynn against Houston.

Would have pitched Rodon tonight to have a better chance before the big crowd.

Goodwin entered tonight hitting .333/.437/.700 vs RHP this year. He's been the best hitter on the team since he was called up. Who would be the better option to hit 4th right now?

I'm sure he will have a big crowd for the Family Sunday game.  Screw these asshat astros....take the next 2 and win the damn series.

OK. Thanks for your feedback.

0-5 against Astros completely dominated

Might as well just say 3-9 in the order had a horrible game.

True but Goodwin in particular looked like he’s never seen a breaking ball

The Sox are lucky they're the only team trying to win the ALC right now. I'm not sure they'd beat a serious competitor.

Sox FO only care about winning the division, probably couldn't care less about individual matchups.  No matter how bad the team looks nationally.  Sox playing in such a horrible division isn't gonna prepare them for the more competitive teams they'll see in the playoffs

also the offense should've been addressed via trade a month ago, but again, they're not gonna do shit with a 7+ game lead

sucks as fans but meh

Couldn’t disagree with a post more

Just don't get swept (again).
