Duffey's been absolutely trash this series and we still haven't scored off him 

They don't PH but Engel has not had the best go lately.  Would like to see sheets here.

Offense just sleep walking tonight. Can't chain hits together and hitting the ball into the ground for double plays at the worst times. 

Need to hit and run more.  We are a ground ball hitting team.  Hit and runs move the defense and open more holes.  It is worth a try risking one out and not a DP, particularly with a fast runner at first.

Need to score a couple here 

It’s amazing so many people loved Collins, I think Collins and sheets and burger are all the same throw yermin in there too. Get rid of them if you can get something back to help this team do it. Collins is a career 250 minor league hitter and obviosly sucks at catching. Sheet s will be exposed. Burger might have a shot but still blocked.

Collins has been the worse first round pick of the decade.

Nah there's always Hawkins and Fulmer.

The combination of drafting Fulmer and how egregiously they rushed him up the ladder despite him not ever being effective takes it for me.

1 run on 8 hits...ugh.

Well, they've had their chances to cut into the deficit 

Hope Engel batting 2nd & Burger DHing vs a righty isn't something we see again this year.

That was the buddy bell era was it not?....a guy in charge of player development when nobody cared about player development 

Engel tonight looks like the 2019 version.

Double plays are killing the Sox in this game(and other games in the past). Need to try more steals and HIT & RUNS,and not just stand at first like a sitting duck.  We just hit too many ground balls.

Been a little off since the ASB.

Not a Ruiz fan but he's going to be relied on more at this rate.

Well Kopech should be one of the 3 or 4.  Cease & Kuechel can be put in the bullpen.

Kopeck will not be starting this season

Crochet for the 9th

So we are going to take a pitcher who is great in his role and make him a starter. Then we are going to take a starter and put him in the pen. Then when Kopech only pitches 5 innings we go to the guy you don’t trust as a starter.  

Yes, I prefer to have the guy who has a better chance of getting hitters out to pitch more innings.  Cease and/or Kuechel have proven they might be able to get hitters out for an inning or two, more than that not so much.

That's why I said he should be.  I realize he won't and we will most likely lose any playoff game in which Cease or Kuechel starts.

Another Moncada xbh

Moncada just missed a homer.
