Keuchel and likely Lambert on Sunday means offense better pick it up or Indians are right back in this thing

Yeah, if we can't win a game with Lynn on the mound against their worst starter, I don't see us winning the next 2 games with Keuchel and who knows on the mound.

I think a lot of people on here undersold how difficult the Sox farm system made it to make deals, but they absolutely could have surpassed what the Giants gave up for Bryant. Particularly when, IMO, at least, they paid 110 cents on the dollar for Kimbrel.

Possibly, but there is also over $6M due, I haven’t seen any reports the Cubs are eating any of it.

Also, are the Sox assuming any of the 2021 salary for Kimbrel?

Acting like they’ve clinched already

They'll snap out of it sooner than later. We've seen every year, with every team when they go through funks. 

Baseball always seems to balance itself out. We said all along there was no way they should have been doing some of the things they were doing with all these guys out of the lineup......sort of coming back to earth right now.

Like losing Rodon to Hernandez yesterday?

Really could have used the double play there. Seby's had some throwing issues. 

2-1 feels like 14-0

Absolutely. And with the trade deadline acquisitions, Eloy, Robert, and Grandal soon the pendulum will swing the other way. And swing very very hard.

Slapdick motherfucker!

I love Lance Lynn.

I love how Lance trash talks himself.

 

We are getting no hit by a clown pitcher 

Lfg

Here comes a Sheets extra base hit

This is probably the best three hitters we have in a row tonight, so score some fucking runs please.

Gavin needs to get into one here.

We have a HR

We have a HR

"Home run"

Sheets take some of the most professional at-bats on the entire roster

Some Jose Abreu food for thought there...glad the weather warmed up!

They won’t have the balls to do this but let Yoan lead off

Doesn’t fit Tony’s RLRLRLRL paradigm.

Never mind, two good pitches to hit and had bad swings

We're gonna dick around and let Mejia go 6 or 7 innings in a close game. Then they're gonna throw Classe and Karinchak and shut us down. Fuck this is annoying. 

At least Yoan looks like he's coming around. 

Thank you, Yoan, for the first TRUE hit of the game against this pitching juggernaut!

Nice work Yoan!

2 balls hit above 100 MPH from Moncada is great to see. Hopefully he's about to heat it up.
