Keep the offense,  rediscover the pitching!

Any word on who is starting pitcher?

No but it’s probably either Lopez or Lambert. 

Lambert is starting.  No word on corresponding move.

Oh boy

Wait, why a spot starter? Don’t we have anybody on normal rest?  Or are we skipping Rodon in the rotation or something?

Billy to IL

Just what we need another sub 500 arm. We have potentially 7 starting pitchers on the rosster and we have to bring up a below average AAA pitcher. Who the hell is making these calls? We need to find out an get him out of here.

Oh the horrors!  The Sox are using a starting pitching who is actually conditioned to start!

 

I just so so so want a lineup with Robert, Grandal and Eloy. I’m so tired of some of this.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Oh nice, more infielders in the outfield when they are not needed

Looks like we are playing with one outfielder today and Sheets is still batting clean p. I have been a supporter of Tony but he is losing me fast.

We are starting to look like a team that really doesn’t understand how to win. We are planning for the postseason before we are even close to qualifying. Sort of the cart before the horse and we are giving away some games that we need to win home field. So far we have proven that we can’t win on the road. So without home field we are probably toast. We are in a slump so we bring up Lambert to help us turn around.

They have no idea how to win yet have the biggest lead in baseball.  Either you are just trolling or in need of intense therapy. 

Didn't the very connected Portillos tell us we had seen the last of Lambert in a Sox uniform?

 

Hahn said straight up "bear with us", they're just trying to protect tired arms. Rodon has not looked strong and cease is at a huge jump in innings

Come on man.  You can't be serious.

I get it.  You’re a nervous-type guy, right?  

 

This might help- the Sox are going to lose…probably AT LEAST 20 more games these next 2 months.   Gotta be able to handle that. 
 

And keep in mind they are going to want guys fresh for October.  Brace for some weird lineups and some Lamberts

I’m as cautious as they come, but this is a healthy perspective to have. This is how you take advantage of the huge lead/terrible division.
