Welp we’re just about the time that Dallas loses it

Third time through? Time for an implosion!

I'd rather let Simmons do that than walk, especially with nobody on. 

100%. Can’t walk him. 

That should have been strike 3. 

that double play was delicious

Huge turn!

Picking up the game now. See Abreu has another HR. He's quietly putting together another delightful season, folks. Hail to Jose. Let's win.

I really hope Tony doesn't push his luck and let Keuchel start the 6th.

Beautiful turn. They make it look so easy. 

Huge play

That double play felt good.

Here come the 5th inning collapse.

Not yet.

I think Refsnyder was looking inside so much that he missed a center-cut cutter and grounded it to 3rd.

lol who are we kidding? Of course he will. That double play just made it more likely. 

Not smart to hit the guy right in front of Donaldson. 

This seems like a non-favorable matchup. Hope that isn't the case

Jax definitely getting a bigger zone than Keuchel tonight. 

Great recovery.  Go to the pen

I'm okay with this. Get 4 or 5 out of him and get to the bullpen.

I didn't see anything in that inning indicating he could make it that far.  

Glad to eat some crow on this one! 

No need to bring Dallas back for the 5th.  Let the pen finish it.

Way to get out of it. At 87 pitches, I hope TLR pulls him. 

Nice job DK. Got past the rough 1st. Now, we need to remember how to hit Jax, again.

It seems like a lot of people here want a bad inning just to say “I told you so…”

Which is an odd mentality for a fan. 

Very nice comeback for Dallas everyone had him as toast this game including me. He did a nice job adjusting. 

If you don't overextend him, Keuchel is still a perfectly fine twice through the order/5 inning SP.

Ask him for anything beyond that and it gets very dicey.

I think everyone here just wants the Sox to win.

Abreu just loves hitting in the month of August, huh
