What a throw to first....I mean, he did have a terrible angle, but that looked like ME throwing it to first.

With one out. 

Nothing to protect on a full count. If you don't swing at a ball, the runner gets to 2nd. What you're saying makes no sense. Jose swung at a bad pitch. It happens a lot. No big deal.

What’s his excuse tonight?

This game is one swing from being over in the 2nd inning.  So glad they kept the momentum after the FOD game 

This why we needed to go all out to win at the Twins, before we ran into the better teams.  We have been punting many games lately.

Might not get out of this inning

He’s going to have to eat it, even if he gives up 10. The Sox have a tough week and can’t throw everything and the kitchen sink to try to salvage this albatross’s start.

That feeling when you are on the mound, you suck but you have to throw a pitch. Just blame your defense.

Keuchel probably blaming Zavala for how this inning has been going

Nah, it's the outfield positioning

Seems weak compared to the other playoff contenders

Zavala is terrible. We need Grandal back badly.

Especially against a soft-tossing lefty with…nothing

I think the Cubs could use him to get closer to the 1st pick in the next draft. 

Poison pilling him + sheets to the Cubs would make some sense if they had anyone interesting. A veteran of makes the most sense ala Ian Happ but that would require Happ not to be absolutely awful and not a dfa candidate given hes arb eligible

Keuchel makes any lineup look dangerous 

He went!  He Gone

Wow thanks ump!  Still in the game 

Dallas Kuechel is Mark Buehrle without the talent

50 pitches, 2 innings. Getting it done!

swung at ball 4, we will take it

I will never understand why they prioritized him over Ryu

yeah i was speaking more to their 1-3. I didnt realize Chapman was having such a rough season.

 

What is wrong with this team right now? Anybody have any ideas? It’s really frustrating.

He has to realize the outfielders are not allow to catch the ball in the bleachers.
