Anyone else notice anytime Yoan makes hard contact, he doesn't know where the ball is going?    He hesitates and loses a split second or two out of the box. 

It's annoying. 

It is part of the unmeasurable, unquantifiable case for (often pointless) hustling all the time. 

I think you could speculate that when guys subscribe to the "don't overdue it unless you have to" thought process on effort and pointless hustle that when it actually comes time to bust your butt.... you hesitate.  If you are going 100 miles per hour all the time you don't have to worry about it.

hard hit = out/soft hit = hit

The outs in this inning were loud. The hits are so soft they barely dented the grass.

Keuchel is just so bad

In this era of missing bats,  Keuchel's suckage is so glaring. 

$18.5 million next season....

If they spend money in the offseason, they'll be a threat next year.

They can trade Keuchel for Hinch...?

The Sox thought they were getting the next Buehrle but instead got post-injury Danks

9 hits and not even 4 innings.

0-2 sinker right down the plate.  This guy is fucking awful

Tigers are just wearing out that hole between first and 2nd. 

Baddoo sure hits the Sox.

They have to stop pitching him.  It’s not like he’s even giving you innings.

Here comes Schoop to untie it. 

From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like we’re going to win this one.

Guy sucks

Since the ASB, Keuchel sporting a 1.63 WHIP. That is ridiculous for a 'starting' pitcher.

That looked like a pitch around.

They need to approach him and tell him "we are transitioning you to the bullpen for the postseason" 

To not make it obvious you are avoiding the 160 inning mark.

They’ve lost 9 of his last 11 I believe

Why would you even want him in the postseason?

lmao DK

1st pitch after the meeting is an absolute hanger

I'd skip Keuchel next time out.  He just can't miss enough barrels. No point in him pitching anymore this season.  I'd roll the dice with Reynaldo or some sort of Mike Wright bullpen game if  Rodon can't go in the playoffs.  

I'm sure Dallas won't have anything to say when he is left off the roster either ?.

To put it in perspective, James Sucks Shields posted 1.309 and and 1.444 WHIPs his final 2 full seasons with us. 

You mean guys with no control, who throw 86-89 in the zone, aren't effective?
