Bad location and not enough velo on it right now. He left quite a few over the middle of the plate today. Good thing he got the slider over to Walls. 

he's hitting 97-98, it's just bad location and throwing fastballs in fastball counts because he can't locate the slider

That award almost always goes to managers who see their teams through 15-20 game positive swings from year to year in victories.

The Twins are down Buxton, Kiriloff and Sonny Gray now.  Every team in baseball has injuries due to a confluence of factors.

Last year as well

And some fans here actually thought another team besides the Sox was going to win the Central?

Unfortunately cruising to a division title seems to be a curse in the post season.

LOL.

Zack Collins now looking like a HoF hitter in that Blue Jays lineup.

5/12 (417) 1 3 

(3/3 today with a homer)

The Tigers will be the tougher team with Greene back and then one more year to add FA's.

Good for him. The Sox got what they needed in a catcher who can actually catch. Collins had no role here.

Using injuries as an excuse for the Twins when you would never allow that for the Sox? So pathetic.

I might have to contact the sponsors lolololol

There will be adversity along the way and they’ve already experienced some. I just don’t see another team in the division near the same level of the Sox. If Cleveland had an offense, they’d be right there.

You spent 5 years trashing him, let's just remember that

or april pito  or April garcia!

I don’t like Garcia period ?

Gavin should have batted for Leury. 

If anyone wants to know where @caulfield12 stands, just go back to the first game thread. He called season over then. 

Rookie pitching tomorrow for the Rays. Should be a sweep if we're awake.

I'm thinking TA and Eloy get the day off, Vaughn in LF, Engel in RF, Leury at 2B, Sheets at DH.

Did you see who's pitching for the Sox by chance?

I’m not worried about Liam, he’s been one of the best relievers in baseball for 2-3 years, looks like the fastball is still there just having trouble locating. If I recall he went through two stretches like this last year, beginning of season and around the Field of Dreams game.

TA missed the first two games and just had a day. Eloy was just off two days. Both shouldn't sit.

Vaughn hitting 9th and the 1 hit wonder batting 6th. TLR needs to go F himself. This is ridiculous

With a fully healthy roster, Leury still will play everyday as I said back when we signed him in the offseason 

Leury should be hitting 9th until he gets himself straightened out.  Vaughn is a slugger.should not be hitting 9th.

He is just Cardiac Liam at this time. Fortunately he has only blown 1 save.  Proves that it ain’t over until is over.

Leury should be on the bench 6 out of every 7 days
