Terrible approach by the Cubans. Good night guys

at least Lucas has really settled in the last few innings. big time performance from him considering I'm sure he feels like shit right now.

Cool story Bro

If Robert and Vaughn start slumping, TA will be there all by himself.

I’d rather watch paint dry than watch this team.

I'd rather watch the Johnny Bench Krylon paint commercials. Would die for the Baseball Bunch and the voice of Mel Allen.

I know things look bad now, but it's not impossible that the old hitters finally start hitting again. It just doesn't feel like it right now.

Thats been their MO since day 1.  Just wait until Eloy gets back!

Can we bring in Fred Crime Dog McGriff and Tom Emanski please?

Would settle for Bill James figuring this mess out.

Its a national origin, not a race.  And a lot of the Sox players signed from Cuba have been free swingers with bad plate discipline.  Anybody remember Alexi Ramirez?  It works a lot of the time for them, but when it doesnt, its really bad.

Nice job by Gio getting through 5.

Technically I don't think Cuban is a race lol

This seems like a key at bat in the game.

Giolito definitely battled

Its a whole new ball game.  Sox are better than the Royals... I feel momentum swinging in their favor after that last inning.

The guy is literally ~30 ABs into the season.

I heard all the excuses about his hitting the last 2 years. Nothing is different this year....

30 AB's. or 300

Letting pitchers get you out by swinging at garbage is dumb baseball. I really can't stand watching dumb baseball.

Kudos to Lucas for gutting through 5. He’ll be better next time out.

Maybe to Dusty Baker?

We need to start the season in June/July lol.

I changed it after I realized my mistake.

Getting to face guys like Greinke for a 3rd time is when the middle of this lineup *should* feast

Gio battled just like Kopech on Sunday... can't ask for anything more from the starting rotation.  They've been stellar for over a month now.

Well considering the response was about him having a .380 OBP last year on a free-swinging team last year might be relevant.

Kudos for your optimism, but still advantage to the home team.

Back to a 50% ground out rate for Jose.
