Big decision coming up if he loses Belt.

Can Graveman or Kelly go two days in a row?

Who is available today in the Sox bullpen?

Lopez, Lambert, Ruiz and Foster have been off for three days. Velasquez for eight days. Hopefully none of them are hurt.

Banks and Kelly threw 17 pitches yesterday, Graveman 12.

The one way a Sox player hasn't gotten hurt yet this season...

Great job by Cease.

Just wonder how long he can hold together physically with that much torque on all those sliders...seems to know this is his last hitter.

Shades of Joel Zumaya getting injured playing Guitar Hero.

I'll take 5 innings of 1 run pitching any time.

Very grind it out outing for Dylan.  His maturity as a SP is such a great development.

Please tell me who these quality starter who consistent go 7 innings are ? How many do you actually think there are ? And how often is consistently, 1/3 of all starts or more ?

It was certainly a lot easier in the NL with pitchers hitting.  But then a ton of PHers.

Abreu has gone from one homer every 12.6 to roughly one per 30ish at bats over the last two seasons.

Sheets with some really good at-bats against a tough pitcher today.

Abreu .286 BA .830 OPS.

After that April and May, WOW ?

Kelly claims he can but they have been super careful with Graveman...

Definitely figure to see Lopez here.

Isn't Foster the one with reverse splits?  That would play with so many lefties.

Moncada at least has the muscles to absorb that hype of hit by pitch.

 

Baltimore lead in Minny has become much more tenuous into the 9th. 3-2 now.  Not sure if Lopez avail again.

Pollock sucks

I really wish the Sox had the Giants’ plate discipline. 

Oh boy we're gonna commit a NOBLETIGER

He's dogshit

AJ wtf

Thank god the Giants defense sucks

Terrible terrible terrible at bat.

Would v have been better off with Kimbrel hitting.

The Giants are the worst defensive team I've seen in a while.

Leury almost got himself thrown out with all his hesitation on the basepaths.

Lucky leury...

I guess this is a team worse on defense than we are. 

We found the one .

That's pretty uncharacteristic.

Belt has multiple Gold Gloves.

But Pederson isn't that good...especially as he has put on weight and gotten older.

So does Brandon Crawford, who's currently out.  Pretty sure Longoria also has Gold Gloves.

pollock's strikeout might have been the worst I have seen all year.

1990 just called. 

Ok let's see how the BP fares today and if the Sox can keep adding on runs.

Zavala swings his bat like it's 20 pounds
