The son of Roger Clemens can't pitch faster than 50 mph?

They don't want them trying. He hit 78 there. 

It's not good that Cease and Cueto are the team's best starters

I can't believe my lying eyes. We r winning. Can we blow an 8 run lead? Tony will try his hardest

How is this bad, at least for Cease?

And Lucas has been a lot better as of late.

I think our rotation is the least of our worries right now.  I think we have a chance to win every turn at the rotation.  

It's our pitiful offense and bullpen that leaves no margin for error .

Just got home for the last out of the game.  Maybe I should have watched after all.  But I did enjoy a beautiful afternoon.  I guess Cueto is our stopper?

5 page game thread....I think yesterday may have broken Soxtalk.  

JC was fantastic today. 

9 games left before the break. 6-3 gets you to .500. 

Need 3 of those 6 wins to be against the Twins. 

Not going to happen. Don't let today's result suck you back in. The Tigers are not a good team and that starter they sent out today isn't a Major Leaguer.

Most of the Debbie Downers go away after the line up they bitched about before 1st pitch actually comes out and produces.

Ir's bad because Kopech's been crap lately and Giolito's been  crap overall. It would be one thing if Cueto and Cease were great and the others were as good as last year. Instead they're in a tier way above the others

I can't remember the last time they scored early and cruised the rest of the game.  As I recall, it took a few innings to get to Verlander a few weeks ago.

There's a bunch of Debbie downers here... Player can't fart wrong without the so talk experts saying he sucks

OMG I love this team!! I'm using Photoshop to print World Series tickets!

You are basing your assumption that somehow GMs and scouts don't see what we see,

About to be 5 GB. Just insane Sox actually somehow still have a pulse.

The division is bad. There are plenty of games left. The Sox have lots of talent.

If they stay healthy, no reason to think they can’t make the playoffs. If they make the playoffs, no reason to think they can’t win a series or two or three.

Also, no reason to think any of that happens.

Cueto doesn't have the stuff to strike a bunch of people out and has good movement on all his pitches so he can pitch to contact and not get hit hard. Cease and Kopech pretty much have to strike out over a guy per inning or they'll get hit hard and that's going to take more pitches.

Cease has enough command and movement to make him harder to square up.  When Kopech is throwing 94-95 down the middle he is very hittable.

Have to be fair and post after wins too.

Nice win. The bats were back. Is Sheets getting good? New approach to all fields or what? My guy Jose nearing .300. He's a pro's pro.

Still we'll all be miserable tomorrow if Detroit wins 3 of 4. Would be nice to win.

"Show of hands, who actually wants to play today? Anybody?" - Tony, setting the lineup

All positions open with the exception of Cueto and Leury.

Fortunately, an 8 run lead with Cueto dealing is TLR proof.

When we hit homers at GRF we win, when we don’t, we give away home field advantage to the visitors.

Sheets & Leury in the OF, Leury & Harrison both in the same lineup, the jokes just aren't funny any more...

Fortunately Cueto bailed TLR out.

Agree, Sox have one of the best starting rotations in MLB.  Lack of good OF defense and lack of quality lefties have also hurt.

TLR press conference deflated Sox nation. Continued Losses plus continued TLR f*ckups and no adjustments or firings drive fans away.
