I love that easy Eloy power.

Ok Eloy but Oller with a nice outing. 

This team sure looks a lot better when the guys who are supposed to hit actually do it.

Oller had been giving up 2.5 HRs per 9 coming into this start. At least we tagged him with 2 homers.

Who doesn't have nice outings against us?!

No kidding. Blackburn was god awful coming into the start yesterday and threw 5 shutout innings. 

Cease and Cueto starts feel like the first half of last season.

That's the frustrating thing, if the Sox can find a little bit more offense and win the division, Cease-Cueto-Kopech give them a chance to beat anybody in the postseason.

Jhonny Ace Queto could be story of the season. I would keep him around. 

can anyone tell me what Ceases numbers would look like without the Boston game?

Same - he’s pitching out of his mind for this team.

Of course Sox catch both Keller and Singer to start the KC series.

insurance runs would be just nifty

Let's hope 1 run is nifty enough.

Throw strikes Graveman.

I think his ERA would be like 1.8. McClanahan had a bad start today so I'm not sure he's the CY favorite anymore. Verlander is probably in the lead now. 

Check out Cease's month of July, thats just unworldly

30IP, 2 ER

edit: if you talk MVPs of this club and don't start with Cease you are just wrong.

KC is always a pain in the ass to play. Outside of 2020, we haven't really played them all that well.

Let's get another couple of runs in the bottom of the 8th to give Liam the day off

Tim throws the bat after striking out on a shitty pitch. Maybe don't swing at that?

Righties hitting .280 against Graveman...that's really not good for an 8th inning reliever.

At least it wasn’t thrown at the ump

What if he meant to throw it at the 3rd base ump who he bumped into on Friday night?

Nice try 

that was a hell of an effort by leury and andrew

Vaughn picks it better than Abreu.

Great effort but just late.
