This has 3-2 loss written all over it.

 

But it will be a good loss for some reason. 

Don’t let Jose Ramirez beat us.

That was nice.

And I’m getting sick of Stone backing every move they make, according to him. Elvis was a great move, looks like I’d rather of had Garcia tonight 

He's an upgrade to what they had. But it's not like they won a bidding war.

Lopez stuff not quite as crisp as recent outings.

We just got to survive the 7th for Graveman and Hendriks. 

Have to be looking fastball 3-2.

He's hurt

He looks like Cy Young. We’re going to miss that run when we had a man on 3rd no nobody out. 

And when Grandal had the GIDP in the 1st

TLR will somehow force Diekman into this...

He's still not throwing strikes. Which is why they shouldn't be swinging wildly. You act like they only do this against this pitcher and in this game. It's EVERY FUCKING GAME, even against shit pitchers who throw garbage.

Fair, but I'm not gonna get upset about it when it's against someone like mackenzie who I personally think is real good.

78 of 101 for strikes….comical 

I presume most of the strike outs were swinging this time at curve balls outside of the zone.

Doubt it unless Cleveland ties it up here and lefties are coming up 

Uh oh.

Maile beating the Sox?

Figures.

Diekman may come in to face Kwan 

Probably gonna tie it here.

Oh fuck, it's going to be Kwan isn't it? 

Tonight's groupthink is even more dour than usual

Hard when it's the same lack of offense, missed scoring opportunities and having to hold a small lead all game.

That was another unforced error.  Sheets should have been the DH not Grandal.  Wasn’t Sheets 4-4 yesterday?

Lopez didn't seem to know how many outs there were.

Only hitting 350 this last stretch and had the key hit two nights ago against Detroit.

And Rosario kills the Sox.  Can't pitch around Kwan.

Yes, he has good stuff. But I can't recall more than 1 or 2 curveballs he's thrown for a strike all night. And he's thrown a ton of them. The Sox are just completely incapable of taking pitches, having plate discipline, or hitting situationally. Their approach is fucking garbage. 

Interesting decision

Diekman will be second guess.

I’m cool with them taking the first pitch or two of an at bat. Not flailing at a pitch they have no chance on.

Close pitch 3
