C'mon, Lucas.

Throw strikes. Quickly.

Like Buerhle used to.

We're sure taking a lot of middle middle fastballs. 

Looks like we're up there taking the 1st couple of pitches. But you're right the 88 MPH pitch down the middle on the 1st pitch looks like a get me over knowing the Sox are taking.

Lucas looked to have pretty good fastball location and velo the first 2 innings. Not so much this inning. 

At least we aren't the only ones who can't lay off that.

He doesn’t have Buehrle in him. He’s fighting Todd Ritchie most of the time.

They better not give him a long term deal.

Also Kopech has a skinny Rod Beck look to him with that facial hair.

That thing looked like a breaking pitch out of his hand. I'm sure that had some good ride on it. Celestino probably thought it was gonna be at the top of the zone out of the hand and it just kept rising.

Gio ain't all sweaty.

Nothing has indicated to me the Sox will score this inning but  the time is now !

I hope they start swinging earlier in the count the 2nd time through. Bundy is just throwing get me over pitches on the first pitch. 

Guardians down 1-0

That red sweatshirt Dylan is wearing is badass 

Andrew took the hanging slider. Best pitch he got the whole AB. 

2nd time Bundy got a swing and miss way out of the zone on a slider. Really thought Vaughn would deliver but let a high curve go by for a strike then swung through 89 MPH and K'd on the slider way out of the zone.

Dylan Cease is the kind of guy you wish your sister would go out with instead of all the creeps and losers she goes for.

Gio can't keep falling behind. The Twins are hitting some shots of him and the luck won't continue.

Gio is basically Javy Vazquez this year. The one bad inning will eventually come.

Naturally.

And we'll see if the Sox can finally get to Bundy, a guy who seems pretty bad against everyone else in baseball but looks like a Cy Young candidate when he throws against the Sox.

It would help if we stop swinging at balls 6 inches off the plate like Vaughn just did.

When Gio starts doing the speed walk, it's not a good sign.

Nice play by Pollock. Thought that was gonna fall for sure. Gio isn't fooling anyone the 2nd time around. 

Gio throwing 91 and missing location on the fastball. This might get real bad real quick.

Yep.

just what makes that little old ant....

Not looking good. 

Not sure they turn 2 anyways, but not a good play from Andrus. 

Lucas getting squeezed this inning a little bit.

If everything else played out the same but the only difference was the Sox actually hung on to win the game they lost to Cleveland when they led 8-2 in the 9th, there would be a 3 way lie for 1st in the ALC right now.

It would have helped to DFA Keuchel earlier.  DK just got DFA again by the Rangers after a 12 ERA in 2 starts.
