There was a boost on Rivers for Castillo to have over 6.5 Ks. Basically a slam dunk.

I did not think this would hit 7 batters into the game...

Damn that humidor 

ah theres the warning track power the opposite way, the Menechino Special

I understand getting dominated by Castillo.  But this is why you can’t become the b**** to Bundy and Lynch and Bubic.

No, doesn't make it any less true. Quit being a wet blanket, geez.

I just thought you wanted to kiss him or something.

Well at least his pitch count is up there.

At least the K streak is over, Twins coughed up the lead in New York. Hopefully we can get 2/3 here.

 Cannot watch these hitters.

At least the previous 2 iterations of the Sox beat up on bad teams. 

Castillo was the top available arm on the market. This is the first time most of these guys are seeing him. Its funny how everyone here acts like every pitcher the Sox face is some bum that must be destroyed in the first two innings of every game.

I totally forgot Seby homered that game. Bad Andrew Heaney and the juiced ball was a good combo. 

Like a good Gleyber, Torres is there/here.

Yankees' crew just eviscerating Baldelli for pulling rookie pitcher simply because he had to face the line-up the third time through.

Eye test.  Not knee jerk.

Kid was really pitching excellently, got yanked and now they're in danger of losing yet another game to the Yankees.

I was joking.

Kopech claims to be healthy now, where'd his velocity disappear to??

Castillo resembles Avisail Garcia.

Those seem like moves by the FO/analytics department, not Baldelli. 

It's why they always pull Bundy after 5 innings. Even though it looked like the Sox has no shot against him last Sunday.

This is his velocity now.  Sure as heck is t sacrificing it for better command.

I don't care who you face, getting K'ed 7 times in a row to start the game is terrible. We can s%*# all over the Sox offense as much as we want considering they are in the bottom 5 in terms of offense and haven't scored in 18 innings. YES 18 innings. Hows that for being funny?

His velo isn't as important as his command. He's got enough ride on his fastball to fool guys at 95. If he starts throwing a better slider, he'll be fine throwing mid 90s.

Healthy and tired are 2 different things. We saw that with Rodon last year. Your arm can be healthy but not as strong.

Yeap right there gordon
