rays made a panicked move going to their pen so early, let's make them pay.

Pretty sure it was an opener to bullpen game for them

He's got that Rick Sutcliffe thing where he cradles the ball behind his body... 

Barry Zito-esque

Grandal is a pleasure to watch at the plate. If only we had more with his approach.

Ah, thanks.

I have never done a 180 on a player like Eloy. He went from my favorite to least favorite in the span of 18 months. Started with his clown antics in the net and have kept going and going.

But he was a Top 5 hitter in baseball second half last year when Sox were out of it!!! 

Similar to Albert Belle's numbers with a non competitive Sox team.

Ah, thanks.

They wanted 60 pitches and four innings out of the starter.  That plan obviously failed.

He was a good pitcher twice. He has sucked this year so far all together & stunk last year

He was 7th in WAR amongst SPs between 2019-2021. That seems pretty good to me.

Beckham essentially just said Grandal was an automatic out with the exception of his first year ?

And now he's back to being ass. Great job by Katz making him good for a few years

Hiring a dbag like Beckman is a real fu to Sox fans. 

Found a weakness with slow diving inside slider... 

just got home, assuming ive missed nothing important

His last starts were much better... 

This guy sucks.

So rare not seeing a Sox hitter swing at garbage with RISP

Kopech got ambushed. 

Sox offense actually has a heartbeat.  Burger almost went yard to deepest part of the park in RCF. 

Taking walks!!!!

wow.

Fans in shock. 

Bullpen guy #4 up already. 

Remarkable how when you don't swing at garbage it leads to good results

Hey they scored in more than one inning! And took walks!

Yeah but they wanted at least 3 innings from him.

Gift call from blue.
