It sure seemed like Leasure was throwing a lot of high breaking balls before his home run pitch, which was a breaking ball right down the middle.

I still think Kopech has good stuff.   I think the organization has misused him.his entire time here and he has never benefited from good managers or coaches.    Watch a good team get him for pennies and he'll prosper in the right setting.

Lots of Os fans at the ballpark today.

They probably were on SoxTalk a few months ago.

There is no baseball related ailment that a 3 game series with the Sox can't fix.

Since this is a 4 game series, anyone on the IL for Baltimore should be injury free by tomorrow evening.

As greg said earlier in predicting 40ish wins there's always some part of our team that will implode on a given day. Today it's relief pitching and hitting. The starting pitching was good. Five hits offensively won't cut it.

So yes we lose 7 or 8 out of every 10. Man Kopech should change the picture on his drivers license to a meatball. Dig in when you face Kopech. Boom. Home run. Nice meatball by Leisure too.

Leisure makes me wish I had to work today.

At least Fedde might be in play for a trade to the O's.

Throw in Kopech as a BP pitcher to build up Baltimore hitters' confidence.

If we lose all four games of a four-game series again, somebody should be fired. Oops, my bad. Jerry will probably take it out on an usher or somebody. Don't mean for them to get fired. I'd start with Pedro on Sunday and let Oz or Tony take over for a month or two.

Counterpoint: I think Kopech is emotionally fragile, a bad starter and a worse reliever.

Loop shirt guy is a soldier.

Time for another fantastic finish

Hill K'd Henderson twice on pitches called balls that were in the zone one low away ( the whole ball easily in the zone) then up and away perfect pitch right on the corner and that was also called a ball.

Then another great pitch Henderson looked at just off the plate low and away called a ball. Any or all of those pitches are called strike by another ump .

The Sox 7-8-9 has a combined ops lower than Ohtani!

I'm kidding, but it's close

Thought Benintendi's had a chance there. I even yelled STREEETTTCCH. No dice

You know your team is bad when the opposition users a pitcher with a 5.50 era and no saves on the season as their closer against you

The Sox have been a gold mine when live betting against them with the lead.

I don’t know. I saw chalk. 

7th time this year the Sox had a lead in the 7th inning or later...and lost.

Second time Kopech has been directly responsible.

Another day, another loss on their way to 110 or so. 

Sox are 20 out. Remember Jerry owed it to the fans to hire Getz to ensure a quick fix

I know what you are saying but we both know that was total BS on JR's part, he was lying to try to appease the fan base.
