It's 5-0 now.  This inning is a scoreless inning if the manager doesn't play his infield in in the first inning with no score.

Rookie manager making rookie mistakes.

Can’t wait for the Sox to score 2 meaningless runs late and lose 8-2 so Schriffen can tell us this team is different than last year.

Team hasn’t been the same since blowing that 5-0 game against the Angels.

They ran into a good Mariner team and now facing one of the hottest teams in baseball.

Can we bury the .500 thread once the streak reaches five losses in a row??

CLE is smelling blood in the water and could pass the Yankees in the WC race over the weekend.

They are also missing two guys who were playing pretty well with Meidroth and Vargas. It is what it is. They are still a bad team that's showing promising signs. 

Shiffren needs to stop heaping praise on Sox players.  Every time he does the do something bad.

He heaps praise on everything, even when everything’s going horribly. It’s one of the reasons he’s so annoying. 

Where was this Civale in the first inning?

Getting let down by defensive positioning.

This ump has been awful both ways. 

Holy s%*#.  That was something. 

Brooks misread that ball badly and then set a screen on Colson who had the read.  Taylor never had a chance

Baldwin is a disaster defensively 

It looks like I need a temporary bandwagon to jump on - maybe the Brewers

Pitching is really starting to suck.  It wasn't great before but now games are over by the 3rd inning

Nice to see Brooks even it out.

Baldwin has the power stroke going like it’s AAA

But he can hit, gotta find a position.

Guards are doubling us to death.

Some bad pitching 

Civale (former Guardian) performed this one as if he had money on the over 8.5.  That balk for a veteran, very odd.

Probably not third.  I would stick him in left.

What an ugly game.
