Also, Clev got ROCKED in AAA today. He's not joining the team. I still think the only reason he's there is the minority owner who may or may not have shares anymore,but probably did when he was signed

I'll be sure to try this the next time I order one. I expect to be slapped.

Trust me, or ask a Greek speaking friend. It ain't yee-ro or ji-ro. The y sound comes from the back of the throat and the r should almost sound like a "d". But, yes, you still might get slapped.

I'm lazily learning Greek, I thought 'γυρ' was pronounced like 'yeer'

Houser should never be striking so many out

Awful call by umps, but dear lord, swing the bat

Schultz sure has his share of hurts. But, what I don't get is that they told him to stop throwing the cutter. The cutter is a great pitch. Just ask Mariano Rivera.  Buehrle threw a good one, IIRC. Plus, it's easy on the arm.

How does he have 8 Ks already???? Shouldn't the Sox be familiar with him? is this a career high? It ties a season high.

Benny has made some nice plays tonight

The whole thing with him was a disaster this year 

I just saw Simpson’s single. What happened with Colson on that?

Baldwin homer incoming

 

Yo-Yo's clawing some of it back.

That one and the prior one past Meidroth both had a chance of play being made

Nice

Nice piece of hitting 

FWIW a common theme of Houser's Rays starts that I've seen has been them leaving him in an inning too long. Would be nice if that's the case here tonight.

why are they interviewing these hockey dudes

Will is getting ejected (finally) and they are interviewing some knucklehleads in the stands. Great job CHSN

Damn was hoping for one more batter

Remind me to post the ump scorecard tomorrow here. This dude is boning us hard

Wow. it was stupid to begin with. Good for Venable finally.

I think the Sox have been shafted more than any other team. Venable needs to be more vocal, glad he finally did something.

It's true according to this."framing" is probably a factor.
