oh jesus Colson is 0 for 8 with 7Ks vs this dude LOL

As I said, matchup nightmare. He attacks the 2 biggest holes in Colson's swing well.

Colson has no clue

I don't see how Derek Shoman has a job next year on this team tbh, you cannot bring him back, this is such an epic failure

He's definitely breaking the strikeout record.

Not a terrible AB there. If he's going to put that pitch just an inch outside the zone you just have to concede that he's gonna beat you.

It's hard to be optimistic at this point from what we have seen lately. BUT this team has a flair for the dramatic.

I do think you have to put your hottest hitters in the line-up for the whole series (Yes, I'm talking about Grichuk).

The demise of Mune is baffling and just doesn't make sense. If the baseball gods owe us anything I would wish for Mune to get hot the last 13 games of the season.

Here's to hope..............

Let’s wait for Mune hope, but not in a clean up spot. It is unbelievable to me that will is doubling down on Mune hitting cleanup. He is striking out right and left with RISP.

Williams settled in nicely after we left him off the hook. Shocker.

11 pitch inning. Way to make him work boys!!!

Can Sox pop more balls up 🆙

That is a sign of a team pressing. I have watched too much baseball to know when team is popping everything up they are squeezing the saw dust out of the bat.

Surprised we only went for one inning from Newcomb.

I would have let Newcomb go a second inning but whatever.

I really thought the HR by grich on Saturday would have loosened up this team. But it doesn't seem like it

Everyone will point to how amazing the first half was. We will be gaslighted into trying to believe the second half wasn’t a complete debacle.

Sad thing is the pitching has been pretty fucking good outside Castillo.

Getting your opponent to burn their second best reliever in the first inning and then have their starter pitch through a lineup that is still very bad in terms of platoon feels like a big win for Cleveland IMO.

Way to battle back!

Adell should have challenged

Also two of those pitches were balls.

If that didnt do it the only thing I see doing it is coming down with a couple of wins in Cleveland through sheer luck or something.

Just barely missed, but we'll take it.

Ok… now I like this blue. 😬😆

Burke didn't throw a single pitch over the zone in that first AB

A break!
