Unless Sox gift them more runs, Cleveland's offense is ass. Sox can def come back, and I just don't see them taking one in Chicago

Well that sucked…but honestly could have been much worse.

Bats need to come through and get at least 1 back

There were really no hard hit balls by the Guardians. Our pitching and D was not the best.

New test for the guys playing from behind for the first time.

Was going to happen eventually, wish it wasn't self-inflicted, but let's see what they've got.

CLE scores two runs on a high chopper to the pitcher after two walks and a single that would have been stopped if we weren't playing him up the middle

Yeah that whole inning was very avoidable.

out of the 8 wins vs Cleveland this year, only 2 came from behind

The walks are just ridiculous. Way too many

Guardsball!

It will be ok,I think we will tie this game up within 2 innings

that tailing fastball is nasty

So 25%? Is that supposed to be bad?

So, why wasn’t Kaye prepared to start this game? Big fail.

that's on the pitcher

Kay was all over the place, the opposite of pin point command

Benintendi has been terrible for quite a while. Trying to pull every single pitch.

Hitters back to taking strike 3

Newcomb was clearly pissed after the throwing error. Really dialed up the velocity. I don't think I've ever seen him hit 99.

He should have started the game. Kay couldn't throw a strike to save his life.

These opener games are a crap shoot. Kay just crapped out.

Benintendi can't do s%*# with balls outside, most obvious thing ever, idk what happened to this dude since coming to the Sox, he completely lost all his bat skill

3rd appearance in 4 playoff games, maybe struggling with the change in routine

Boy, we're just sitting there watching strike three go by,try to hit that s%*# at least

If they work, they look great. If they dont, they look like s%*#.

ever since his playing time went down a bit...lost his rhythm

great take.

If he keeps painting the inside corner when he wants to its going to be ugly

which is better, 25% or 75%

He's as good as Taylor was right now.

Can't quite figure out why we're taking so many strikes. Need to change our approach and start jumping on pitch one
