How can you walk Young. Jesus is that stupid.

97 pitches - 4 pitch walk.

Looks like I got a new name to add to the list huh?

Interesting night by Floyd. If when he's off, he's like this...the staff looks great.

99 pitches - inning over. Phew!

The next step for Gavin is to get better command of his fastball. He's making a lot of hitters miss on his offspeed stuff.

yeah he didnt have his good control tonight ....either way its nice to see floyd with a QS even though he didnt have his good control...another solid outing from him...hes given us a chance to win every game so far this year

3 runs allowed through 6, can't really blame anything on Floyd. Not his fault he had non-existent run support.

Do you let Floyd start the 7th with 99 pitches?

A quality start on a night where he seemed to struggle with his control is hard to complain about.

This teams offense is an embarassment. The same s*** as last year and the year before. Pathetic. How long until they make some kind of change. They went all last year and didn't change s***. Is it gonna take another s***ty year for them to make a change at hitting coach.

yep....hes done a great job at keeping us in games when he hasnt pitched his best...ive been cautious in getting excited about gavin..but he has shown a 4 plus pitches..if like fathom said, he can command his fastball hes gonna be pretty good

here we go - right now. back into this game.

He's 10 times better than I thought he'd be this season.

AJ swung at ball 3.

Might as well. Save the bullpen for tomorrow. I seriously doubt we even score a run tonight.

AJ swung at ball 3.

and ball 4...its amazing how many ABs he and uribe give away swinging at bad pitches

Do you let Floyd start the 7th with 99 pitches?

Honestly, I think I do...if for no other reason than I think we need to stretch Floyd out more. For example, a couple weeks ago, he seemed to tire after about 80-90 pitches, and with his frame he needs to be able to push it a little more.

95 pitches for Bonser, let's a couple of people on base, hopefully a run, and get him out of the game.

In terms of Walker...this team came out with a VERY good approach the beginning of the season. Obviously some things were instilled during ST and heading into the season. Somebody needs to let Walker know that he's still on payroll after March. It's ok to keep teaching and instilling advice.

Wow.

 

High strike first pitch there.

thats as bad as an AB from carlos as weve seen maybe all year....

 

the chamberlain AB was bad too

I'm going to change my approach. I highly doubt the Sox are going to win this game. Their approach is pathetic right now. CQ just swung at 2 balls in the dirt, Dye, AJ, and Uribe have been swinging at terrible pitches too. Swisher and Crede haven't gotten it going tonight. Too many negatives to make a positive out of this game.

I've missed most of this game. How many pitches have the Sox struck out on that were in the dirt? How many that were way out of the zone?

And he had a terrible one vs Street. You know he's been good when we can remember those so clearly.

Bonser's killing them with offspeed stuff.
