Verlander almost snapped off another of those to Beckham it just came in high.

If Dunn gets paid by the strikeout, his payrate is sinking fast.

31k.

Hawk working the doom and gloom forecast to no end give it up already.

At least Beckham battled him and helped to elevate his pitch count.

 

If we just had decent seasons from Rios, Dunn and Thornton, we'd be running away from the division.

 

Then again, who could have expected Lillibridge to far outhomer Dunn and hit higher than him in the line-up? But the even bigger joke is Rios with the mid 500's OPS in the heart of the order.

 

I'd almost rather have Pierre there than Rios.

I have no clue how Sale's ever going to be a starter. Righties get too good of a look against him.

Where's Crain?

Man, no excuse for the walk there with him down 0-2

No idea why they let him start this inning. It's like Ozzie was more scared of Avila than Jhonny.

Maybe the Sox management agree and that's why is in the pen.

And that means that draft pick was pretty disappointing.

With Sale having no command, just bring in Crain if he's going to be bunting.

That's a really difficult angle for them to hit though, especially on offspeed stuff.

 

His problem right now is release point. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he's tipping pitches as well considering how he struggles to find his release point every outing.

Why is he still out there?

Shroom that!

Sale is lucky he sure is not fooling anyone.

Sale with a horse shoe up his ass this outing, but we'll take it! How was that not a double play??

I thought that too last year, but it seems his arm angle has flattened out and his fastball looks like a balloon to righties.

Welcome back JC.

Beautiful by Crain.

Nice job, Crain!

That's entirely because of the lack of release point consistency, I'd say.

And there's Brent trying to be aggressive on him after 3 tentative at bats.

Nice, Brent. NOW a bunt is in order.

Good bunt JP.

By the way...that's an excellent spot/situation for the bunt.
