Fastball seems to be ranging from 88 to 92. Not a whole lot off his norms.

 

Balt 4-1 thru 3

Why didnt AJ slide the other inning? He has been playing like s*** lately, mentally.

Quintana's having way too many games now where he gives up crooked numbers early.

 

Usually, he's been able to recover and gut it out for 3-4 more innings, but we can't afford to be down so much early every time he goes out there...especially against the really good teams in baseball.

 

 

8-2 OAK over the Indians. Oakland is actually getting within shouting distance of the Rangers for 1st place in the AL West.

He lost it in a hurry. We are going to need runs.

One run wasn't going to win this one anyway.

Feels almost exactly like a repeat of the Sale start.

 

Two guys pitching on fumes that have never been extended so long in their careers.

 

They won't make excuses, but it has to be at least SOMETHING of a factor.

Before today his August ERA has been right around 3. Hasn't happened TOO many times. He hasn't been as dominant as previously, but I hope no one thought it was likely he'd continue with a low-2's ERA.

 

He's actually been better in August than July.

 

I'm guessing he just doesn't have it today. Or they are picking up on something, he's tipping without knowing it.

 

Wtf is tank swinging at?

With Britton on the mound, the Sox should be getting a lot of hits. Hopefully soon.

 

 

Wow. What a marvelous 3 outs. Foul ball pop up, and 2 terrible strikeouts.

Judging by how hard he started getting hit all at once, I was wondering if they were getting signs, but same idea honestly.

Cleveland has the 2nd worst run differential in all of baseball. We knew they weren't for real, but never thought they were this bad.

Britton isn't throwing strikes

What's the latest YOUK update?

 

The ubiquitous "day to day"? Aren't we all, as Farmio always says.

Maybe. The reason I'd lean towards tipping is because the big rally started with their catcher (the guy maybe most likely to notice), and then on the 2nd run through the lineup. Like they figured something out.

 

Watch a batting practice. Hitters get themselves out half the time. Five extra base hits in a row is at least in part good luck for Baltimore, no matter how bad the pitcher was

One bit of hope: This year the Sox are 17-6 the game after scoring 8+ runs in a game, and have averaged 5.8 runs in those games.

Those AB's look like these guys are in detroit already

robin might consider warming up Santiago

What a play by gordo

Those were my favorite kinds of plays to make as a second baseman. If you are fast enough, it is actually a pretty easy play -- but you look awesome doing it

If we make the playoffs, I pray we don't have to face Baltimore.

f***ing over
