How about a home run?

 

Try a strikeout instead. Get overmatched by a 38-year-old.

Worst stretch of games I've ever seen from Abreu. Looks like he's lost all confidence. Of course, he'll be batting 2nd tomorrow.

This team f***ing sucks. What a big bag of ass. Just trade everyone lol

Abreu f***ing sucks.

 

losing himself a TON of money in arbitration after this year.

I got banned for saying the bottom would fall out of this team after the 8th inning in Texas. I didn't want to be right, but I was.

Still have two months to see how they play. Definitely don't want to be in-between again like last year.

Haha, this umpire sucks. 0-1 pitch to Cain was a perfect strike.

Bound to happen

Ball game. This b**** is ovah

Thanks ump...of course their fly ball clears the fence.

And 2 runs is probably insurmountable

If I trusted Hahn to evaluate talent, they could get a BOATLOAD of young talent for Eaton/Quintana/Sale/Frazier/Robertson.

 

Obviously, it's incredible to even think that way after the high of Frazier's GS in extras and STILL being in 1st place by 1 1/2 games near the end of May. It was still less than 2 weeks ago we had a surefire playoff team.

 

 

 

Cain homer, high change-up? Sigh. Guess it was a running fastball that Cain leaned back on it and got extended.

That's the game.

 

Goodbye 1st place. It was nice knowing you.

HA!

2 whole runs? Wow, Gonzalez sucks. You can't expect any reasonable offense to cover a massive spread like that. This is nearly as awful of a pitching performance as Quintana's 3-run debacle last night.

Oh boy can't wait for AAAlbers to throw some sinkless sinkers

We scored 1 run off the Royals 6th and 7th starters.

Sox are in the National League...offense and home runs are overrated, right?

This ballgame is ova.

This is a nightmare. Jason and Stone bragging up Gonzalez and the very next pitch hit by Cain for a homer. Our hitters continue to strike out and pop-up

the SP it the last of the team's worries right now.

Out of 185 qualified hitters, Austin Jackson is 176th and Jose Abreu is 177 in terms of fWAR (funny thing is Alexei is 178th)

The pitching finally stopped the bleeding and then the hitters went and died. It sucks, I wanted this be a fun year and instead the Sox are gonna collapse before they could even get started. Meanwhile TT and Semien haunt us.

I would say the match-up with Rodon vs. all their LH hitters looks encouraging but it doesn't matter what things APPEAR to be on paper at this point in the slump...

 

 

Clearly, nobody's getting traded anytime soon. But they have to do SOMETHING to shake things up. What's crazy is Ventura has gone from surefire AL Manager of the Year to being a bit in the hot seat again with no contract for next season and Renteria's presence on the bench as manager in waiting.

 

Meanwhile, 8 K's for Gonzalez...who has solidified his hold on the 5th spot for now.

 

Erik Johnson vs. that red-hot Indians' line-up is a disaster waiting to happen. Seems Johnson can't catch a break with match-ups every time he's given an opportunity.

It was almost working when we had exceptional defense and passable baserunning. But those flashes and the pan have regressed back to the norm.

 

I actually don't even remember the last home run a Sox player hit offhand.
