Pretty good when your 5th starter has only given up 10 runs in 5 starts and already has 9 K's tonight in the 7th.

 

 

Not sure how Hahn thinks this lineup can compete

7 strong from Bauer. Now they'll get one and shut the Sox down the last two. Typical Q.

Lawrie and his K's are really starting to irk me.

Lawrie has absolutely no chance against a high fastball. He's an automatic out if a pitcher throws that to him with two strikes.

Bauer over 100 pitches and Sox can't touch him.

They can't. But an argument can be made the coaching staff isn't getting the most out of them. I'm certainly not going to use an Austin Jackson injury as an excuse to lose.

He knows he has to make a move or two. Just early in the deadline process.

A lot of automatic outs

i don't know how Quintana can keep his mouth shut about his team not scoring for him. he must be a saint.

Gonna be too far behind for it to matter if this road trip goes poorly

Stellar offensive effort so far.

 

Abreu: Can we please stop with the "he is so close to breaking out." How long we going with that narrative. He isn't.

 

Frazier: .202. Two ticks from mendoza. And if you look at defensive stats, he's cost us something like 6 runs with his over-rated play at 3b. I'd rather have Trayce with a future than Frazier on the decline. Easy to say the Sox curse again with the lowe average acquisition but the guy hit about this level the second half last year so we just bought him too late. Same with Shields apparently.

 

Lawrie after a good start .232 and insane amount of K's to go with declining walk rate.

 

Team needs 3-4 bats. 2-3 relievers.

 

And if someone can play D that'd be great. Ajax also scores below average on D statistically. Couple that with 0 power. The fact he's a loss at all says everything about this team.

I'm not worried. Jerry Reinsdorf assured Bruce Levine the other day that he had no plans for anything but a "full on attack to help his front office find a way to win now". So we are in good hands, nothing to worry about. Just sit back and let the magic happen!

Nice job, Jose. Too bad the offense sucks.

It's time. Bauer out, Shaw in, top of the order. Let's do this.

Need a triple from Anderson against the outside cutter

Great swing there. Don't bunt!!

Anderson looks damn good

Leadoff single TA

Not a good effort by Eaton

1st major league steal for Anderson.

 

Do they get the base after the game is over? They're pretty expensive and a lot heavier than you'd think.

Shaw has really been struggling recently, velocity is up but lacking in command/stuff.

 

Making more mistakes over the plate.

Notice Hawk doesn't say anything about the first pitch to Abreu.

Abreu .260, weak with RISP. No D, no speed. Decent power. No walk ability.
