Pathetic to give up so many homers to this team

Shocked that Q is struggling in the 6th again

Pathetic to give up so many homers to this team

 

Recently the Braves were on pace for something like 60 HR as a team this year. They have hit...what...6 so far in 1 1/2 games?

Sox need to get a better hitter in that three spot.

 

Abreu needs to get really hot in the 2nd half . That slugging percentage is way below his career average.

Very nice little spin slide deep in the 1B hole to make the play.

I'm getting tired of watching him spoil Eaton's great jumps.

Only chance for Sox to make a second half run is if he's an all-star caliber player and not below replacement level

Our two best pitchers pitching like s*** against the Braves. Woof

Going to need more than 5 to win this today.

Both with huge ERAs over last 9 starts or so

It's very disappointing for sure.

How much longer will this lead hold

We HAVE to start stealing on these guys....they are giving away free doubles and we aren't taking them.

Big inning here. Hoping Quintana can have a scoreless inning. Then Jones & Robertson for the final 2.

Rally time.

Duke has been great lately.

TA bad AB

Really could use those runs.. terrible AB by TA

So sick of this over and over

What a truly pathetic display....smh

2nd best pitcher in the American league this season.

 

WHAT A MEDIOCRE PLAYER.

According to what, WAR? Why don't you look at a freaking game log? You know, something blatantly objective that actually matters?

 

Nolan Ryan defines a high quality start (HQS) as 7+ IP, 3 runs or less. So (including today, since Quintana will not have a QS or HQS with Freeman's bomb)...

 

Jose Quintana- 18 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS (67% and 44% respectively)

Steven Wright- 17 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS (71%, 47%, also Wright's ERA starting today was .38 lower, and he has 3 CGs, averaging slightly more IP/GS than Quintana)

Danny Salazar- 16 GS, 9 QS, 6 HQS (56%, 38%, dude does not go deep in games)

Cole Hamels- 18 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS

Masahiro Tanaka- 17 GS, 10 QS, 7 HQS (59%, 41%)

Corey Kluber- 18 GS, 10 QS, 9 HQS (56%, 50%)

Chris Sale- 18 GS, 12 QS, 12 HQS (67%, 67%)

Marco Estrada- 16 GS, 12 QS, 6 HQS (75%, 38%)

Aaron Sanchez- 17 GS, 14 QS, 9 HQS (82%, 53%)

JA Happ- 18 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS

 

This was the first time I've compared so many pitchers this year. Q is clearly up there, but he's by no means the second best pitcher in the AL. Sanchez has been surprisingly dominant in his starts and yet fWAR places him .7 below Q. What gives?

 

F'N Sox baseball 101.................time for Atlanta to score now.

Trademark Ventura ball right there.

Oh, boy

Aaron Sanchez replaces Craig Kimbrel on the All-Star team
