Wong good behind the plate.
Actually, Wong great behind the plate.
Whoever called the 3 straight sliders, all out of the strike zone, is a genius.

Another quality start by Sale. Two mistakes to the Padres' two best hitters.
Yep. 6 innings, 2 runs.Originally Posted by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
Well this game is far from over. Hope they can tack a run or two.
Need the good bullpen tonight.
Good 'D' by Kike tonight.
He's almost got his ERA below 5.00. Gotta love the groove he's found.
We needed this.

Scary ending, but ... NICE!

Ugly, but a save.
He has really been okay since those first 6 or 8 games- whatever it was.

Despite losing 4 in a row and 6 of 7 in early May, the Sox have still managed to win 13 out of the last 19, since the end of April.
It will be hard to keep up this pace, but we can hope...
Hey, right now, we have the 7th best record in MLB and are very close to 3rd through 6th, but we are not too far from 13th to 15th, either.

I was surprised to see Sale came out, and pitched the 7th last night, but another 100+ pitches, so I think we can say this Sale is pretty much back. I see Jansen got the save, but 2 BB, so Jansen seems to be a little concerning going forward.
this team played a good baseball game and a pleasure to watch, move Casas out of that slot and put someone who can get on base more, I would flip flop him with Tapia who does more when he gets on, Sale is back sooner than expected a big plus
Good on the game and Sale.
I long ago decided not to challenge Cora's lineups. Casas's OBP in May is .365 and his OPS is .864. Tapia is the the 5th outfielder after Dugo, Duran, Yoshida, and Refsnyder.
Excellent overview, as always.
Somewhere on posted on Talksox that, with the emergence of not only Sale, but Paxton and Bello (who needs better command), the Sox have three pretty good starters and are backed up by more so-so starters and a pretty good bullpen. So I think the immediate future of Sox pitching looks pretty good--and with it the immediate future of the team.
