Yeah, I suck at typing on my phone. It is known.

 

And our offense is currently sucking. This needs to be short lived. It is known.

I like Gary Thorne. He's not too bad.

 

I don't. Think he's horrible as well as Jim Palmer. Dread O's games because that's the only tv broadcast I get. 19 games. Way too much!

I watch YES for Yankees games because the Sox always seem to win.

Our offense often does not look "impressive" But Norris is up to 39 pitches in two innings and we don't even have a hit yet.

 

This is a tense way to generate offense. It is the way they have to play to win though. It is not comfortable nor is it comforting which makes it that much more remarkable that the Sox have remained so disciplined all season to this point. This is the sort of discipline we are used to seeing from the Rays but not the Sox. I would not have believed the Sox would have played this way unless I had seen it with my own eyes regardless of whether it was in their best interests or not. But there is no question in my mind that this is how they have to play it.

Roberts almost seemed to take it personally that the Sox were trying to control him on the base paths. Stupid play on his part.

Lackey doesn't have a good fastball tonight or command of other pitches.

 

They need to give him some offense/run support. Hopefully he'll settle in.

Does anyone else hate it when players are benched for disciplinary reasons like puig was?

 

It always felt like old, uptight white guy outrage at not respecting the game.

Lackey just let up a tad when Roberts removed himself from the base paths and John paid for it. Leaving pitches in bad spots to RH hitters in this park usually turns into some sort of number going up on the scoreboard.

I have no problem with it. Playing like you don't give a s*** shouldn't happen. Especially if you're a rookie. It just makes you look like a douche who doesn't care whether his team wins or loses unless he's the one hitting. And by extension, it makes your team look bad.
