[Maxbialystock]

Nunez

Benintendi

Ramirez

Young

Bogaerts

Devers

Leon

Bradley

 

I know the AL East isn't in the bag, but I also,track the Inidians--we are 3 games ahead of them--and the Astros, who are 4 1/2 ahead of us.

[Kimmi]

Baseball is a funny game, but I like our chances with Sale on the mound.

 

I hope we score early and often against Sabathia.

 

Let's go!!!

[Station 13]

Maxbialystock awesome job, we need a series win right here.

[Station 13]

Ump show

[cp176]

His our boy getting squeezed here or what? Shrink that plate up mf - won't make any difference.

[Maxbialystock]

OK, the fix is on. I have never seen such one-sided calls as we are seeing tonight. Sale gets no corners. Sabathia gets an outside pitch called a strike--well outside.

[Bellhorn04]

Brutal start by this ump.

[Station 13]

Nunez got rung up on a pitch a foot outside

[Maxbialystock]

Do the Sox have a book that say bunting against Sabathia pays off? That might be, but our guys are terrible bunters.

[Station 13]

Stupid bunt

[royplayer]

Will we finally score some runs off this fat ass.

[Station 13]

BTW it seems like without Pedroia, we don't work pitcher counts anymore.

[d-money]

Need to keep the ball down. Gotta hit sabathia

[d-money]

Sale a little wild there.

[d-money]

Ughhh not a good start there by sale.

[Thunder]

DFA Sale

[d-money]

Our offense will have to score runs tonight.

[jacksonianmarch]

Austin is a good hitter. He just cannot stay healthy

[Station 13]

Austin is a good hitter. He just cannot stay healthy

 

Good, refer him to a Miami clinic.

[Station 13]

Young needs to show why he is still here.

[Thunder]

Young needs to show why he is still here.

 

I think he just needs more playing time

[Maxbialystock]

Young continues to look helpless against lefties and HanRam not much better. Both were hitless last night. So was Betts.

[OH FOY]

Last time we faced CC in NY he gave us fits too.

[Station 13]

I think he just needs more playing time

 

He does not.

[d-money]

Can't keep up anymore. Need sale to throw up 0s

[Station 13]

Last time we faced CC in NY he gave us fits too.

 

That was with Holt, Sandoval, Rutledge, Marrero combination in the lineup.

[Maxbialystock]

After 2 innings, Sale has thrown 41 pitches and Sabathia 16.

[Thunder]

Last time we faced CC in NY he gave us fits too.

 

And there was the first leg of the doubleheader in July, but that was also when we were in the midst of that hapless RISP drought
