7/27 vs Twins

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Last night the SOX faced a quality starter; Lynn, with a 5.43ERA is not a quality starter.

Lance Lynn fell short of a quality start on June 20 but still walked away with a win:

It’s embarrassing the way this team’s playing right now against the twinkies.

[d-money]

Come on sale geez!!!

[d-money]

It would be nice if sale threw strikes

[vegasbob]

Lots of wasted pitches in that inning but no score for Twins

[d-money]

Can we hit Cy Lynn?

[fxkatt]

It would be nice if sale threw strikes

 

Sale was about to get out of the inning with 53 pitches... ended up getting out alright but with 73 pitches. Get that bull pen ready.

[Hitch]

The all star break came at the absolute worst time for us.

[d-money]

Offense looks lost.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox can't hit, simple as that. Last night and again tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Over/under. Winning percentage at end of season .667.

[Station 13]

Offense in a funk. Mookie is the guy that is so critical to the offense. He gets going so go the Sox.

Over/under. Winning percentage at end of season .667.

 

Under, maybe .650 , 105 wins

I say over by a hair. But that may not be enough. If we blow this game, the Yanks (rained out) will be 2 out in the loss column.

Jackie Bradley Boomer!

[vegasbob]

Bottom of the lineup comes through. Good hitting by Nunez, Leon and Bradley's blast

[cp176]

say it ain't so Jackie boy! let's go

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In my years of following the SOX I think it's safe to say that Sale is the best LH I've ever seen pitch for Boston. I also believe it's safe to say he's the best LH pitcher in baseball.

The top of the Sox order suddenly appears toothless, especially Betts and Moreland. Snap out of it guys and start producing runs. Lynn was throwing 92 mph four seamers and slightly slower two seamers with an ocassional slider. Sale deserves more support.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know the SOX are trying to reduce Sale's innings this year, but trying to get 3 innings with this BP is buckle up your seat belts time.

[Tedballgame]

What a fiasco that was.

[Tedballgame]

Looks like the BP is about to blow another Sale win.

[vegasbob]

What a fiasco that was.

 

A single away from blowing Sale's effort. Top of the lineup through Bogaerts is asleep

[Tedballgame]

The defense with Nunez and Pearce on the right side is horrible.

And not one ball hit hard at all. Better come up with a DP

[Tedballgame]

Pearce should have never have tried for that ball.

[RichGarces2015]

They spin a roulette wheel in the dugout and who it lands on is comes out of the BP.

[Tedballgame]

I take back what I just said about Pearce! Wow!

[oldtimer]

Any doubt we need a full time second baseman?
