5/22 @ Toronto

[TylerD]

In every start it seems like he gives one up.

 

He’s solid and gives us 6 plus innings but unfortunately you can usually count on him giving up at least one dinger per start. He did even in his CY young season. Not every game but did a fair amount if I recall. As long as the Sox bats remotely show up it should be fine

[TylerD]

Jesus his ump is horribly bad. Ball is at his f***ing ankles and it’s a strike lmao.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Leon definitely deserves to bat behind JBJ. Cannot say that about too many batters in MLB.

As for Beni keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed.

[d-money]

Our offense has been terrible lately.

Benentendi, with lower power #'s this year looks a lot more like a #6 or #7 hitter than leadoff. A .420 SLG % is low among the top 6 or 7 RS regulars and the .355 OBP is about the same.

[d-money]

Score some runs!!!!

[vegasbob]

Porcello with 66 pitches through 5, could go deep (8th) if he can avoid the Porcellos.

[TylerD]

Guess we got all our runs in game 1. Runs are hard to come by last two games.

[FredLynn]

Two runs is not going to win this game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

HP umpiring has been so bad for so long I actually look forward to them getting hit by a foul ball.

[d-money]

This offense is terrible.

Because Betts failed so miserably as a lead-off hitter last year, King Kora felt a change was needed.

Wonder when Jays' fans will start referring to Vlad, Jr as The Panda?

[Thunder]

Hey y'all

[d-money]

Give this guy some damn runs! Let’s go!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Getting the Toronto feed and they've shown that Vlad HR about 20 times already. But, then, what else do they have?

[Maxbialystock]

Porcello has pitched on heckuva game. 1 run in 6 innings and when we needed it.

 

Meanwhile the lineup is just so-so.

[vegasbob]

JBJr is officially hot . He completely gets jammed , but makes a double out of it.

I'd go with luke warm.

I would love the Toronto feed. Dan Shulman is one of my favorite voices in sports

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's mind boggling to think any team could have pitching so bad to allow this Toronto team to score 10 runs.

[vegasbob]

The killer instinct has been missing most of this season. Scoring key runs late in the game, without HR's. Glad to get the one more , but it was time for a 2 or 3 run double right there

[Thunder]

Remember that BS game in our home opener? They had 8 runs, most of them coming off small ball and groundballs through the infield

[vegasbob]

I don't think Rick P will be happy to be pulled after 6 and 80 pitches, from his personal perspective. AC is looking to nail the win and avoid the late Porcello ball.

[d-money]

Here comes the bullpen.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rick may not be the Ace of the SOX starting staff, but he's definitely the Iron Man. Good job by him tonight.

Definitely so. Deserves a win here and the team needs it.

7th inning hasn't been kind to most SOX starters.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

WTF! Workman is one of the 3 relievers I have even a little faith in.

[vegasbob]

Always amazed at 2 out hitting. Workman gets 2 outs and a 1-2 count on Galvis with just 9 pitches. Now 2nd and 3rd after another 2 strike count, still 2 out. Workman turns it into a pressure situation. Now a 4 pitch walk to load the bases. When a reliever gets up to 20 or more pitches, really bad things happen.
