If Duvall gets hot he can carry the team

 

We have a lot of players we can say that about- all with somewhat recent white hot streaks- some rather long.

[moonslav59]

Duvall surprises; Story does not.

 

He's saving his dinger for when 3 men are on base.

[FredLynn]

They give him a three spot and Paxton puts the first two on. The mistake was walking Bregman

[FredLynn]

Make that three on. The Sox are beating themselves.

[vegasbob]

f***ing 2 errors in a messed up inning

[FredLynn]

Beating themselves-again. Very hard to watch when they play like this.

[moonslav59]

Paxton needs to get 6 outs, this inning. Hopefully, not more.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ground balls toward Devers is drama at its best.

[moonslav59]

Someone needs to go back and count all the "non-error" hits this team has handed the opps. I'm pretty sure, it's over 1 every 2 games at least.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

They're calling that error on Devers a base hit. What a joke. Seen a lot of errors called hits this season.

[vegasbob]

Chance to blow Javier and Houston out of this one

If true, it would trend towards a 200 "misplay" season. Or an additional 30 +- innings pitched, more than 3 complete games

[FredLynn]

Very sloppy game. Typical of a non playoff team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does crossing one time zone cause jet lag? SOX playing like a jet lagged team.

[moonslav59]

3 is not going to be enough.

[d-money]

Paxton looks terrible.

[FredLynn]

Paxton sucks. We should have traded him when other teams might have given us something more than a bag of golf balls for him.

Meanwhile Yoshida makes his contribution to the circus.

[a700hitter]

I think the Yankee series lulled them into thinking that they are a good team.

[d-money]

Try throwing a strike Paxton.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can't help but wonder if Paxton is wearing down as his starts pile up.

[moonslav59]

This is why even simple stats like BA are not even accurate.

 

The run is charged vs Paxton, who somehow managed to get 6 outs that inning.

[FredLynn]

3 is not going to be enough.

 

Six isn’t going to be enough

[Tedballgame]

Sox D is so bad.

[a700hitter]

Raffy is a DH

[d-money]

Pure garbage from this guy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Where the hell do you think the SOX would be right now if they didn't have Paxton. Btw, the word 'sucks' loses all meaning when it's used hundreds of times and mostly used incorrectly.

[FredLynn]

Devers chokes again. Call it a base hit but Devers should have made that play. Casas allows a ball to get threw him too. I’ve seen little league teams play better defense.

[vegasbob]

Paxton does not have it tonight, will be out before the 5th. Yoshida is a hot mess in LF .

[d-money]

Can't help but wonder if Paxton is wearing down as his starts pile up.

 

Wearing down how?

[d-money]

Clown performance from this guy. Idk if i want this guy back. Maybe they should traded him.
