7/12 vs Royals

[notin]

Not surprising. I will not point and laugh at those that wanted to keep Wingenter close to Bailey. He'll be fine down in WOO as well.

 

When Wingenter comes back, he’s gonna be looking for you…

The Sale trade is looking better and better for Atlanta, but, OTOH, where would the SOX be w/o Grissom?

The Braves got Cy Young and we got sigh.

Are they gonna lay a damn egg against th royals? Come on man.

[d-money]

Yankees and orioles are facing each other. You have to take advantage at home against a team you should beat.

[d-money]

They might need those bats tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It could have been a lot worse.

SOX should beat? KC's record is pretty close to the SOX.

[d-money]

We need this pitcher to be good and give us some shutout innings.

[d-money]

Would be nice if this guy threw strikes. The starting pitching is a huge problem for this team.

[d-money]

Nice pitching lol

[d-money]

This game might be over before it even began.

[d-money]

A team that’s 5-5 in their last 10 games. This game is dreadful

[d-money]

Get this bum out of the game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A good starter coming from the SOX farm is more rare than finding a pearl in an oyster. Really pathetic.

The joke is on us. We are without Grissom, and he doesn't give a damn.

They just won their last 3

[vegasbob]

Too bad Criswell didn't pitch for WooSox last night. Too bad he gets to throw in Fenway tonight.

[d-money]

Can’t get a big inning going.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too bad Criswell didn't pitch for WooSox last night. Too bad he gets to throw in Fenway tonight.

 

He may Cris well, but he doesn't pitch well.

[d-money]

They just won their last 3

 

Still the sox are 8-2 in their last 10 games. This is unacceptable at home. The royals are better at home.

[d-money]

The fact that this guy’s still in the game speaks volumes about the starting staff.

[d-money]

Have to chip away at this lead. Get a run here and there.

[vegasbob]

He may Cris well, but he doesn't pitch well.

 

Walks the #9 hitter twice so far. Lucky they didn't drop a bomb on him with the sacks full. The walk coming after 2 straight 2 out hits

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

KC's a team with good starting pitching, an above average offense, and a good defense (they have 24 fewer errors than the SOX). My question is why are they only 8 games above .500? Must be their BP, maybe?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe Masa should have stayed at DH tonight. O'Neill is a strike out machine.

Because they’re under 500 on the road. Sox have a bad habit of losing to teams they should beat. They’re 31-18 at home. Sox meanwhile have a lousy home record.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Criswell is asking himself "what do I have to do to get taken out?"

[vegasbob]

Looking at the schedule after the A-S break, there are 21 series, usually but not always 3 games, with 11 of those vs team at or above .500. If you add in TB Rays who are 46-47, then 13 of 21 series will feature teams at .500 or above.

 

The not quite "second half" starts with a western roadtrip with 3 vs Dodgers, then 3 vs Rockies .

 

That trip lets Breslow scout our favorite trading partner in person, or was Freidman just Bloom's mentor ?

[d-money]

What a miserable game. I wonder if this team will actually make any moves at the trade deadline. Idk if they can overcome how bad they’re at home.
