8/6 Red Sox at Royals

[vegasbob]

I was listening to a Casas interview yesterday and realized that he may be the Bill Walton of baseball.

 

Casas may be hard to live with in the next locker on a day to day basis for 8 months. Seems to be hitting the ball at WooSox. But can he move Dom Smith off the bag???

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Houston pitcher just missed a NO NO with 2 outs in the 9th against Texas. A two run homer by Seager.

Rafaela is an idiot at times. Inexperienced at baseball's subtleties

Are you saying that Casas may get Wallly Pipped? I seriously doubt it.

There's a lot of that going around in MLB. A lot of players are learning the game in the big show, instead of the minor leagues.

Twins lose, O's lose, Yanks rained out, good a doubleheader, Mariners trailing Tigers 1-0, Rays lose, Astros win. Overall a good night if the Sox can get 6 outs quick

Triston is big enough to move Dom out, but I am concerned it will take him a good while to catch up with MLB pitching, maybe not. I would not consider dropping Dom until I saw what Casas can do despite the overload of LH bats

Not having a 'real' SS can be frustrating at times.

Garcia reminding me of Eric Gagne.

[vegasbob]

You have to remember that Garcia came from the Angels , so he's not familiar with holding a lead to win the game

[FredLynn]

Pen blowing it again

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Garcia could be the SOX next Robles.

[vegasbob]

AC going for a 4 out save from Kenley ? Spin that wheel, Alex. He can do it, but we'll all be sick watching it.

[vegasbob]

Sox need 2 for old times sake in the 9th . No worries, Devers got this.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We didn't lose a Mr Anderson; we gained a Mr Garcia.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Melindez must be the most dangerous .194 batter in MLB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You can't score 9 every game. Unfortunately, when the SOX 'only' score 6, the game will usually end up a coin flip.

[Maxbialystock]

I had to do some chores, and come back to a very tight ballgame. I spoke too soon about the bullpen coming around.

 

One more out by Jansen, and another big win.

[Maxbialystock]

A 4 out save!!!!!~!!!!~!!!~

[vegasbob]

Phuking Phabulous Close by Jansen

[Tedballgame]

Janson blows Witt away. Sox win!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

That Jansen can still do that, including K'ing Witt for the last out, continues to astound me.

That was a really poor top 9th at bat. But Kenley saved them

[Maxbialystock]

Phuking Phabulous Close by Jansen

 

Indeed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great job by Kenley. Great win!

[vegasbob]

Win the series in the first 2 and a sweep is possible

[moonslav59]

That was a very satisfying win.

 

More than just "fun."

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A sweep tomorrow will give the SOX a 9-9 record since the break. Not bad considering they were 3-8 at one point.

 

Oh, yeah, the O's lost tonight. Yankems were rained out.

White Sox beating the A's 3-1 in Oakland after 6 in front of a crowd that barely qualifies as a crowd.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great job by Kenley. Great win!

 

Striking out The Natural was an excellent way to end the game.
