Hope we don't get back to the top of the lineup being no hit by Littell, a lesser skilled thrower.

David H and Cedanne, it is up to you, buds

Luv ya' Hammie

Nice little cheapie there by Hamilton!

The at bats have been uninspiring

Not what I meant. Only a HR here and the Bronx

[Thunder]

Alrighty, we're scoring first and getting decent pitching! Baby steps y'all

I'm bummed tax season is over. Now I get to be embarrassed by you every night I choose to grace you all with my presence 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good D by Story.

[Thunder]

Newcomb's a pretty decent pitcher when we don't make 5 errors behind him

Right park, wrong inning & situation.  Solo vs GS

[vegasbob]

I will gladly take 4 shutout innings by Sean Newcomb any day . The bats simply must get better , especially with Bregman nursing the baby.

[mvp 78]

LOL Rays

[vegasbob]

Credit to Duran for running hard on a simple pop fly to right that......fell in for a double

Not every player does that.

But couldn't take the luck, and naturally Devers gets a hit behind him.. 

[mvp 78]

LOL Duran

I’m not on here every night. I have girls softball to attend.

I won't be either. I still have my Pirates season tickets, as masochistic as that may be

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No reason to throw anything but fastballs to Nevers. He swung late on a 92 mph one .

I heard Skenes today say that they were trying to make the playoffs very much this year.  Interviewer asked if Skenes could pitch every other day.

High in the strike zone and you own him.

I don't think they are as bad as their record indicates at the moment. Their offense has been even more anemic than ours, and the weather here has been quite bad for most home games. Neither one of those trends will last.

NL Central is very mediocre this year, other than the Cubs. They can even the ship. Whether they do or not remains to be seen

[vegasbob]

Narvaez lives up to his rep as no hit.  

Sox really are duplicating 2024 in the sense of K's and leaving men on base.  

Recipe for an unlucky loss.    But when you have a 1-0 lead, all you need is a shutout to win.

[vegasbob]

Seeing Danny Jansen playing for Tampa Bay, reminds me how he was a trade deadline acquisition last year , in return for 3 really young prospects.   The Sox were about 7  games over .500 at the deadline., and  thinking they would be competitive.

Over their final 60+- games they played to a negative 6 and went home.  So i hope the 3 players given for Jansen were not part of a grand plan to rebuild the farm system

[vegasbob]

Great pitching by Newcomb, Weissert and Whitlock to get 24 outs with no runs.   No excuses, if the offense cannot get some insurance.  Slaten will need to be lights out in 9th to win a series where the Sox  score  1 run twice. Bregman  had 4 rbi's by himself yesterday.

[Jasonbay44]

Game is 1-0 on a David Hamilton solo shot and Sean Newcomb shut out? What in the hell did I come home to see happening

[vegasbob]

Not much luck or breaks on the hitting side either to help.   Narvaez crushes one to the deepest CF and a great running catch robs him.   

It's 1-0 or whatever.
