Kelly warming up to make sure the bums don’t stumble into an undeserved win

Back to back HR's would give me the fits.

The first one was on a 0-2 count.

No doubt.  I, on the other hand, would celebrate because I not only got the ball to the plate, but somewhere near the strike zone.  

[FredLynn]

I won’t be sorry to see Duran go

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fitts can join the traffic jam of # 5 starters in the Sox rotation 

[FredLynn]

Duran Ks on a ball a foot outside.

No one has a clue about plate discipline.

No doubt.  But I expected worse today.

That shouldn't be surprising at this point in the season.

Cheer up

Five more chances for the Angels 

The result is already etched in stone. 
Flops lose

Ever heard of JDM?  He was always a sucker for righty's slider outside the zone.  

Plate discipline carries the wrong connotation when a player must decided in microseconds whether or not to swing.   Once the batter swings, there's the small matter of hitting a round ball with a round bat squarely.

I'm not happy with Duran's K's and in fact think he's expendable.

Winning run on 2B now

Looks to me as though he's got good stuff and command.   His ERA coming in was 2.88.

Some swinging at balls outside the zone is understandable. But these disgusting bums have made a science of it.

Can’t take much more of watching these bums.

Such an easy team to HATE

[FredLynn]

YESSSS!

Go Angels!!!

[FredLynn]

Outta here

Enjoy the loss!

BOOOOOOOOOO!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Crochet and Chapman are the Sox two best players.

Both deserve to be on a better team.

Bullpen is broken.  Fitts, as bad as he is/was, gave up 2 runs in 4 IP.  Guerrero gave up 2 runs in 2 outs and left 2 runners on.  

[Tedballgame]

This team is so hard to watch. No leadership from players or management. Horrible at fundamentals. No power. Terrible fielding. Horrible baserunning. Might as well trade anything of value outside of young guys and Crochet. Fire Cora and Breslow. Get a new owner who cares about the team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One can't fire the whole team, so good-bye Cora.

Only kidding, No one is held accountable for the disgusting performance of this team.

[Tedballgame]

Sack Kelly can't get out of the inning.
