And that is why Rafaela should always play CF

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rafaela, just another day in CF.

Do not make the mistake of confusing Wilson with an effective relief pitcher.

Do not confuse CF Rafaela with being a 2Bman when he can save more hits/runs in the OF

[Duran Is The Man]

nice job by Gio. s***** job by Wilson.

Wilson has been pretty effective. I think I heard the Flops have the top pen in the game though I can’t remember the time period looked at

[Nick]

Cora keeps saying we need Yoshida. What the hell is he talking about?

We have 9 guys hitting over .700, including 5 over .800 (Bregman over .900). We have two more guys, Story and Mayer that should be hitting over .700.

Why do we need Yoshida? We got million DH's. He needs to sayonara back to Nihon and catch some rays.

Wilson has been in 40 games with an ERA of 2.18 before this game

Those are good numbers, but he was awesome as a volleyball.

Ryne Sandberg died today. He was 65. Excellent ballplayer. R I P.

I'm getting the Twins' feed. They made it sound like today. Well, he was still an excellent ballplayer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bang Bang play. My baby shot me down.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It appears the Sox are over the turbulence issue.

Thanks for the update.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good to see Mr Cala again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Might want to bring in Chapman.

[vegasbob]

I was wrong to accuse the highly effective Mr. Wilson of being ineffective, when all the time I was actually referring to his close friend Mr. Alcala .

What if this game had actually been a 1 or 2 run affair.  These meatballs giving up multi-run HRs  are  why we need BP help

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Castro has been one of the Sox stars tonight.

[iortiz]

Alcalá should be DFAed tonight. Please tell me we have better arms in the farm. Please!

Story's error didn't help, but Mr Cala still sux.

They do, but they're not fully cooked yet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What a difference a Chapman makes.

[Tedballgame]

Nice win tonight. Team showed some grit after last night's devastating loss.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't want to go to jail, so I hope I never meet whomever programmed this GT.

Last night was a turbulent loss.

[Tedballgame]

Don't look now but Quinn Priester is 10-2 for Milwaukee. Don't know why Breslow traded him.

[Tedballgame]

Campbell homered tonight for Worcester. After a real slow start after being sent down, he is up to .267 and is playing first base. He will be back up soon I think.

If Breslow tried to explain why, it would just be a word salad. Most likely you'd be asleep before he finished.

Thanks more to Yoshida, who now officially stinks, than to Rafaela's superb defense.

Tonight the lefty DH was Anthony, who is a ton better than Yoshida, so the outfield was Duran, Rafaela, and Abreu.  With Rafaela in CF, Hamilton was at 2b.  

Sox OPS's vs. righty pitchers:   Anthony .945, Bregman .897, Duran .868, Abreu .842, Toro .763, Rafaela .756, Mayer .739, Narvaez .724, Story .680, Ref .669, Gonzalez .659, Hamilton .500, Yoshida .457, and Wong .377.
