Rafaela hitting under .200 after the break

And over 1.000 OPS in August.

Ummmm…August is 4 days old 

[Maxbialystock]

Anthony has "mid back tightness."

Well, that's not August's fault.  It's trying to grow up.  It has every intention of being another good month for Rafaela.

You might want to talk to someone concerning your unhealthy obsession with Rafaela .

[Maxbialystock]

That changeup should be Bello's work horse.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good shut down inning.

I lied.  Everyone's heard of Bichette.  

I knew.

I'm not going to go nuts over this but Bello just is not efficient. He had 7 pitches after 2 outs in the first. He then goes ahead 0-2, which turns into a 9/10 pitch.

His pitch count is 35 after 2 innings. Not horrendous but I wished he'd focus and do something about closing out the hitters. 

He's no Crochet.

[Maxbialystock]

I have said about a thousand times Duran and Abreu can't hit lefties.  Falter had Duran on the ropes when he hit that dinger to deep CF.  

These Sox are bad.

It's Wong's fault.

They said he was at .196 since the break and he didn’t get a hit. Should be even LOWER now

No wonder Ted Williams disliked Sox fans during his playing years.

[FredLynn]

More little league ball by the Flops

[FredLynn]

Can’t walk guys with a 5 run lead 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Impressive escape by Bello. Houdini would have been proud.

I've just heard that Mayer will have season ending surgery on his wrist. Interesting that Mayer is 3 at bats away from the Sox losing one year of control.

 

So Mayer continues his history of not having great ability...availability

60 pitches after 3 innings. I've never met Bello or Williams. I doubt they give a damn in what I have to say.

Then it got worse in the 3rd, now at 60, so on pace for 5 innings to hit 100. Maybe AC will pull him at 4 2/3rds

Luckily I did meet Williams a couple of times ( not just an autograph line ).

Never met Bello and don't need to. Hate talking via an interpreter

I love Jarren Duran 

if he could see the LH sweeper and lay off, he could hit .300/.850

[FredLynn]

Gonzales boots an easy ground ball
