Get Isaiah loose. This is major trouble 

The art of bunting was lost when MLB banned "pepper" on the side before games. It was a master class in eye - hand coordination 

It took away from weight room time.

2 runs in 4 innings not bad for May. Offense needs to show up .

Too late for that

Looks like he held that mess to 1 run scored in that inning.  Decent job getting out of it.

It may not matter the way Roger’s is throwing tonight, but the game didn’t get away.

I thought you were referring to the lead. May did a good job after the run but he can’t afford to surrender any more.

Wasted the lead off single

What happened to launch angle ?

Roger's is eating the Sox sack of lunch.

The Jimmy Fund. Teddy Ballgame's greatest accomplishment as a human being.

With a 1.47 ERA on the season, he’s done this to a lot of teams this year.

Ted didn’t start it; it started with the Braves in 1948.  Sox took over the partnership when the Braves left town and Ted certainly did more than his share to make it grow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Defense, the underrated part of baseball.

[Tedballgame]

Cedanne should win a gold glove this year

If money could cure cancer , then people like Henry and Werner could fund $5million each annually. perhaps they do.

Rumor has it that Ted,s frozen noggin is actively soliciting donations this couple of days

Ted spent many unpublicized hours at the children's hospital. Williams was one of the most unique individuals of his time.

At 2B or CF ?  More seriously,  no CBO since Pedroia got hurt has solved the 2B problem.  Still not solved. but a waste for Rafaela to have to fill in there

Youre a jackass

Let’s get into a name calling contest! Remember-you started it.

[vegasbob]

If the Sox drop this one to O's kiddie lineup , then the loss to Marlins yesterday hurts all the more

Rafaela belongs in CF permanently-if he can improve his hitting.

[vegasbob]

See if May can get through 6 . It would be a good effort at 2 runs but his mates are hitless wonders

Most of the team is slumping, returning to their career numbers. Offense is going to be the problem moving forward 

[Nineintime]

I think the Sox pitching staff must lead the league with two out walks.  Just pure lack of focus.

Hey genius, did you ever hear of a CF named Paul Blair? Played for a very good O's team for years. Considered by many as the best defensive CF of all time. Why don't you take a minute and check out his offensive stats.

Agree.  No continuity

Fully agree. and have seen it over the past few weeks. The big 14 run games are stat padders not hitting expertise 

[FredLynn]

All in all a nice outing by May. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice job by May. He definitely settled down after a jumpy start. He showed me something tonight.
