You don’t build winning teams with average players. 

I never said that.

You don't get any cred for saying average players suck, and Rafaela is not average, either.

I just don't get the need/desire or whatever motivation it is to lie like that. I never have.

Good start to the seventh

[iortiz]

This hit by Story would have helped more a couple of innings ago. 
 

 

[FredLynn]

Wow

22 LOBSTERS in 15 innings

[Tedballgame]

Lowe!!!!

[iortiz]

Lowe has been a very pleasant pick up this far. 

[FredLynn]

I was wrong

The flops did take the lead! And I’m a better man for it

[illinoisredsox]

Is Lowe allowed to do the airplane thing, or is he not allowed because he wasn’t on the flight?

[Tedballgame]

Good AB  by Yoshida. Moved the runner.

After the game. They definitely have “the players”….like Rafaela, Narvaez, Wong, Hamilton etc. unfortunately too many of them aren’t any good.

Here are the ones I think are truly contributing this season--Bregman, Anthony, Story, Gonzalez, Narvaez, Duran, Rafaela, Abreu, Ref--and Crochet, Chapman, Bello, Giolito, Chapman, Whitlock, Wilson (but not tonight), and Bernardino.  That's 17 out of 26.  I also think Wong contributes as an excellent backup catcher and despite his rotten OPS this season.  His CERA is better than Narvaez's. 

I would love to add Dobbins and Mayer, but they didn't play enough.  Latecomer May has an ERA of 2.87 in 3 starts so far.    Lowe is also a latecomer who just batted in the go ahead run with a double.  His 3 game Sox OPS is well over 1.000.  

So, if you give me May and Love to add to my list because both look awfully good so far, that's 19 total

Same pattern, over and over.

[FredLynn]

One run lead isn’t going to win this

Great question.

[illinoisredsox]

Narvaez seems to be trying to pull the ball more; when he was going well, he had a lot of oppo hits.

[iortiz]

Bases load again and they can’t score lol

 

this is getting beyond ridiculous.

Narvaez is on my suck list

Weissert is far from sucking. Dobbins & Slaten, too.

The Sox have got to stop loading the bases. Problem solved.

 

[iortiz]

This LvsR Cora’s obsession has to come to an end at both sides of the plate. 

[FredLynn]

The M&Ms are on my suck list too

Rice has been a PITA against the Sox since he came up.  He’s starting to remind me of Gardner.

Ya mean Penis Head?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Goldschmidt has turned into Coalschmidt.

[illinoisredsox]

Good job by Matz there, though he did get away with one to Chisholm.

Yeah.  Gardner always seemed to come up with hits at the most inopportune time.

I don''t think so either, but I like what Weissert and Matz have done.

Some players age faster than others.

[Maxbialystock]

Yankees' Hill totally screwed by the ump.  Awful  Single for Bregman to lead off 8th.  

[moonslav59]

The Yanks just pulled a Sox!
