And Abreu can hit but is not a great hitter

Right now there's no great hitters on the Sox.

Contreras is the best hitter on this team and he is a good hitter, not great.

You mean tonight or the entire season, so far? I know it's a very high number.

Gray is clearly in decline.  For the past decade, his calling card was “you better swing because I’m not going to walk you.”  This year his walks are way up…

2.25 per 9.

We are #15 out of 30 in total LOB.

Just checked. The Sox are ranked 16th in LOB. They average 7.11 runners per 9 innings.

There's really a lot of mediocre teams in MLB so far this season.

Unlike the Sox batters.

Very good job by Gray tonight. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great defense from the Sox OF, which we have come to expect.

This game is not over.

Kelly stinks

Kelly needs to go asap. Bring Gamboa back

The average MLB team is pretty average.  But that's the wrong take-away from the LOB number.

Does Durbin actually have a launch angle? It appears to be a negative angle.

The next time Durbin goes fishing I hope the worms get their revenge.

According to the Tigers' booth, in the history of their franchise the Sox have never scored 4 runs with 4 hits and 14 strike outs or more.

Saw some history tonight.

Nice win, and no need for Chapman.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

May the Soxth be with you.
