Chapman and Slaten haven't thrown since last week?

you can bet your ass that if we're ahead and we allow a couple of base runners, Tracy will put Uber Driver Wiessert in to give up the lead.

 

and that's before yesterday. 🔽

That will keep both fresh for the PO's.

LOL.

Kinda need close games for Chapman to pitch.

Close games where the Sox miraculously have the lead.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Without fragile Whitlock the Sox starters now have to complete 7 innings.

[jad]

Shoulda opened with Chapman

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox are 5-23 when the opponent scores first.

Isn't that special?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This should take the pressure off of Bello.

[vegasbob]

Not only is Bellboy incapable of starting a game but he forces a reliever into that role.

Moran and now Sam-man show that strategy does not work. 

But it starts with Bello who needs help

4-0,for those scoring

He could of used the work.

[a700hitter]

What a joke!  Get a starter who can take the bump in the 1st inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Chad asked the catcher how was the pitcher's stuff? The catcher replied I don't really know; I hardly caught any of his pitches.

The comedy writes itself.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe the Sox lead MLB in runners thrown out at home. Another feather in their cap.

[jad]

Wow.  Not only new ways of losing, but new ways of ending an inning.  Don't believe I've ever seen one end like that.

[illinoisredsox]

Killer in the first was the 2nd hit with an exit velocity of less than 40 mph.

[jad]

Look at the positives:  very unlikely Bello gets  a loss tonight!

You know the old cliche. It'll look like a line drive in the box score.

[alsoason]

The Indians light them up in the 1st. Lots of late May looking like late April, we are one month closer to NFL Week 1 Lots of scoring early tonight around baseball We see, the hapless Soxx we are.

Yep.  Several Wee Willie Keeler hits that inning.

I'm guessing that extra 'x' means the Sox are extra bad.

[illinoisredsox]

Maybe we could just forfeit every 5th game.  The opener thing has been a disaster.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mayer didn't bunt that quite hard enough.

[illinoisredsox]

Their 30 mph rope goes for a hit.  Ours is an easy out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Kerwood Durbin.

[alsoason]

yeah these Soxx are extra ugly in defeat, it all has whiff of an early 60's team which reminds me of Arnold Early, Connally he was not,

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Cleveland rag arm has an ERA  of 5.18. But as the Sox have proven any ERA can stop their pathetic offense.
