It's sneak away day for the Sox.

[vegasbob]

Duran leadoff K followed by Rafaela 3 pitch K followed by Abreu's K tells a story. Rasmussen uses about 12 pitches to wipe out the Sox 1st inning.

I know Drew is good but are the Sox that bad ?

[mvp 78]

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unlike Bello, Bennett has kept the Sox in the game after the 1st inning.

HaHa, I was thinking the same when I read this, I don't remember Yaz ever missing a game because he slept on an uncomfortable bed

maybe its me but if I am essentially an unproven rookie getting his chance at what I have been preparing for my entire life, it would take a broken limb to get me out of the lineup but this is 2026

[vegasbob]

Gasper breaks the K string at 4 with a soft liner to zSS

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least he didn't die at 2nd.

Double

Sac Bunt

Sac Fly

What is this black magic? Can the Sox learn it? 

[vegasbob]

Now very close to Game Over, as #9 hitter again drives in the run on a sac fly.

[vegasbob]

Bennett and Early are not big arm K guys, so hitters can get contact which is how a team can create runs magically

[mvp 78]

Duran had a 345 OPS in June prior to this game.

Duran, Rafaela, even Abreu are little lesguers at hand of a good pitcher like Rasmussen

But this Sox team is a swingin' ball club.

[alsoason]

For a team that can't hit home runs, they sure do whiff a lot.

[vegasbob]

Good news Sox --- Yankees won 40 before Sox lost 40;  Yankees have lost more than Sox have won.

Still a chance at that #3 slot

[Brock Beauchamp]

1-35 when down by two or more runs?

Driveline is doing a helluva job with these guys. Henry already has more of their people employed than any other team and it certainly shows.

The 2 sides of the hitting tactic espoused by Boston

If he doesn't get hot soon, it's going to be Yoshidfa.

Yup, this is a vomit inducing offense.

Is Driveline the one having Mickey Gasper bat 5th???

Temps are too hot.

Just wait until it gets colder, then you'll see the Sox suck even hearse.
