Key work by Burgos last night.

Jump on Gage!

That's all I'm here for.  A sea of green for our BP now.  And I'd have no objection of revolving trips to the minors for a couple of our guys.  And another note-we also got 33 pitches the night before from Miller.  None of these guys were here a few days ago.

let's the 10th win right from Jumpstreet.  Jump on them early and bounce the A's for another series win. 

The Sox really jumped up in the standings starting June 25th.    Breslow jumped over several candidates to become the CBO, and Tracy jumped Cora in a Boston alley to become manager. 

I hope the rest of the season goes well so we don't have any bridge jumpers .  The independent league team in Hoboken just renamed themselves the Jersey Jumpers.  Kangaroo is the mascot .  

The Army's precision skydiving team will be jumping to land on the mound as the last notes of the Anthem are played.

If you think I am pushing the envelope then go take a flying leap, errr JUMP

Might as well..

Was watching Sale vs  Cole , interesting match up.

Braves up 2-1 over the Yankees.  Could be a good day

[Nick]

Lets make sure Story takes his time getting healthy.

FWIW, I have never believed that he was #12 or anywhere close to that.  There aren't 11 people in the known universe that would turn down a GM job in a big market, with a big payroll, with a great farm.  I doubt that there are 5 people that would turn it down.  Maybe 1-2 GM prospects that got offers from other teams.

But 11 other guys turning down one of the best jobs in baseball.  That's a fantasy that the haters embrace.

[Bailey_Fox]

Kind of unimportant, but in Adley’s Rehab assignment, the WooSox have batted around in the first inning.

[JoeBrady]

I'm shocked that pitch to Contreras was a strike.  I'd have bet real money it was a ball.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jump appears to be a good pitcher; at least against the Sox.

[vegasbob]

Sox need to hit Jump. Game is not over

Bennett dealing well but don't bet on a shutout

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good grab by Mono.

Story would have 4 broken ribs on that dive and not caught the ball

[vegasbob]

Can the Sox get a no bounce home plate ?

Yeah, that’s just unfortunate for Bennett, he’s still pitching pretty good. Writing this mid-fourth. Let’s get some runs!

[vegasbob]

Duran never saw a high FB he didn't like, nor has he ever actually hit one.

[vegasbob]

Playing with fire in the 5th

Lost the lead

[jad]

Yoshida is outhitting 5 of the starters,  Why isn't he in there?

Lefty starter.

[vegasbob]

Bennett lost his mojo and opportunity for a win today.

Great 3 innings. weak final 2.1. 

Slaten needs to shut down As while Sox hitters wake up

[vegasbob]

IMO, Slaten is a very average thrower. has no command. or control.

In summary, he sucks

[Nick]

Fat out of shape pitcher.

[King Koji]

Slaten liked his old, anonymity of a 7th inning pitcher on a s*** team role.

Buzzsaw pitcher for a contender? Not so much.... .

[Tedballgame]

Duran got fooled on both sliders away.

He's hitting .296 against lefties.   Anyone else on the team doing that?

[vegasbob]

Duran looks very bad vs Jump. 

He has reached and maybe exceeded his Peter Principle

[Tedballgame]

Still time to come back if they can get Jump out of the game.
