Sogood was last night's hero. Offensively and defensively.

What is it you like so much about Sogard.

That was only solo shot

Doesn't change FredLynn's prognosis

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Has anything soft been hit off this tired arm?

[vegasbob]

Well. Bennett after 3 got his in game ERA down to 9.00, same as Sandoval after 2 yesterday and the bottom 9 idiots won that one

Situation is looking familiar and good

Had we gave Gray and Tolle more time off so they'd line up with the Yanks, we'd have needed more pen games or starts by Burgos.

at this point I rather take the sure wins versus Miami.

Big mistake by Jones to triple with no outs

Rafaela didn't get the memo

[Nick]

Our lowest OPS guys are .684 and 674, not too shabby for bunch of guys that should not be on the mlb roster. 

I sure can't wait for Story to return so I can watch him chase balls out of the strike zone in an effort to raise his ops from .547.

There’s no room for Story. Everyone is doing at least a decent job. I wouldn’t screw with the chemistry

Once the prediction is issued nothing can change it.

Of course it’s usually wrong 

[FredLynn]

Bankees up 7-3 now

If we want to catch them we’ll have to beat them ourselves.

Stanton had a setback-calf sprain. Might not make it back this year. 

[vegasbob]

Bennett 's 3rd/4th innings make me question the Sox pitching prep .

Maybe they don't sufficiently warm up trying to minimize the overall work load

If so, check the score Bailey. You are still down 3-2

[Jasonbay44]

Nick Sogard has been such a pleasant surprise.

Mike is the ultimate loser. Cannot stay physically capable

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tugboat's body hasn't changed either.

[Jasonbay44]

That ball definitely hit wall.

[vegasbob]

Wong could not hit it any closer.

The Wall never lies. A Bong sound means a hit

[Oscars]

Mona has cooled off, hitting .167 in his last 15 games.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tugboat's being tugged from the game.

Opening the door to Story for whom 

.190 would be a success

I think the Sox emptied his tank, but he contributed a lot.

Nothing but Canadian bacon

Gasper the friendly weapon.

Rafaela swings at the first pitch which was over a foot outside

The Sox have gotten huge contributions from many AAAA'ers. and a major recovery by Wong this year 

 

Cut all of them in on playoff shares

[FredLynn]

Now he absolutely crushes a bloop to CF

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rafaela ruining Fred's day.

The RBI single was closer to the plate

I guess the only consolation is that we made the playoffs in 2025. But overall, not a good FA signing. (no frekin' kidding Sherlock!)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder how long Abreu's cold swing lasts this time? 

Never seen a player go from hot to cold with nothing in-between.

His chase rate with two strikes is 58%. 
Pretty unbelievable
