This one is about to be over

This one could be a stinker. Bello needs a DP. but it looks more like a walk

[vegasbob]

Still needs a DP

[Tedballgame]

Bello must think he started the game.

[FredLynn]

I don’t think they have a single hard hit ball

The last 2 outs were hit well enough

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the Sox want to hold the Yankems to 3 runs, have Bello throw left handed.

It would make your day.

[FredLynn]

The Flops are now 3rd in OPS in the AL, just .004 behind the leaders

Well once I call it over the Flops win

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Winning the afternoon game guaranteed the Sox would be no worse than 4 games behind the Yankems after tomorrow.

[FredLynn]

4 Ks in a row?

Gotta hit the baseball 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mickey, the most feared hitter on the Sox. And rightfully so.

Anthony will have to play left field against RH pitchers so the Mick can remain as DH.

At least until the Mick runs out of gas.

It would be interesting to see a Red Sox rally of about 4 runs  to win this game.

Still no real sign of offense

And Duran? He still has options

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That RF fence in Yankem Park is a joke. At least they could have made the fence higher, which would have made it a little less comical.

That's what Custer's scouts said.

[vegasbob]

Bello settled in now . Wasn't terrible in the 3rd but 3 runs could win this

No wonder Anthony is on the way, just don't expect miracles

Story? Meh, offsets any good Anthony brings

[vegasbob]

All it takes is a home run to liven this game up

I think the Flops have them exactly where they want them

Is Mick up this inning?

[vegasbob]

Durbin is slip sliding too

I can’t remember the last time Durbin hit a ball hard. I think this weekend was a lost opportunity.. Why the hell didn’t they bring somebody up this weekend? This lineup is not hitting well…  Duran struggling….. monasterio struggling……Durbin is struggling…... Contreras is struggling……..we need a spark in the lineup. 
 

im good to send Mona down or Seigler…..See if story gets hot almost immediately. If not DFA him and bring up Arias. 
 

Roman needs to be here now. 

 

[FredLynn]

I’m gonna have to call it-this game is over. The Flops are mailing it in tonight. 

[vegasbob]

Typical Sox rally.  Durbin and Mona K then easy flyball

So Duran is sitting for both games of the doubleheader and White is the left fielder? Really? Roman isn't an improvement over this guy? So frustrating, we play the yankees for home field advantage in the playoffs in August and Jones is the leadoff hitter and White is the left fielder.

What could Roman possibly do in AAA that he can't do with the MLB club?

Go 0 for 5 and have no one care?

Back to back shutouts, a one inning binge, and another 6 inning drought so far
