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 in 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. 

Too much pressure put on the role players. 

[FredLynn]

Sogard has to make that play

Mono did have a big hit in the afternoon game, but he's been flattening out.

[FredLynn]

If Rafaela catches that clean he had a DP

[iortiz]

Rafaela continuos with the sloppiness. 

[vegasbob]

I am sure they are all fatigued and sore.

A day-night was the last thing they needed.

Many of the role players have exceeded career max games played

[notin]

Thats 3 hard hit balls off Bello in a row…

[Tedballgame]

Bello not watching the runners at all.

[FredLynn]

Runs are on the way

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The truth is this fragile Sox team has done better than anyone here expected due to all the long term injuries. The role players have been a positive factor on this team.

[vegasbob]

If the Sox gave IQ/Wunderlich type tests , there would be a few s ones I would like to see.

I think there are some dummies out there

[FredLynn]

4-1

The game was already over

[vegasbob]

Keep in mind it has taken Bello 94 pitches to get 4 1/3rd, giving up 4 runs.

This is what he said:

 

• "Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical."

[vegasbob]

This guy Hill is unfair vs Duran 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Someone better tell Duran how important he is to the team or he's gonna get down in the dumps again.

[FredLynn]

This is what else he said:

 

• You can observe a lot by just watching."

• "Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours."

• "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." — Speaking about a popular restaurant.

• "I really didn't say everything I said." [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Every hitter has that one pitcher he can't hit.

Well I got the 90% part right. So then actually baseball is 90% physical and 10% mental.

Teddy Ballgame was quoted as saying that pitchers were the dumbest animals on the planet.

Bob was special. A very scary man on the mound. He would laugh at the coddling that goes on today.

I think those percentages hold up pretty well in most team sports.

Yogi was much smarter than he looked.

Ye Olde wait until 8th/9th then hit. Don't waste energy early
