True. Gasper has been pickin' it at first.

No question. A healthy Roman is the best hitter on this team. It certainly isn't Abreu.

Abreu takes a big cut on every swing. He doesn't cut the swing down when  in a pitcher's count. I guess homeruns count more than OPS in offensive evaluation.

Abreu is and always will be a hot and cold hitter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great job by the Chappy.

[Tedballgame]

Chapman one of the best free agent signings from last year. Amazing two years.

[vegasbob]

Win it now and end this one.

My grill is hot and the post-game meal awaits

[Tedballgame]

Let's win it this inning to save the bullpen.

Where would the Sox been or be without him?

Bunt

[Tedballgame]

Good sacrifice.

[Tedballgame]

Should be able to put the ball in play against Criswell.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sogood does a lot of things well.

[Tedballgame]

Story has to get the run in.

Only strikes.

Take, take, take

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

To come back and win this game after the disappointment in NY was impressive.

[Tedballgame]

Great win. Good for Story.

[Tedballgame]

As soon as Fred left the chat I knew the Sox had a chance to win.

[vegasbob]

Story does win it

Same goes for Anthony.

Remember that pick by Gasper in the 9th. Saved the game.

Damn right.

It's only 2 games but it's glad seeing Story proving me wrong man. This is the kind of wins that sparks to start a good momentum especially after a rough weekend.

Also, Anthony is 100% back.
