The no hitter stops this inning

[Duran Is The Man]

somebody needs to tell these idiots that they haven't locked up a playoff spot yet.

[FredLynn]

This home plate umpire is missing a lot of calls. 
Meanwhile the FLOPS anemic offense shows no signs of improvement 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good bunt by Mickey.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A timely hit.

Ranger needs a shutdown inning here.  Don’t give it back 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only batter on the Sox that swung at as many low outside pitches as Story was JD. But he was a more productive hitter than Trevor.

yeah, he reminds me a lot of JD in his later years. like Story, he just couldn't lay off the slider.

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good shut down inning.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Vintage Suarez so far. 62 pitches through 5 hitting all his spots.  He pitches like this come playoff time he’ll be bard to beat 

[FredLynn]

Duran has to bunt here

[FredLynn]

Shoulda bunted. Duran and Story-worthless 

[Bagwell Anderson]

Jensen is the real deal. Budding superstar 

[vegasbob]

All Suarez needs to do for an easy win is to finish the complete game shutout

Flops gonna lose five games to two of the worst teams in baseball

Why can't we have nice young everyday things like that anymore?

[vegasbob]

Can only hope Arias in late 2027 is a Jensen type

The Sox had a very good player named Jensen a long time ago.

Late 2027. Is that when next season will start?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Swinging the bat has proven fatal for the Sox in recent years.

[FredLynn]

This fourth rate pitcher is mowing down the Flops like a summer lawn. 
Just pathetic

I agree. When it comes to dealing about money, it always takes a long time. No one is expected to live comfortably only making 20 million a year.

[vegasbob]

Thank you, Abreu. Showing up vs the LHer

[FredLynn]

GET STORYBUM OUT OF THE LINEUP NOW!!

You’re right: just looked up his stats. ERA+ of 162. Never heard of him before today

My contention is that J Henry knew or well anticipated that 2027 would be delayed and instructed Brez to act accordingly with long term deals and at the TDL.

Suarez was the exception surprisingly. It is why Tracy and the coaches are all still interim

The boss knew what he was doing
