Erod's to win tonight , big lead needs to get all 5+ innings in the book. If he gets sloppy, which he has done occasionally, his Daddy will pull him short of the win
Doesn't mean much now but 6 of the Jay's 8 HRs came with 2 outs. Sox pitchers could not close out the inning to keep them close enough to win in a comeback
For awhile I was thinking about what would be the moves in late July if the Sox were still within 4 or 5 games of first contending for a WC position. No need to think too much more. Trade the veterans like Renfroe for a low A pitching prospect , and bring up a couple guys from WooSox to show them the postgame meal spread at MLB level..
The simple fact that Ryan Weber's slopball is your long relief tells you all you need to know. I contend that this is a .500 team that had a nice 9 game streak early on and now is showing the weakness of the pitching staff.
This could be the the close that defines Matt Barnes this year. Series sweep, 3rd day pitching, crush the Yankees at their small park, another come from behind. Go get 'em Matt
