Great contact. Let's go!

Let's freaking go! Grandal time.

Crazy thought. Could Bummer ever be an opener for the Sox? Or even starter? He throws easy and his movement is insane. Just an out of the box thought.

Pitching is stellar tonight. That Grandal guy sure seems like he knows what he's doing...

I'll be glad when anyone does this series. Hopefully Royals pitching cures these bad bats

0-2 counts for almost every batter tonight. Good pitching, yes...awful approach though by nearly everyone

G-Elite-o is sure fun to have back.

I think that is fair. Unfortunately the sox gave Abreu big money and EE is still around next year. Vaughn will be on the team in 2021 most likely as well...so where are the at bats?

I agree on this. I just feel like Sox need to buy another starter, So an expensive backup seems tough to execute on.

once again, McCann is gone either at trade deadline or will be a FA. Gio better get comfortable with their All-star catcher.

I disagree that McCann should be catching. Giolito needs to be a true ace and not rely on a personal catcher and build comfort with Grandal. Grandal can't be blamed for the awful movement, location and results of first go round from starters. If Giolito looks better today, it's a huge step to steadying the staff going forward. McCann won't be here next season.

Best lineup they can put out currently imo. Still think Robert needs to move up more, but for now this works. Stay healthy and let's get Mazara and Madrigal in for Friday and this starts to click.

After this double header I'm actually more optimistic than the start of the day. The relief pitching looks great. Giolito gets a chance to rebound and the most important parts are hitting - Moncada, Robert and they get Eloy, mazara and madrigal all this weekend. It's a brutal start, but the starter situation will work itself out this next week and it's either A. Going to get better and they compete... Or B. it's a disaster and we get to see a ton of Lambert, dunning and they know what they have going into 2021.

How many innings have the starters lasted per game? Keuchel with 5.1 is the most, right? Anyone else go at least 4 yet?

Guarantee 100% that Ricky will say he had a feeling that putting Nicky in the 4 hole would break him out his slump. I'm ready for a new manager tomorrow

at least the bullpen did their thing. Gotta get some clutch hits and Rodon needs to be sharp tonight.

had their opportunities today. This is one of those 50/50 type games.

Collins couldn't pinch hit for Garcia? Dafuq?

Is Mazara back this week? Do we know yet? And Madrigal is up Friday, correct? That lineup sees a huge boost if that happens just in time for the Royals.

Palka like numbers it seems.

Give credit where it's due...Detwiler looks great this season

4 bad 2 strike calls this game. And then that strike 3 call. OUCH.

nice bloop!

seeing him take 3 breaking balls is huge though. Not scoring in that inning is so 2020 though.

Nicky taking balls is a GREAT strat.
