Dodged a big bullet that he was facing a crappy hitter. Three walks in one inning fora reliever bringing the tying run to he plate with a lefty’ up. and the wind blowing out. Wow! TLR never makes it easy for Sox fans.

447 ft. Glad that Sheets will put Goodwin on the bench.

Probably first time ever.

Hi Mom!

It helps to be 6’4” on that play! right on.

He is got to be the best 6 th hitter in baseball. Bring him up!

It looks like a combination of rosin, Spider Tack, tobacco chew, assorted dirt and hair gel.

I thought the most common nickname for Patrick was Paddy.

Directly from the National HurricaneCenter. Could also be a DP warning, depending on the pitcher..

TLR didn’t even put Moncada in motion on a 3-2 pitch to Double Play Machine Abreu. Man, we need to bail out Abreu of some of the DPs he has been hitting into.

Good analysis. The team now on the field, at pretty much full strength is more likely to win games, than the lineup without Robert, Eloy, Grandal and lately TA. We should be a juggernaut into the playoffs.

Robert should be hitting ahead of him.

Packy hairdo Grade: 0

Agreed, we want him to hit in first inning and hit as many times as possible in the game. Why does TLR always have to have at least one crappy move in every game?

Looks like our closest to full strength lineup of the season with all the big guns in place,and no Goodwin, Mendick and Sevy on sight. And with Giolito on the mound, we should have a good chance of winning. Don’t let Ohtani beat us.

Almost as bad as Tacky Naughton.

Maybe Lance can try to lose some weight in the meantime to take some weight off that knee.

That really sucks.

You are right. It was not the time to throw a fast ball to Kike who kills fastballs and does not hit breaking pitches well.

Soxtalk takes positives for granted and negatives do not escape its wrath.

IN other words it was a terrible trade, unless Sox wins World Series with Kimbrel’s help, like Chapman rental did for theCubs. Would at a very high price though.

Sox tried but Leury would not let them.

Many teams would pick up Leury in a second. Utility players that can play several positions adequately, and are switch hitters as well, are always in demand. Let’s keep this guy.

It was more of a hard hit line drive than a fly ball. I think he misjudged how hard it was hit and it got by him. Should have made the play but it was not a give me.

It is a factor. McCann would have been a much better fit. But also what is hurting Kimbrel are the walks. You can’t afford walks in late relief close games, particularly the dreaded lead off walk.
