That’s a rock solid lineup we just dominated. If this pitching staff stays anywhere close to this pace we’ll be tough to beat.

Grab that bait and run with it!

So sick of beating the Royals. It’s like 2020 all over again—beating up on the Royals, who are clearly a garbage team if we’re beating them so badly. Here we go again

Yep

We’ve given up two runs in the last four games. Wow. if we keep pounding the Royals like this Soxtalk might need to...well, discount every win against the Royals since they’re a team we’re beating up on. But I’m enjoying being at the top of mlb in every statistical category. Keep it rolling, injuries be damned.

You probably shouldn’t police the reactions of people who manage *not* to say ridiculous things during game threads, either. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the bitchin’.

Despite the drama, that was an impressive series of at-bats and some nasty stuff from Hendriks. One run in three games. Wow

I've heard from a few sources that Bochy (my top choice by a mile over cheater Hinch and [insert criticism] TLR] was #2.

Bernstein is absolutely lambasting LaRussa on the Score right now; talking about our "issue" getting national run now, and being the buzz of the baseball world. I was one of those who was resigned to LaRussa (though he was far from my first choice) and excited that he would at least be an improvement over Ricky. I've officially flipped. And the worst part about it, as Bernstein pointed out, is that there's no recourse. It's depressing. I just hope the negativity surrounding this legitimately bad situation doesn't completely derail this still-promising team.

Don’t tempt fate. Final Destination Sox edition

You’re taking this all way too seriously. I made a quick off-the -cuff joke that anyone laughing at a post saying “I’m sad that Luis Robert is seriously injured” is a sociopath. I’m really not interested in getting into an extended dialogue about the laugh emoji as a general matter, or feeding anyone’s agenda about their posts getting laughed at too much. Moving on.

It wasn’t my post. Dear god, I wouldn’t whine about my own post’s treatment, that would be annoying.

I don’t mind that sometimes as there are some posters here who deserve it, but hard to imagine what’s laughable about “I’m really sad, LR had amazing potential and is now at risk for long term injury, I hope he’s OK, best wishes for recovery.” Regular laugh riot there.

Can I just ask who are the two sociopaths who slapped a “haha” emoji on this post? Genuinely curious.

See you all in August.

Giants come closer.

Most loaded Sox team ever turns out to be good...imagine that. All without Garrett Richards

Nice win, comrades!

Maybe because the best pitcher in baseball was pitching? Jesus

Whoa. Wouldn’t it be something if he’s something.

For the record I predicted the Tuesday loss in the game thread ?

OK, fine: mini-Sox 150, Indians 0. Everybody hits 1.000 for the rest of the season (anything less is conceding defeat in some of our at-bats before the even happen: loser mentality.) Now let my attitude be the shining beacon that leads the team to the promised land!

Yeah despite my general pessimism for the outcome I don't think that's a good look against a division opponent. It's also not like we're Western Illinois facing Ohio State, we could very well win. I think we load up the lineup and take our best shot.

Yep, I was there! Every once in awhile Bieber poops himself---let's hope it's tonight.
