Shades of yesterday. Despite playing like crap, Sox have a shot to steal this game.

The Hanser Alberto experiment seems to be just about over, no?

Crochet just getting bulk innings at this point. He got up and down and threw 50 pitches 2/3 for strikes. I'd say that's a good thing. McKinstry and Greene killed them in this series. I wish the Sox hitters were battling half as hard as those guys.

Greene has really had some impressive at bats in this series. The Tigers have battled for a lot of walks. The Sox have swung at their share of ball 4.

Sox have thrown 128 pitches through 5. Efficiency. Sad when you have 4/5 of your rotation throw in a weekend and the only one who looks good is Schoenle

I'll give Detroit some credit in this series. They have been able to lay off some tough pitches.

More garbage innings for Crochet. Exactly what he needs, so there's that.

When Cease got his mechanics right again, he was overpowering. Sucks that it took a grand slam to get him on track. Now they've got to cover 4 innings of garbage time and slink back to Chi.

It's not just Cease. So far in the series, Sox have walked 26 guys and have walked 5 times themselves. There's not enough talent in the world to overcome that.

Sox affiliates outscored 34-7 today. Ouch.

Aw, I almost went myself. Have fun!

Oof. Smoked but Robert would have had that.

Joe needs to go back to his leg thing.

That is seriously a HR everywhere else.

That's not a HR in almost any park.

Twins lead 4-3. Bassitt getting knocked around.

That's a HR is almost every park.

Sheets!

Tigers have a ton of walks in this series.

This game feels like it's 10-0

Man, Anderson can make outs faster than anyone alive.

Woo hoo! History avoided!

Sox hitters had a game plan: They knew Scholtens was going to tax the bullpen, they wanted to make sure they only had to cover 8 innings.

That was a strike.

Does a perfect game against any AL Central team have to come with an asterisk?
