Joe Kelly has some real good stuff.

The Sox will improve as injured players return, but the last Yankees game was a bad loss. Two-out walks led to all the Yankee runs. And the team has shown some bad base running and a weak defense. Those factors will remain and has to concern fans even with the bad division. Something is lacking with this team and that is why it has a record slightly below .500. Making comparisons to other teams and other years does not impress me. We have to live in the present.

And today the Yankees showed clearly that they are the better team. That home run in the ninth says it all. They needed something, got it, and put the game away. The Sox offense looked like it has all season.

I know he gets off to slow starts, but those were four weak at-bats today. And the weather hasn't been the issue lately.
