I guess Leury has a thumb issue? Abreu just missed that...damn wind.

That is why you bunt. Stop hating on it. It worked perfectly there and was executed just as planned.

And thay is why Anderson and Charlie should be hitting in the top half of the lineup, not effing Yonder Alonso and Welington Castillo. Base hit here ties it.

Lopez head is up his ass

This...just doesn't make sense. Today's lineup is even worse than yesterday's with McCann being given a break. Anderson needs to be hitting cleanup in this lineup, even with his current regression, and with honestly Tilson leading off and Moncada hitting 2nd.

For the record, Palka doesn't provide much flexibility either (if we are talking about defense). In fact, Alonso is much better at his sole position than Palka is at his, so you could say that the flexibility piece actually favors Alonso. However, as far as the bats are concerned, yeah right now Palka is a better fit on this team. I would give it another month. If Alonso hasn't turned it around by then, bring Palka up with Cease and cut ties with Alonso. Not sure who would spell Abreu at first when he needs it then. Can Palka play 1st? Maybe one of the catchers or Leury?

Love it. Great baseball. Pen almost blew it but Colome with the 4 out save. Was great. Was beautiful. Billions and billions of likes. Best game ever. Except for the wooing. That needs to stop.

Yeah while I agree the offensive is gonna start regressing, he isn't going to lose the defense, which IMO makes him a better choice than Castillo just with that. It's not like Castillo is a better hitter right now anyway, and likely won't be for the remainder of the season.

Yeah I would much rather Eloy be the DH, Tilson stay in CF, Leury in left and Cordell in RF. But you're right, Alonso likely has a very long leash.

Dude is a beast. Both offensively and defensively. What an upgrade over Narvaez, so far. Have we found our catcher savior?!?!

When Eloy comes back, it looks like Tilson is making a case to stay.

I love the name Charlie for an MLB team...hopefully he can stick. I remember how excited we were to get him when we got him from St. Louis.

I literally said McCann is having my babies. Sox better offer him 350 million dollars over 10 years, and none of that incentive bullshit.

Sox better offer him what he's worth if this continues throughout the season. Catchers like these are extremely hard to come by, and if the Sox just lucked out on him, wow.

I'm in the same boat as most, didn't really care for Benetti when he started out but he's been much better this year, and Stony compliments him well. They are entertaining to listen to. I don't really care for the Sox Math or 1 thing with Ricky, but that's not really the point of this thread. And, it's really something when most people enjoy the duo now in the bad times, imagine how nice it will be during the good years.

Phew. This umpiring crew is having an awful night. At least they have had bad calls on both sides.

Colome does not have it tonight. I swear if this pen ruins it for Giolito...

McCann what a beast

Bullpen in to stick the middle finger to Gio
