While Geo has the spotlight right now, I'm gonna bring this up. Why can't he throw normally back to the pitcher, but he can throw a strike to second base of a runner is stealing? I dont get it.

Good throw and it's a strike em out throw em out

Now let's hope this pen can do what it has been doing best...shut down offenses. Gonna need a nice 7 inning game tomorrow from Holland to give the pen a rest after what is looking like will be a long game for them...or a rain out Sunday (which will probably happen)

Better take advantage of these scoring opportunities. Gonna need to capitalize with Pelfrey up there for us. And the sooner we can get to that lovely Detroit pen the better.

KABOOOOMMMM

Watching the Red Sox game, Sale pitching, the dude is a monster. Leading the league in K's and already has 4 in 2 innings, era under 1, pinpoint control and deception. He looks better now than he did. Moncada and Kopech better be worth what we gave up, especially considering his contract.

Must be a pretty positive atmosphere in the clubhouse right now. Going into an off-day to start a difficult road trip after sweeping a struggling division rival Must feel good. KC will be looking for revenge in the 4 game series next weekend in KC. Do your homework tomorrow boys, take advantage of that day off. Don't stop now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) Leave it to the Sox to finally start beating KC when we're not expected to compete. When are they ever expected to compete (by non-Sox fans)?

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 04:45 PM) Boyd/Fulmer/Zimmermann Thanks. Glad Verlander isn't scheduled. The sooner they get to Detroit's bullpen the better. I'm not really sure how to predict the series to be honest. If the Sox continue playing like they are, all 3 of those games might be real close. No one expected a KC sweep (still 4 outs to go), so who knows what will happebn, although Detroit can hit the baseball.

Where in the world did Luery Garcia come from??? Would be really nice if the Sox can keep this up vs Detroit and take 1st place. Anyone know which Detroit starters are scheduled to pitch?

I heard that ball hit all the way over here in Michigan

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 04:00 PM) Better score here or a ND for Q. Lol. It seriously is astounding

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) That Hosmer slide was bliss. I did a slide exactly like that into 3rd base in high school. Oh man did I get it when I got back to the dug out.

This is great. Hopefully the bullpen can continue to dominate. I'm liking these young guys. Leury Garcia with the 2 rbi tonight, we'll take it. Also love the encouragement from Rick when the guys come back in the dugout after scoring. That little positive recognition goes a long way. You can tell he cares a lot about these guys doing things the right way.

Let's go Todd. You are a run producer. Time to produce.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) I don't think he was trying to hit the leadoff guy this inning. True

Deliberate? Maybe payback for hitting Cain.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 09:07 PM) Covey is just so bad. He wouldn't do well in AAA. Can't locate. We have been spoiled by great starting pitching though. Gonna be a bullpen game for us.

Coveys lucky he is pitching against KC

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 08:50 PM) Why would you send him!?!? That's the 2nd time I've seen the runner sent and shouldn't have been...I miss McEwing at 3rd.

Covey...stop it

Ump better give us that same strikezone.

Benetti kind of sucks out the energy of nice plays by yelling like it's the last out of the world series every time the Sox do something well...idk just my opinion

Kind of surprised Narvaez is in the lineup vs. the lefty and not Soto...is he hurt again maybe?
