Farmer is 100% right that Clevenger balks on every single pitch with runners on.  He never completely pauses before he comes home.

This is something a lot of guys do nowadays but it isn't called. Why have the rule if it isn't enforced?

I think if the Sox can take anything away from this outing of  Giolito is NO walks. Going in the right direction 

I would rather see 2 walks and no HR. That would have been a better direction.

On the plus side, if you put together Sanchez/Davidson at 3B and can limit Palka to DHing, then you might actually have something.

Now, all we need to do is come up with 2 outfielders (one is Jimenez, obviously) and Collins/Zavala look like they will be at least league average (at worst).

Theoretically, I think you sign one veteran FA outfielder (Pollock, Brantley, etc.) not named Harper, a veteran "value" 2/3 starter and bullpen help and you're not THAT far off in this division...especially with the Indians watching Encarncacion decline, Miller will be gone, Brantley won't be in their price range, and Kipnis has sucked but he's been one of their clubhouse leaders and a productive player until last year and will be missed more than they think.

This is painful to watch.. not much positive from them right now. 

1) Palka's exit velocity

2) Anderson's offensive surge

3) Covey looking like he might be on the verge of putting it together

4) A classic Abreu hot streak

5) Tilson actually staying healthy for a week?

6) No more Gonzalez...soon?

Palka has five home runs. He's only 26 years old. He looks perfect for this day and age of lift and pull. Sox might have to make a decision on which one of these guys will be DH of the future. Palka? Davidson? Avi? Abreu? Palka appears to have a clue.

7) Anderson's defensive gem in the 1st

A Palka/Davidson platoon at DH could be something. Plus, with Leury as a super sub, it wouldn't cost you a valuable bench spot.

That is a lot more positive than I took out of these games
