Did anybody see if Tim dropped his suspension appeal before the game? It would be really dumb not to drop a 1-game suspension appeal before a planned day off, unless you were certain you were in the right and it was going to be reduced to 0 games. Since Tim’s on video doing the act and admitted to doing the act, it’s not going to be reduced to 0 games, so I hope they killed two birds with one stone today.

Baseball on over-the-air broadcast tv?!? No payments, or free-trials, or streaming.
I never heard of such a thing.

What did we do to deserve this?

SHOTHO

LaRussa’s Sunday lineups make Ventura’s Sunday lineups look like juggernauts

Foulkelore

Garcia drew an S, probably as the start of SOX, with that last outfield route in the wind.

Foulkelore

Yeah, let’s go ahead and remove the “Gavin Sheets bunting for a hit” strategy.

phillyd

Given the loopiness in his swing, I think he eliminated the “Gavin Sheets swinging for a hit strategy” too.

Welcome to the Alex Verdugo show.

LuBob DuRob

Stepped out for a bit… what was the delay about?

Foulkelore

Burger hit a foul ball square into the mask of the home plate umpire. It put him on the ground. He never lost consciousness, but it took him a while to get up, and they tested him and removed him. So, that took some time, and then the 1st base ump had to go in and change into his umpire gear.

LuBob DuRob

Yikes. Thx.

Foulkelore

Keuchel looks good today. They could certainly live with this version as their 5th starter. Their upcoming decisions related to Cueto and Lynn are going to be interesting.

HallofFrank

Keuchel should text the Undertaker gif to Hahn if he finishes this outing unscathed.

Foulkelore

Josh Harrison is understandably mad about reaching base via HBP twice … I am not.

As Cirensica

If Boston can’t hit Keuchel, better pack it in, turn off the lights. Game over. Trade everybody and everything.

burning-phoneix

Was not gonna watch because Keuchel is a meme but now I tune in and its the fifth inning and the Wrong Sox are scoreless? Things are truly awful in Boston.

NBC made a smart choice with Benetti. He’s making it real easy, teeing it up for the analysts.

Willardmarshall

We will one day look back on Benetti and Stone and Sox Machine and the Athletic as the Golden Age of Sox Fandom….

Joliet Orange Sox

The day to realize that is today.

Also, you can add Len Kasper to the list of good things.

LaRussa sleeping in the dugout

Three balls with xBA ranging between .550 AND .650 and with two of them being above 106mph off the bat.

Three straight outs.

Foulkelore

Apparently, MLB thought we all hated hits, home runs, and scoring. But, hey, more outs in play.

burning-phoneix

I mean, I didn’t like the ridicilous bouncy ball from a couple years back but this is ridiculous

a-t

is matt foster that guy? blowing a fastball by devers is no mean feat lol

burning-phoneix

Matt “future closer” Foster

Foulkelore

He looks incredible right now.

a-t

riding mid-90s fastball, two (three??) viable secondaries, average command, that’s a Guy right there

Foulkelore

Hmmm, they are warming up Ruiz to close the 9th. I would have thought Graveman (he didn’t pitch yesterday).

They had an off day Thursday too, so since Wednesday, Graveman has only pitched once, on Friday. I hope he’s ok.

Graveman threw six pitches on Friday.

Foulkelore

Good point. This is odd.

Ruiz for the save…LaRussa playing with fire

phillyd

TLR read your comment and said “hold my beer”

As Cirensica

Ruiz and Souza to close the game…TLR 3 dimensional chess stuff

burning-phoneix

As much I want to see Liam break the consecutive games pitched record but the bottom of the Boston lineup shouldn’t be too much trouble.

As Cirensica

The bottom? This team blows.

Joliet Orange Sox

More than 3 dimensions if you ask me.

As Cirensica

Having Souza ready to pitch for a favorable potential match up was a HoF managing move.

Foulkelore

Whew, despite the best efforts of today’s lineup, SP going in, and bullpen choices, they get the win. That feels like a stolen one that’s nice to take.

wow boston really sucks lol. early getaway day win with a raggedy lineup & pitching staff is a neat trick… six in a row don’t stop now!
