Exactly. Especially when they are thigh high over the middle of the plate.

Hendriks and Kimble both have had problems spotting their fastballs.

Hendricks said he was tipping his fastball against the Yankees and they have fixed that.

Not sure if true or not, but maybe good news?

Just against the Yankees?

There was a ST story where Grandal had told Hendricks he was tipping in last year's playoffs.

Mostly true. Rivera threw cutters like 90% of the time.

Good game tonight.

Win 3 more this series.
GREAT game last night. One of their best of August. That game could have gotten ugly early, but Dallas settled down, the Sox chipped away, and the pen slammed the door. The only extra base hit for the Sox was Robert's HR. Last night is the type of game that gives me hope for this team in the playoffs.

Normally I would be ok with a 4 game series split, but after losing to the Twins and the Yankees, 3 of 4 here would be a big boost to the fans and the team.

Sox never scored more than 1 run in an inning, but they scored in 5 innings. Some good run manufacturing

I watched a little of the game yesterday, when they were down 2-1.

Tim Anderson got on first with one out. They didn't have him steal until the count was 3-2, when the batter fouled it off and then struck out on the next pitch.

Made zero sense to me not running him earlier in the count with just one out. Don't know what the Sox were thinking.

Grandal's (knee) rehab assignment will be moved to Triple-A Charlotte beginning Tuesday.

Grandal began a rehab assignment with Double-A Birmingham last Wednesday, and the backstop wound up going 4-for-11 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored across four games. It's not entirely clear how many games the club plans on having him play with Charlotte, but assuming he continues to progress well, the 32-year-old figures to have a chance of being activated from the 10-day IL by the end of the week. Grandal should resume as Chicago's primary catcher once he's activated.



Would like to see Vaughn hitting 5th.

They won't go three right handed hitters in a row like that. I do think he's eventually destined to bat fifth most days, but that time isn't now.

Goodwin has become the new Dwayne Wise. Lamb is the new Delmonico. Both suck.

Seeing Clam in the lineup again got me thinking. Did you know we have 14 pitchers on the roster?

Don't we need Sheets as a DH for the playoffs? It looks like LaRussa's mind is made up about Eloy in Left.

Think big picture here. The goal isn't to win this game against the A's, its to win in the playoffs.

I think best case he got cracked in the nose. I’m not sure what else would produce that much blood.

terrible.

Gotta feel for Goodwin as well. He did nothing wrong, but I am sure he feels awful.
