Banner inning for Duvall probably a two run swing. Better knock the crap out of one next time, or maybe just make contact if the situation clearly calls for it.

You can't squander a bases loaded situation without first managing to load the bases?

Their starter has already thrown 65 pitches through 3 innings?

We're not losing?

Bout all the good news I have for you guys.

This pitcher has been absolutely dreadful against the Sox in two straight starts and they refuse to punish him.

Arroyo sucks, but he's better than this guy. I guess he will always have those two GS's.
Arroyo had a .638 OPS for the Sox this season. Urías's is .722. Going to go ahead & declare Arroyo not the solution.

Take those two grand slams out. He sucks. And as I said, Arroyo sucks.
I mean, yes, if you take out all the good things, he hasn't done that well? But it's not like I was citing RBI stats. In general, he is a much better hitter than Arroyo.

So Sale is at 66 pitches. I assume Cora pulls him here. I mean, he’s got to be tired.
I think he went 80 last time. Third time through is scary. But, what are you going to do? He's on our fucking team he needs to go out and make some fucking plays. It's not like we have superstars to get through 5 innings either.
