Bosox Board

Civale gave up 2 runs on 5 hits last week vs Twins.  ERA 7.25. That was his first outing in a month.  He was bombed early in the season, 4 to 6 runs per game, 9 and 10 era,  but has settled down in last two starts.

I thought it was a bit funny that Cora yanked him. I could only think of two things. Rookie pitch and inning counts, and he had given up some hard hit outs just then and the inning before.

I would have loved to hear the little speech Cora gave Diekman and inning later. Last time we saw that was the last time we saw Darwinzon last year. Diekman responded better.

So Duran goes 4-5 with a clutch 9th inning RBI late in the game. Good for him. Houck got his pitches down in the zone better. Good for him, too. Still don't know how on Earth Arroyo could have been out by so long.

WOW!
The Sox have climbed into the #2 spot in the AL EAST.
They have had quite a good month of June!

Keep it going.

Duran gets a clutch hit to drive in a run then Arroyo, the pinch runner, gets thrown out at home by a mile. Oy. Sox would be way ahead in this game if it weren't for base running blunders and wimpy hitting.

Ugh, two wimpy infield hits for force outs at home. WTF is with these bozos they can't get a simple blooper to the outfield?
