Happy Jake Burger day!

Don't be surprised if Jake's arm isn't adequate at 3rd.

Maybe he can get a job at State Farm.

Gotta give Tony credit for putting a kid who has been killing the ball 2nd.

With the guys who are hurt, I don't hate this line-up.

It is quite amazing what they have accomplished so far with all the injuries.

In March if you said that on July 2nd Sheets would be your 2nd batter, Goodwin starting in CF and Burger starting at 3B I would have said the Sox were 5-10 games under .500 and looking to sell anything useful later this month.

I saw Collins come in for Grandal; injured?

Cramping in his calf

Just Great.

Burger was his first hit!

Sure, the CF lost the ball, but all that matters it is recorded as a hit in the box score.

Nice job by Heuer to get out of the inning.

Yes he certainly is.

Six innings, one run, with his C stuff.

Pretty hard to turn around a 95mph fastball above the zone.

He made it look easy

Leury with a 2-run blast!

5-3 Sox; Hamilton off the hook

He's been around too long to make that mistake.

Play it on a hop, and no one scores

If you're picking 4 for a playoff rotation, Keuchel is your odd man out right now.

Giolito looking more and more like a fraud.

I hate Donaldson, but did he have a point? Spin rate is down over 200 rpm.

I didn’t realize Goodwin had an OPS north of .900. He’s like a slimmed down, middle third of the season Yermin.
