Maybe the twins should get a third hitting coach 

Why stop there? Personal swing coaches for everyone!

Rosin is cheating?

Not removing it when told by the umpires to do so is.

Geeze Sonny Gray isn't making this easy

And some on this board last season thought that the hiring of David Popkins as hitting coach would be the be-all and end-all to the team's multiple hitting problems. 

So, how's that working for you?  Not very well, in my mind.

Gray dominating.

[RickOShea]

I wonder when there is a meeting at the mound and the home plate umpire goes to the mound to break it up, if the pitching coach and players say things like "This ump sucks tonite, "You're getting squeezed" does anyone have a pair of glasses for this guy"?

“Sonny Gray” is the name of my hair color after watching him pitch tonight.

He's got-em right where he wants them. 

[cHawk]

A leadoff walk! I wonder what we’ll do with it?

[jkcarew]

MAT, our on-base machine.

[RickOShea]

Can you say "bunt them over'?

Chris Sale is now making this easy, however.

I hate to give up an out, but we need something.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Willi Castro, or WontHe Castro 

Small ball does work sometimes 

[rwilfong86]

COME ON. LETS GET SOME RUNS!!

[RickOShea]

Sales is quite the ballerina!  Needs hi tutu, though!

I don’t know if this crew can go around giving up free outs 

[KirbyDome89]

Literally the only way Kepler was going to reach base. 

[Aggies7]

Our old nemesis, bases loaded nobody out 

[RickOShea]

Solano taking grand slam swing, when a push bunt would work nicely.

[stringer bell]

Oh Donny Barrels!!!!

[Aggies7]

Put a ball in play for the love of god 

[rwilfong86]

That's progress.

[rwilfong86]

We could use a big hit from Buxton here

[stringer bell]

Hey, it’s a run. 

[Aggies7]

Buxton could use one of those big red wiffle ball bats and still come up empty 

[Aggies7]

One lousy run out of that situation is terrible. Top of the order and not a single hit. Awful

[Nine of twelve]

Gray struggles mightily but somehow the Sox only score one. And then after looking totally helpless we get one almost by accident. That's baseball.

[stringer bell]

Taylor’s first walk yields a run.
