    It's all about the pitching.

    Well true but can this lineup beat good pitchers?

    No reason not to keep Seabold in there to eat some innings. Too bad no one in the bullpen can hit.

    Never heard of a race horse named Seabold, but I'm very familiar with Seabiscuit.

    I think not. Of course, the giant caveat, even against a good pitcher, is that it ain't good pitching if he's getting hit. Tonight Gausman seems to be in complete command.

    Well, if good pitchers got beat a lot, they wouldn't be good pitchers. Fortunately, if one likes to see hitting, there ain't a hell of a lot of good starting pitchers in MLB.

    You must be kidding. Nobody in his/her right mind would ever call a thoroughbred Seabiscuit. War Admiral, maybe. That has a good ring to it.

    Seabold has been hittable, but for his 1st start against a pretty good hitting team he hasn't been terrible. Shouldn't give up on him too soon.

    Can this offense do something and make this game interesting at least? So early in the game they have done nothing.

    Eventually you gotta make some good contact.

    I don't know how many first pitch strikes Gausman has thrown, but I think it's a lot.

    More concerning is that the Sox have seen Gausman 3 times this season and still can’t touch him.

    Seabiscuit was a hero during the great depression. But now we have a HR hitting horse named Judge.

    Not necessarily.
