I didn't even realize it was a day game until I just went on Twitter and saw updates.

Sox up 3-0 in the third.

Perez is off the IL so they better score more because he'll probably find his way into this game.

That lead didn't last long.

markj · September 15, 2021, 04:09:51 PM

Sox with the requisite error already. Hope it's the only one today.

This is what I am talking about. The sox are in the shift. So Houck throws pitches to the outside corner and three hits to the opposite field for hits. If you are going to shift it makes little sense to have pitchers throwing to the outer edge repeatedly.

The Houck management failure woefully continues.

Too bad he could not have picked up some tips for two months from the veterans like other Rookies do. What? He wasn't there?

Yeah, hard to manage a shift when the pitcher is missing his spots.

On to extra innings.

markj · September 15, 2021, 06:34:42 PM

Sox pick up a run on a wild pitch and now have bases loaded, no outs. They have to get more runs here.

markj · September 15, 2021, 06:39:58 PM

Argh. Devers with an infield hit to force an out at home. JDM just misses a GIDP, so a run scores. Now 5-3, bases still loaded, still one out.

markj · September 15, 2021, 06:44:26 PM

Schwarber with a 2-run single. Now 7-3.

longgame · September 15, 2021, 06:45:51 PM

Always nice when the other team goes to the bullpen for a second time in extra innings.

markj · September 15, 2021, 06:52:39 PM

Now Vaz drives in 2. Seattle's BP is just cratering.

markj · September 15, 2021, 06:56:37 PM

One would hope a 6-run lead will hold up.

markj · September 15, 2021, 06:59:14 PM

Then again, this *is* Perez. Fingers crossed.
