GAME #19, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2018, BOSTON RED SOX AT OAKLAND ATHLETICS

[ipot]

Atta boy Matt.  Ks him to get out of inning.  Good work by Velasquez and Barnes.

[markj]

Geez, if you blinked, you just missed the top of the 8th. Sox went down in seconds.

[markj]

Good inning by Barnes.

[markj]

Kimbrel time.

[markj]

Why no Kimbrel?

[markj]

Kelly done good. Solid pitching effort after the 2nd inning. The train keeps rollin'.

[Schloicka]

Hector Velazquez with the win. No save tonight. Pomeranz was ok. Cost himself 2 runs with the wild pitch but still had 7 strikeouts. Got him some pitching time which he needed. The relievers came through tonight. The offense showed up again. On to Saturday.

[ipot]

I want to go 160-2.  I won't accept anything less.   8)

[Sea Dog 23]

Can't remember a team I pull for playing almost .900 ball.  That is just sick.  The all-in NYY writers at ESPN are almost void of story lines.  Simply love it!

[Rob from Mass]

WHOA! Moreland joins Team Grand Slam! 7-3  That was one amazing swing.

Haha, Sox on pace for 40 grannys.

[Rob from Mass]

Sox train keeps a rolling along.Other than leaving the STRUGGLING Pomeranz in to long simply a GRAND game.

[elktonnick]

Pomerantz is a slow starter. Given this was his first start and he settled down striking out the side in the third , I thought was correct letting him start and finish the third and taking him out when he did.  Quote frankly. I thought Vasquez should have done a better job catching than he did.  Based on last night's performance, I don't see anything to be concerned about re Pomerantz.

[SeaBeachFred]

It sure didn't start off well for us and I kept asking myself wouldn't a couple of extra starts at Pawtucket madei it easier for Pomeranz to get his rhythm and be ready to get people out on a consistent basis.  He did look rusty but those two big dongs by Bradley and Moreland helped us put another "W" on the ledger.  As I tried to say last night, you cannot take any team in our league for granted.  We have to be balls out every night, and  that's what I think Cora is  trying to do with fresh lineups most every day.
