GAME #139, TORONTO BLUE JAYS AT BOSTON RED SOX

[markj]

Of course they can't close it out. On to extra innings.

[Schloicka]

Nice job Workman. Let's get a damn run now.

[markj]

Nice throw by JBJ nails Bautista and saves a run.

[markj]

XB K's to end the inning and the threat. What. A. Surprise.

Not a surprise the 2 guys before him made outs too.

[markj]

Yep, making an out seems to be the default result of an At Bat for the Sox these days.

[markj]

Just like that. 3 up, 3 down.

XB K's to end the inning and the threat. What. A. Surprise.

So he gets a curve ball right over the meat of the plate, no swing.  Then he gets a fastball low,middle, no swing.  Then finally he gets the pitch he likes apparently and takes a half hearted swing at a ball well outside.  It's amazing to watch, but earlier was fun too. That's when Betts walked on 4 pitches and up comes Hacking Hanley.  Whiff!  There's no pitch that Hanley doesn't like and he pops up the next one in time for Moreland to then dribble the first pitch back to the pitcher.  Are these guys watching the game before they come to bat?  I expect it could take another 9 innings for them to score again so it's good they have 27 pitchers!

[Schloicka]

Betts never took the bat off his shoulder for the K.

[markj]

Betts never took the bat off his shoulder for the K.

And he jerked out of the way on a ball over the plate for the third strike. Does these guys all need glasses?

[markj]

Enough of this sad nonsense. Time for bed.

[Bear]

Headed to 17 inning, and I, too, am saying good night.
Players from both sides playing like zombies.

[Schloicka]

We have a Carson Smith sighting.

[Schloicka]

Nunez with the error at 3rd with a high throw to 1st. 1 out 1 on.

[Schloicka]

Nice job by Smith. K's Bautista and Leon throws out a runner at 2nd. Bottom 18 coming up. Top of order up.
