GAME #11, TAMPA BAY RAYS AT BOSTON RED SOX

[markj]

Amazing. Barnes gets out of the inning with a sweet DP.

[Rob from Mass]

Barnes still sporting a ERA of 0.00.

[markj]

Ok, Kimbrel. This is a real save situation and the game is on the line. No excuses. Get it done.

[Rob from Mass]

Kimbrel time .Don't  know if I should drink or pray.

[Rob from Mass]

Well that was different from our closer.A 1-2-3 inning.

[markj]

Kimbrel done good. Sale gets a richly deserved win. He was stellar again.

  J F needs to field a lineup that can score some runs....... I can't stand the "keep the line moving" thought process.....Hit/run/ score and don't waste Sale anymore !!!

Any suggestions ?

  Yes, SMALL ball till you get into the bullpen....  Avoid the D P's, keep the defense guessing and off balance.........  Live by the long ball, die by the long ball !!

And get that efen Sandoval out of the lineup---and bring up Swihart to add another bat to the shaky attack.

Do we have talent?  Yes we're supposed to have?  We therefore have a talented bunch, but RIGHT NOW WE ARE A SHITTY TEAM!!!!!!!  Sale should have been give two or three more runs today if the hitters would have done their job, and say what you will, Barnes may have a .000 ERA but to me he is still a meatball and I have very little confidence in him.  He was lucky today.  He often pitches as if the strike zone is high and outside.

I really feel bad for Sale.  He's gonna ride out the whole season w/o any darn run support >:(

Fred, I'm with you on Sandoval.  I'd bring up Swihart over Young. 
We could ride Holt at 3B - it would be an improvement.  Unfortunately, Matt Dominguez' bat is no improvement over Panda's

I forgot about Matt Dominguez.   I wonder how he and Swihart are doing at Pawtucket.  If they want a call-up they had better not soil the bed and instead play solid ball and show some strength at the plate.

You're right, ipot---we could ride Hotl for a spell, but he's not any kind of real solution. Dombrowski and Henry have coughed up a big fur ball putting all their eggs in Sandoval's basket (no pun intended).

Fix this soon, DD!

How long til Sale blows a gasket over the lack of run support? Lord knows I there already with this crapfest offense.

Not pretty but Barnes  got the big DP

And TAYLOR is back at 3-A, why ???  Because he could.....  Convenient CONTRACT !!!!
