GAME #117, BOSTON RED SOX AT NEW YORK YANKEES

[markj]

Sale and Barnes are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Sale pitches 7 gem innings and Barnes needs just one to blow the game.

[ipot]

The Red Flops will cede the ALE by Friday and never see 1st place again.

[markj]

In comes Scott to give up a 3-run dinger.

[ipot]

Now we need Sale for the WC game.  And then get swept in the ALDS.  About right.

[Schloicka]

Farrell is an idiot for IBBing Judge and PH-ing Devers.  He gets 50 percent of the loss.

When did they walk Judge intentionally? Let's not forget Betts gave them a run with his misplay. Guess it was foolish to pinch hit Devers.

[markj]

Well I'll be...3 pitches, 3 swing and miss strikes. Scott gets them out of the mess Barnes left. Need to go get a glass of rum to wash down the crow.

[ipot]

SIT DOWN HANLEY!

[markj]

Yes!!! Devers ties it up. Very cool. And saves Barnes' butt, incidentally.

[ipot]

Ya gots to be kidding.  Raffy goes yard. :o

[Schloicka]

Reed forget how to throw strikes? Lead off walks kill.

[markj]

Our buddy Reed again.

[markj]

Farrell ain't waiting around for Reed to blow this one.

[markj]

What was that? I thought Farrell came out and signaled for a new RP?

[markj]

Now they're switching. Not sure what that was all about.

[Schloicka]

What was that? I thought Farrell came out and signaled for a new RP?

Can't make 2 mound visits without pitching to a hitter. Hitter must complete his at bat between visits.
