GAME #135 - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 - BOSTON RED SOX @ TAMPA BAY RAYS

[markj]

Sox showing a bit of offense. Up 1-0.

[Sea Dog 23]

Sale not having great command so far, but the GDP is his friend tonight.

[Sea Dog 23]

Good news for Kike'.  Showed no symptoms today.  He could beat the 10 days, but need the negative tests.

[markj]

Vaz runs into yet another out. By a mile. I hope he gets some base running lessons in the off season.

[elktonnick]

The coach waived Vaz in.  So the coaches are brain dead as well.

[markj]

Just saw that on replay. I'll give Vaz a pass on that one, then.

[markj]

JD needs to change his initials to DP.

[longgame]

Sending Duran wouldn’t have been a good idea in that situation.  Not sure but I believe one or two coaches are out too but that´s fundamental.  Sox need to be sharper than this to win a close game.

[Schloicka]

Decent game for Sale. Wasn't to sharp but got through it giving up only 2 runs through 6 innings.

[markj]

Vaz atones with a solo dinger.

[markj]

Sox up 3-2. Can Ottavino hold a one run lead?

[markj]

He did it. Unbelievable. The BP done good tonight. That win has to feel really good to the Sox tonight.

[elktonnick]

Great win. 

[markj]

Tiggers beat the A's, so the Sox should be back to 2 games up in the WC standings.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Now THAT was a good game.
Chris Sale - 6 innings, 2 runs
Whitlock - 2 innings, no runs
Ottavino - saves the game with 1-2-3 outs.

Good pitching and finally a few timely hits.

Red Sox 3 - Rays 2.
