This lineup is an improvement over last nite's.
We've got to finish this competition tonite.
I'm stressed and want it to end.

I am concerned about/with BETTS, BOGEY & NUNEZ..... Also, looking for as many WINS as POSSIBLE !!! iono iono iono

Sheesh.....What's Cora's obsession with Leon?  He can't buy a hit.....

Price has to prove himself tonight.

Good to see the regular lineup again. Sure would like to see an early lead and some offense.

[longgame]

Keep stranding runners when they were hitting HRs in this situation all year,

[Schloicka]

Lot of wasted chances so far this series.

[markj]

Price gives up a solo dinger to the short porch in right. Wasn't a horrible pitch, either. Don't know why the Sox can't find that porch.

Would of been on the warning track at best in Fenway. Was a good pitch. Just unlucky.

[markj]

Oh boy. This game could get out of hand quickly here. Bases loaded and Judge up.

[markj]

Nunez with a really, really bad error. Two runs in.

[Schloicka]

Nunez with a really, really bad error. Two runs in.

He never got his glove down to the ground. He tried to out guess the ball. Little League mistake.

[markj]

Another short porch dinger. Of course if the Sox don't score a freakin' run soon, it won't matter anyway.

Guy was way behind with his swing but was strong enough to get it over the short porch in right.
