ALDS GAME # 1 - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2021 - BOSTON RED SOX @ TAMPA BAY RAYS

[markj]

And a screw up in CF. Sox already down 1-0.

[markj]

Let's hope E-Rod is warmed up now and settles down. Otherwise this is going to be a long night.

Good skid going around 1st. - woo hoo - e4

[markj]

Once again, Sox get men in scoring position and then screw it up with a GIDP.

[MongoLikeSox]

Nice pick

figure Richards can get us 3-4 more innings tonight? Lets hope.

[markj]

Was E-Rod expected to go deep in this game or was this a planned BP start? E-Rod clearly was not on top of his game tonight, so it's good Cora yanked him before it got out of hand.

[MongoLikeSox]

Oh my! Garrett's already done.

I doubt this was a BP start. I'm guessing Aroserena scared the snot out of Cora. He would me.

[markj]

Cora's going to run out of BP arms at this rate.

[longgame]

E-Rod walking the first batter each of two innings did him in.  But was very surprised that Richards didn’t come back out. 

I hate this crappy stadium - hit the roof it should be an out for the home team who insists on playing there and a homer for the visitors.

Sox need to get the bats moving.  That DP killed the start of an earlier rally.

[MongoLikeSox]

I guess Cora's trying to outdo 2018 playoff pitching strategy?

[markj]

Dalbec seems to have lost his mojo.

[MongoLikeSox]

So has Kike

[markj]

Yet another inning ending GIDP. They just can't help it.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Frustrating to watch them offensively.
Too many GIDP . . .
Bottom of the 6th inning
  Tampa Bay 4 - Sox 0

Sox showing off their warning track power. Awesome to behold.  ::) sigh
