GAME #49, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2019, BOSTON RED SOX @ TORONTO BLUE JAYS

[markj]

Raffy with a solo dinger to get the run back.

[markj]

Meatball Matt gives up a solo dinger. Now 4-3 Sox.

[longgame]

Workman walks in a run. What has happened to him lately? Or was that just a fluke hot streak he was on?

Workman has been walking people all year. Not a guy for a “high leverage” situation.  Barnes was due to give up something.  But Walden is working on his first loss. I think the Sox relievers should wear brown pants as they seem to soil themselves in close games.

[Sea Dog 23]

Walden gave up a tying run to a .186 hitter.  terrible.

[elktonnick]

Walden gave up a tying run to a .186 hitter.  terrible.

And Dave O'Brien keeps spouting these meaningless stats about how wonderful the bullpen is.  The truth is the pen has a few slightly above average relievers and a few more very below average relievers and one  really horrible reliever.  The Red Sox hitters can clobber teams with weak pitching but really struggle against teams who throw quality off speed stuff. 

Right now this team is not playing like a team which wants to make the playoffs.

[markj]

Can't believe they're struggling to win a series against the Jays.

[longgame]

Giving this game away.  "High leverage" isn't our thing.

[Sea Dog 23]

FO to end the 10th with bases juiced.  wow.

[markj]

16 LOBsters and counting between the two teams.

[longgame]

After escaping that last inning they better score now!

[markj]

Nope. Brasier in. This won't end well.

[markj]

Generous call by the ump there.

[markj]

Brasier did ok after all. Which means Cora will bring him back out.

[markj]

Mookie with a solo bomb to deep center to put the Sox up 5-4.

[markj]

I don't believe it. One stinking strike away from ending the game and now Hembree gives up a dinger to tie it again. Tellez has been killing the Sox this series.
