Get this bum out of there before he blows the game!!!

Dammit!! Game blown. Cora...wake up!!!! Brasier is not an option!!

The Sox (and I'm looking at you, DD) screwed up by not nailing down a closer before the season started. This closer-by-committee thing DOES NOT WORK!!

Too late.

Donâ€™t you sometimes get the feeling youâ€™re watching a different game than the manager, whoever the manager is? Brasier was a train wreck and when he went off the rails with the first guy it didnâ€™t take long for the whole train to jump the track. Now we have a â€œhigh leverageâ€ situation and Lakins is in the game - and hits the first guy.

Now a HBP to put another man on. And still no outs. WTF???

Iâ€™m amazed that theyâ€™ve gone so far with closer by committee without calling it that and getting a pass for the most part. I lay the blame though with the front office who didnâ€™t replace two solid arms. We maybe gained a quality arm in Walden, but that left an open spot and no room for error (like Brasier).

This guy is awful too, canâ€™t throw a strike.

Time to go to bed!

And now a walk. Still now outs. This game was in the bag and is about to become a loss.

markj · May 28, 2019, 10:56:07 PM

Yay. One out. Thanks to a great play by Pearce.

markj · May 28, 2019, 10:59:16 PM

OMG. This BP sucks. Bases loaded, one out. Sox are going to blow this game.

Walden did a pretty good job at closer so what does moron Cora do. He puts in a hold position and he craps out Brasier did well in two appearances in the 8th inning and sucked as closer so Cora uses him as a closer and he sucks again. My God, what an idiot we have as a manager.

markj · May 28, 2019, 11:03:22 PM

Game over. Absolutely pathetic 9th inning by the BP. Lakins needs a quick trip back to Pawtucket. DD needs to scrounge up a real closer.

markj · May 28, 2019, 11:05:15 PM

5 freakin' runs so far in the 9th inning. How sad is that? DD, this is ALL on you. Get a damn closer now!

Insurance runs pay off because Braiser is NOT a closer.

But Cora doesn't know this or is too stubborn to admit that using him there is a disaster waiting to happen. All the good that Alex did last season has come apart at the seams. He has become a total imbecile with some of his pitching moves.....k=like using Brasier as A CLOSER AGAIN WHEN WE ALL KNOW HE CANNOT CLOSE. Face it, they won't admit it, but we have a closer by committee, a debacle already happening. I guess Red Sox brass still doesn't remember the last time we tried this in 2003.

DAMN - thought that the Sox would prevail with a 3 run lead going into the
top of the 9th inning.
WTF - Indians score 5 runs?????

CAN the Sox pull off a miracle and come back in the bottom of the 9th?

markj · May 28, 2019, 11:13:59 PM

I'm done. I need to sleep and the Sox suck. This is DD's fault for not securing a bona fide closer. This is what results. You lose games that should have been in the bag.
