Run in, JBJ thrown out at 3rd. Needed that run, though.

Like the aggressiveness but with Betts coming up I'd of rather JBJ had stopped at 2nd but hard to think about that if the runner. Took a good play to get him.

And not the best slide. Better hand placement might have saved him.

Schloicka · July 10, 2018, 08:27:59 PM

Very nice inning for Barnes. Looked dominant that inning. Right handers hitting only .102 against him before tonight.

markj · July 10, 2018, 08:29:07 PM

Yeah, he looked good. Some killer pitches.

markj · July 10, 2018, 08:32:31 PM

Beni tacks on another run. 8-4 Sox.

Schloicka · July 10, 2018, 08:51:04 PM

Nice inning for Kelly. 8-4 Sox going into the bottom of the 8th.

markj · July 10, 2018, 09:08:30 PM

Done. Ryan Braiser (who?) looked pretty good. Another good, solid win.

BoSoxFanNY · July 10, 2018, 09:08:52 PM

Red Sox WIN again 8 - 4.
YAHOOOOO!

markj · July 10, 2018, 09:10:41 PM

Sox now 9-1. Would like to see them extend that to a nice 10-0 streak.

markj · July 10, 2018, 09:11:06 PM

So does Beeks end up with the win?

Schloicka · July 10, 2018, 09:14:57 PM

Good win for a bullpen game. Offense came through, Had a couple nice plays on defense. Bottom of the order did well tonight. Barnes with the win. Workman gets a hold. On to Wednesday.

Geo, why did they pull Velazquez? Did he get hurt?

Somebody in the front office is pushing this Beeks character and playing him up as maybe our next best pitching prospect to make it big for us. That is pure bullshit!! In two games for us he has gotten his tits lit and looks like a career minor leaguer. Perhaps he may develop but from watching him it seems doubtful as this juncture. Anyway, I hope it is the last time we see this guy for a long while. OTOH, it was another good night for us. We won, he hit, we pitched for the most part and our defense did their job. Did you guys see Mookie's catch?????? And the Yankees lost to Baltimore. We are putting a little distance between us and them and we need to do that because as sure as God made little green apples, you mark my words.....THEY ARE GOING NOT ONLY FOR A PITCHER BUT ARE ALL IN FOR MR. MACHADO. Keep your eyes on this.

Maybe he may yet shed the Meatball image he earned the past two years. He has looked good.
