GAME #15, SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 2018, ORIOLES AT BOSTON RED SOX

[markj]

62 runs in the last 7 games and they can't buy a hit today.

[markj]

Finally!!! Now they need at least one more to get the win for Sale.

[markj]

Nope. Unless Sale comes back out for the 6th.

[markj]

Hembree in to give the run back.

[markj]

Surprise, surprise...Hembree done good. Let's hope Cora doesn't bring him back out.

[Bill-806]

As DAD would say..... "SON, this guy LIN, has cemented his position on this ROSTER" !! thumb_u thumb_u

[Schloicka]

Beni out at the plate on a close call. If he had tried hitting the plate with his foot he'd been safe easily but they all try that slide away from the plate and touch it with their hand.

[Rob from Mass]

KIMBRELMANIA at its best.

[markj]

Poor Sale, the minute he leaves the game they score enough for the win. The guy can't buy a win. Sox roll on.

Sale has to learn not to throw 90 pitches in 5 innings. 90-95 pitches should get you through at least 7 innings. Overall a good games considering the weather conditions. On to Monday.

True enough. He's not blameless in not getting himself a win today. If he'd have stuck around another inning...

We are getting spoiled by the great play of this gutsy team. I hope we can all put up with a bump in the road that will sometime be coming. Hopefully later than sooner.

[longgame]

The offense was off on both sides between the cold temps and a 19 mph wind blowing in.  Lin hit that one that died in the triangle and there were a couple of other well hit balls that could have carried on a balmier day. 

Another win in the books and the Sox have won as many games as they did last April.  Sure there will be a bump in the road but the real question is how big of a bump.  They clearly can't keep winning at this rate, it just doesn't happen in baseball and averages tend to play out, but if they can keep from losing more than a couple in a row then they can keep rolling.  That's 5 series wins so far this year.  We said playing the Yankees and O's would be a test and they've passed that test regardless of tomorrow's outcome.  The upcoming road trip will be an even bigger test.  But even with this record so far, normally we'd be happy with a 5-4 road trip, so if it's good to keep that in mind and not set unreal expectations.
