I would like to see BOGEY get a couple of nights off !! iono iono iono

Schloicka · September 13, 2018, 07:10:24 PM

Might be another low scoring game tonight. Not sure. Neither pitcher impresses me so far.

Schloicka · September 13, 2018, 07:56:06 PM

HR Devers. 3-1 Sox in the 6th.

markj · September 13, 2018, 07:56:25 PM

Raffy finally contributes something positive.

Schloicka · September 13, 2018, 08:24:47 PM

People who were asking the other day where is Poyner? There he is & there he goes. 3-2 Sox now with Kelly coming in to face Smoak. I'd just bypass Smoak and work on the next guy with 2 outs.

markj · September 13, 2018, 08:26:17 PM

Yep. And now Kelly has a chance to blow the game. Already has the tie run on. Got squeezed pretty hard by the ump, though.

markj · September 13, 2018, 08:30:56 PM

And again, Cora doesn't have someone immediately ready to replace Kelly. When will he get it through his head that Kelly sucks and needs to be avoided in one run games.

markj · September 13, 2018, 08:33:45 PM

Dammit. This is so infuriating. No win for E-Rod because Cora is asleep at the wheel.

Schloicka · September 13, 2018, 08:39:18 PM

How do you hit 2 guys in a row? If not going to throw the guy a strike why throw it inside? Had him setup for something down & away on 0-2. Guy was swinging at anything and you help him.

markj · September 13, 2018, 08:40:32 PM

No control at all. And a manager who should have known better and had someone ready two batters earlier. If I was E-Rod, I'd be pissed.

E-Rod won't be pissed. He's stunk up the place on numerous occasions himself. Biggest thing was E-rod pitched well.

Sox get very lucky and go ahead. Workman in line for the win now?

markj · September 13, 2018, 08:50:39 PM

DP threat gone now. Good deal.
