Third inning game thread.

 

Buchholz vs. Happ

[a700hitter]

Remy gave a stat on Vasquez. I think he said that he has thrown out more than 50% of the runners stealing since he has been in the majors. That is unheard of in Boston.

I guess bradley can't even hit in pawtucket. He's got a 189 batting average down there. He's gotta be careful he doesn't get demoted to double a lol (just kidding). Edited August 26, 2014 by BigPapi

Nice shot mookie!

[BigPapi]

Little people power this inning!

[BigPapi]

Mookie looks like he could be a 30 stolen bases guy.

Buch is about to pitch a CG?

[redsoxrules]

Unreal. Jays back into this game thanks to 2 s***** hits. Just the way the Sox season has been going.

[RedSoxNC84]

Nope, instead Koji "I'm probably pitching injured" Uehara gives it up.

[redsoxrules]

FFS. And this had to be Toronto. I hate this team as much as I hate the Yankee's

[Mr Tibbs]

WTF is going on??!!! It's one f***ing out!!! f***!!!!!

[a700hitter]

The 2014 Red Sox continue to find ways to lose.

Koji has officially fallen off the map. Might have been best to deal him when his value was high

Cespedes continues to produce

What? His previous outing against Seattle he have up 3 bloop hits.

[Station 13]

Nice outing for Clay. But he usually owns this s***** Toronto club.

[Mr Tibbs]

Two......!

[Mr Tibbs]

HOLY s***!!! A WIN!!! Who knew we could still do that???!!!!

[BOSOX11]

There's still hope....

Absolutely agree Koji probably is injured. They should shut the guy down to lessen the chance he will be shot for next season. They have been overworking Tazawa also.

 

The announcers were saying something about Workman going back to minors and relief staff being strengthened. One hopes so. Until this season happened to the RS it never dawned on me that teams who don't score enough runs can ruin relief pitchers just as do teams with bad starting pitching.

I am not sure why people are concluding that Koji must be injured. Last year was a career year for him. It may be one of the greatest seasons for a closer in history. This season he has given a few glimpses of being mortal. It is a long season, and even great players hit some bumps in the road and struggle. The great Mo Rivera would hit a patch most years where he struggled. Despite being in this rough patch, Uehara is still pitching to a season ERA of 2.25 at age 39. I am not sure why people expecte him to be perfect and why they conclude that he must be injured if he is not perfect. That being said, I cannot think of a good reason for Farrell leaving him in for 30+ pitches the other day when he had blown the save. That was thick-headed stupidity, but then again, Farrell is a thick-headed stupid man.

I am guessing fatigue is probably the culprit with Koji rather than injury.
