Rays at Fenway 7/8, Archer (R) vs. O'Sullivan (R)

[Spudboy]

It was obvious at 60 pitches that O'Sullivan had nothing left.

 

Farrell being Farrell there cost the Sox the lead.

[TylerD]

O'Sullivan should have been out of this inning without a run scored. Now he is making too many pitches.

 

Agreed! And yet he wasn't absolutely horrible.... but its the Rays. I would be fine with seeing him start again.

@alexspeier O'Sullivan this year the first 2 times through the order: .246 batting average against. 3rd/4th time through: .600 (12-for-20).

@sean_mcadam That's seven RBI in nine games for Brentz this season.

Barnes looked ok. Some control issues, but got through it.

Ouch

Hanley fouled a ball of his shin. Now he's Willis Reed.

[mvp 78]

@peteabe Hanley, much like Daniel LaRusso, limps back to the plate.

[mvp 78]

Hill is ok, I guess...

[a700hitter]

Brentz continues to be useful and Hill is paying dividends

[mvp 78]

Koji is a white knuckle closer now. Yikes.

[bosoxmal]

I think Brentz plus Hill

Made a great re-fill

[bosoxmal]

Had Hanley gor on,

One pitch and he's gone!

[TylerD]

Chalk it up boys and girls! Another win. 2 in a row and 6 in our last 10. Starting to get some confidence.

I was skeptical on Hill but hey what do I know!!

"Be strong Danial. Be Strong."

[Spudboy]

I'm still waiting for Brentz to turn into a pumkin.

 

If it never happens, I'm good with it.

[Bellhorn04]

Barnes has really been stepping up lately.

[bosoxmal]

Try switching them next outing. Give Barnes the start, O' Sullivan in the pen to pick up the pieces.

No Tazawa, no Kimbrel, and presumably no Koji tonight. We need Barnes to be able to pitch in late and close situations.

 

Let's hope Porcello can go deep today.

Great game last night. What a great way to make your debut.

Kimmi did you see his post game interview? He seems very reserved and quiet.

 

That's okay. The Sox will corrupt him!!!

LOL No, I have Extra Innings, which cuts the broadcast off pretty much right after the game. I don't get any of the pre or post game stuff.

[d-money]

Great game. Close out well.
