7/22 vs Twins

[bowman]

Agree, can't lose this game.....

I said it last night. Save some of those runs for tonight. Ughhh. A split against this awful team would be frustrating.

 

You do realize this is 4 game set, right?

 

The worst teams in modern MLB history (I'm talking 62 Mets bad) win 1 out of 4.

I know it's 4 games.

Folks I posted it weeks ago and I'll post it again:

 

Any pitcher at the major league level has the ability to shut down any team at any time. The difference between the bad ones and the great ones are how often they can do it.

nice hustle, Shaw..

[bowman]

U gotta be s.... me. We even get a mulligan...lol

[illinoisredsox]

If we are lucky, we will see the Twins closer in the 9th. They might have a better shot at him.

[d-money]

Gonna need some 9th inning magic. This gibson cat must be better then his e.r.a indicates.

[bowman]

C'mon Walk off.......

[yankthis]

Here goes GIDPedroia

Is Mookie's injury serious?

[bowman]

Hope not. Just sore but......

[Spudboy]

Nice at bat by Bogey.

 

12 pitches then a walk.

[bowman]

[Spudboy]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaahkkkkkkk!!1!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Are you f***ing kidding me

[bowman]

Try to steal home.....lol

[bowman]

Han Ram is not a money player.....

[Jasonbay44]

I only saw the 9th inning, but what a s***** game.

[illinoisredsox]

Han Ram is not a money player.....

 

Ah, who hit into the DP? Ortiz hits the same ball Ramirez did and it might have tied hit up.

[d-money]

How do u blow that game? Wow

[d-money]

These are the games that drive you crazy about this team. Ughhhh

[bowman]

Yup, Oh well. We need the next 2...

[illinoisredsox]

Plus is it was the second straight decent outing by ERod. I'll take my chances in any game when the starter gives up 2 runs in 6 innings.

That's 5 1/3 innings.

[iortiz]

Can't believe we lost this one, mostly the way we did in the 9th.

[a700hitter]

Very tough loss, but we will steamroll them tomorrow.

[Maxbialystock]

This game shows what a difference pitching can make because the Sox have a terrific offense, and Ortiz is central to it--but they still got that GIDP with the bases loaded in the 9th and no one out. Plus their starter went 8 giving up 1 run and 2 hits.

 

Rodriguez had a decent start but only went 5.1 innings, which left 3.2 for the bullpen, which mean 4 pitchers (Hembree got no one out while giving up a hit and a walk). Good job by the bullpen and Farrell to keep the game close and give the lineup a chance to win it.

DFA Papi. #washedup

Yup, Oh well. We need the next 2...

 

Disappointing loss. After we got the first two on, I was sure we would be walking off. It wasn't meant to be.

 

As much as we all would love it, it's very tough to sweep any team in a 4 game series. As you said, we need the next 2. Price and Porcello will shut them down.
