9/16 vs NYY

[S5Dewey]

Meh. Worth a try when you have a three run lead.

 

The Y's put up 2 and the Sox respond with 2. I'm good with that. Of course I'd have been better with more than two.

Sandy Sandy Sandy has done it again

[Spudboy]

So.

 

Driving home tonight I was listening to WEEI and Castigs call the game. They had Jason Groome in the booth. This kid wants to be call "J" or Jay since that is what everyone calls him.

 

I learned that Jay has been throwing a curve since 14 but really started to use it in games over the past two years. He has also been throwing a knuckle ball since 14 but has used it only once in a high school game ( it was a ball ).

 

The highlight of the interview was when Castig said "You have TWO brothers that are TWINS?"

 

No you stupid f***. He has three brothers that are twins!!!

Boop

[S5Dewey]

Now I don't know what to hope for. If the Sox put up double figures tonight does it mean they lose a one-run game tomorrow?

[S5Dewey]

Mr. Kimbrel is very fortunate I'm not sitting in John Farrells's seat. If I were I'd be seriously considering Koji as the closer now. Regardless of the outcome, I'm sick of Kimbrel's tightrope acts, especially when Koji is getting it done without the drama.

Dombrowski would fire you on the spot.

 

You don't trade a top prospect like they did to move Kimbrel out of the 9th.

[S5Dewey]

You don't trade a top prospect like they did to move Kimbrel out of the 9th.

 

Does that make any sense? "We have to play him because of what we gave up to get him"?

[S5Dewey]

Why is Abad even still on this team?

In that case, I hope Farrell makes Kimbrel the 8th inning guy.

[a700hitter]

He is a hot steaming pile.

[mvp 78]

Does that make any sense? "We have to play him because of what we gave up to get him"?

 

Why wouldn't you play him? He's one of the best closers in the game. Plus, he's Dombrowski's handpicked guy. You don't go against you boss if you value job security.

[mvp 78]

In that case, I hope Farrell makes Kimbrel the 8th inning guy.

 

Nah, Abad would be a great 8th inning guy!

[S5Dewey]

At the risk of sounding like the stereotypical Red Sox fan, God, I hope we don't lose this game like the Yankees lost the one last night.

[S5Dewey]

Nah, Abad would be a great 8th inning guy!

 

For another team.

[Jasonbay44]

Sit down you filthy pussy

[a700hitter]

Dirty Water baby!!!

[mvp 78]

Another tightwire act by Kimbrel. Sad!

[S5Dewey]

Nice job, Kimbrel. I take it all back.

[Station 13]

Abad sucks. WTF is with him.

[TylerD]

Missed the game tonight but looks like the offense showed up again! 2 in a row over the Yankees. Always a love site to see I can drink and be a happy man. How did Clay look if anyone can tell me?

He was in trouble all night. We need him to steps up, his next game is against the O's.

[Maxbialystock]

Clay Buchholz got two gidp's from the Yankees best hitter, and that made all the difference.

[moonslav59]

We scored early and kept 'em trickling in.

 

Nice game. Too bad the O's came back on the rays.

[SoxHop]

I think it was more like everyone on this thread was panicking all night.......

 

it wasn't pretty, but it got the job done. And yes, a couple of Houdini double plays may have saved him.......

[Station 13]

He may gotten a couple of DPs, but he pitch yet again a vomit inducing outing. His big test is against the Orioles.

If they don't win 3 out of 4 now then it would be a major fail. Got price pitching tomorrow. Need to win the series!!! Enough of these splits.

[d-money]

That series against the orioles won't be easy.

[TylerD]

Agreed . Sounds like Clay wasn't great but wasn't horrible. Trouble is against a good team like Baltimore that gives us a tough series always will be a test.... now saying that the Yankees have also been deadly lately so it's not like this was a pushover team

[Slasher9]

Some need to really chillax on clay. Guy pitched a more than quality start. Tonight wasn't good enough? It doesn't count until he pitches a QS against the o's next start? Give me a fukking break.
