10 in a row!

 

SFF - you better start the first game thread for our playoff series.

Chalk it up boys and girls!!!!! The streak grows!!!

Red Sox are just taking all of their missing close game wins from all year and putting them into this winning streak. We may actually have an average record in close games this year if this keeps up. This was a huge win (duh). We gotta try to go into the final Toronto series up by 4 games or more so that we can coast into the ALDS and just say "see ya Toronto, you can beat us in this last series if you want, now have fun in that Wild Card game".

Just keep you know who off the roster, Farrell. Don't f*** with a good thing.

Just an amazing, amazing streak. 10 in a row in September in the middle of a tight pennant race. My goodness gracious. A new hero tonight in Pedroia who heretofore was just getting mostly singles but a lot of them. Suddenly in one hellacious at bat he kept fouling off those changeups before finally golfing another one into the left center field seats. Not brilliant defense, but also no errors.

 

Once again a short game thread because talksox seems to thrive on losses and chances to gripe. Not buying the Saturday night excuse because this, by God, is the 10th win in a row.

 

A couple of obvious points about the 10 in a row. First and foremost, the bullpen has been terrific and it has been used a lot but not too much because the September callup gives Farrell at least 10 arms, most of them pretty good. Tonight was a perfect example--he used 4 in the 7th inning.

 

The hitting during the streak has been unusually consistent--never more than 7 runs, but only 2 runs just once, last night, when Pomeranz astounded one and all by going 5 and giving up just 1 run. FArrell used 5 relievers to get thru the final 4 innings.

 

The rotation has been good, but not great during the streak--so too the defense.

 

While I give the players, as always, the lion's share of the credit, I have to say Farrell seems to have them in a good frame of mind. I wouldn't say his use of the bullpen has been brilliant, but it's for sure he has not hesitated to use it a lot for the simple reason it has been deep and pretty darn reliable during the streak.

 

Would it surprise anyone to learn that Ortiz has 13 rbi's in the 10 game streak? That Ramirez had 12? When you throw in Pedroia's grand slam tonight it's clear the over 30 crowd ain't exactly over the hill. Experience is good to have in September.

Why can't you just be happy they won? You had five paragraphs on why this was awesome but you had to add a part where you disparaged everyone else's fandom. Why? It's a Saturday night. Lots of people do other things on Saturday night. I worked tonight from 5 to 11, and as a waiter I don't have lots of free time to log online and post comments on TalkSox. Other people have things to do. It's a busy time of year. Instead of judging people for not showing up, how about just focusing on how great the Sox are right now?

That throw by Kiermaier was absurd.. Holy s***.

 

Good hit by Holt and hustle by Betts

 

It sure was. It was perfect.

 

As much as I try to convince myself JBJ should be a shoe-in for the GG that play underscores why Kiermier is thought to be so good.

 

I love great throws.

 

I was spoiled early in life seeing Yaz, Evans, and Reggie Jackson peg runners out.

[Spudboy]

Great job by that Rays pitcher to come in, walk Bradley on 4 pitches and leave. Reminded me of Tommy Layne

 

Lol.

 

I like Layne anyways.

[Spudboy]

I'm not joking, right before the pitch of Pedroia's extremely clutch grand slam, I jokingly said that he'll hit a grand slam. Unbelievable.

 

Just prior to the last pitch of the game I said drop the hook on him!

 

Once in a while we get it right!

Well said.

 

Although I would have preferred that you post that in Klingon so I could see if Google Translate would work on it!

There are a lot of words there that have no translation in Klingon. Oddly, the people who developed the language never came up with Klingon words for "TalkSox"!

I wear my Pedey camo shirt to work last night and how does Mr. Pedroia show his appreciation? Grand salami!

 

Thank you, Mighty Might!

 

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......
