ALDS Game 3

[TylerD]

That, ladies and gents, is a pitcher out there on the mound for the Sox--not a thrower as both Porcello and Price are too inclined to be. He mixes up not only his pitches, but also locations, and is therefore hard to anticipate, whereas with both Price and Porcello most hitters can afford to sit on their fast balls or wait for a changeup or something to be left up in the strike zone.

 

Neither of them could go 3 innings without give up 4 runs. Buchholz has now gone 3 and given up 0 runs. What a difference when a real pitcher is on the mound. Like most everyone else, I never thought I would say that this season.

 

Amen to this. Clay has had 3 fantastic pitched today and has looked razor sharp. It's unfortunate the offense can't back him

[jad]

Yet another horrible at bat by JBJ.

[Wade Boggs]

It might take 1-0 to win this lol

[S5Dewey]

I hate this offense

 

What offense?? I haven't seen any offense.

[bosoxmal]

Has JBJ has been taking lessons from Moncada? Benintendi will be our CF next year.But he's not the only one. Three hitters saw nine straight strikes that inning. One K, 2 pop outs. Holt took 3 pichces dead center, and the bat never left his shoulder.

 

I think Benidenti has played himself into the 2017 CF spot.

This offense's downright terrible right now. Just flaming out.

[d-money]

Damn it. Come on clay

Good point

We need to slow down a bit. He's been good. But, he hasn't had a full season yet.

[Northern Star]

How are we being shut down by this scrub with the 4.40 ERA?

[TylerD]

Oh boy....

[NativeBostonian]

Come one Clay. Get out of this.

He's cold right now but he has a good year. Not ready to switch him yet but I understand the frustration

[d-money]

This game's about to be over. Cannot walk hitters

[Jasonbay44]

Ughh...

[Maxbialystock]

Very dangerous situation here.

[d-money]

Throw strikes

[d-money]

Playing small ball. Got Andrew Miller in the wings. Sox can't hit a beachball

[Jasonbay44]

Awesome, great work Buchholz. That's probably game

[TylerD]

Jays and Guardians it likely will be

[d-money]

That's game. I can't watch this

[NativeBostonian]

Sack up guys. Got to score some runs.

[TylerD]

Great play by Pedroia

[TylerD]

Already over 70 pitches

[jad]

Given the at bats I've seen so far, I'm grateful for MNF.

[TylerD]

Still in this but 76 pitches . Clay will be done soon

[d-money]

Can't wait to see another 1-2-3 inning.

[FenwayFaithful]

Clay's doing a solid job. At some point you gotta score some runs. This is ridiculous.

[FenwayFaithful]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Tito go to Miller in the 5th. Need some runs this inning.

He's been cold, alas, since July.
