5/11 @ Brewers

[d-money]

Jekyll and Hyde team

[royplayer]

I sure miss Papi.

[mvp 78]

Thank you Farrell. And the bullpen is spent.

 

I think Farrell usually does ok with the pitching staff. I think the NL managing "rules" really are too complicated for him though. If Butterfield asked him about a "double switch" his brain would probably shutdown.

[d-money]

Need this win.

[greenwell]

ERod pulled at 87 pitches when they aren't going to score this inning anyway.

 

Clearly it didn't work, but I completely agree with pinch hitting for the pitcher with one out and a guy on first in the 7th.

[mvp 78]

Reminder: Bogey is not clutch.

[Ratlike]

Please, Sox, don't mess this up somehow.

[a700hitter]

AB is a choker.

[a700hitter]

Choking twerp with a harmless popup.

[S5Dewey]

Reminder: Bogey is not clutch.

 

True enough. Bogey is a good hitter anyway so he cannot also be clutch.

[S5Dewey]

I've always been a JBJ fan but he's not the guy I want up right now in this situation

[mvp 78]

Slump buster for JBJ?

[a700hitter]

Sure Jackie Bradley up in the midst of a huge slump. s***!

[S5Dewey]

The way he's been going I'll settle for his not hitting into a DP

hbp

would be perfect

[a700hitter]

H e stinks.

[a700hitter]

Now for the journeyman Rutledge.

[Hugh2]

This team doesn't have enough LOBers...they need more LOBers

[mvp 78]

I'd rather have Devers hitting here.

[S5Dewey]

Really? Runner on 3rd and nobody out and we couldn't get one stinkin' run across? Ugh

[Hugh2]

Pathetic

[a700hitter]

Really? Runner on 3rd and nobody out and we couldn't get one stinkin' run across? Ugh

Benintendi and Bradley couldn't manage a flyball.

[NativeBostonian]

This offense has no marbles.

[Ratlike]

Absolutely pathetic.

[Station 13]

JBJ is bad.

[Jasonbay44]

Is Craig Kimbrel actually pitching in 8th inning of a tied road game? WTF

[S5Dewey]

Yep. Maybe Farrell is figuring out that sometimes the best way to use the "closer" isn't by waiting until the 9th.

[mvp 78]

Yep. Maybe Farrell is figuring out that sometimes the best way to use the "closer" isn't by waiting until the 9th.

 

Right. "Sometimes" not "whenever it's a close game in the 8th and someone on TS complains that Kimbrel isn't warming up."

[mvp 78]

Plus, they are just going to pinch hit for him here, right?
