8/27 Oreos

[Station 13]

Fister pitch a good game once againn.

[Maxbialystock]

Fister today was just what the doctor ordered. If Price comes back, a tough choice. Honestly, you can't drop Porcello with his contract, ditto Sale of course. Pomeranz is now our #2. That leaves ERod, who hasn't been so good, but could be if he could just start a game the way he finishes them. But he will be the one to go.

Last pitch was down the middle. Meatball Soon as I saw it. Knew strike 3

 

13 base runners but only one run. That in 6 innings. We are not getting the hits when we need them the most.

[OH FOY]

10-1 Yanks, lose, 2 games in the loss column.

[OH FOY]

Again it was great they lost Friday.

Not a meatball. Low in the zone and a very fast sinker, one of all whole bunch. The three that missed and were called balls weren't that much different. I say again, Betts has been our best guy with RISP, he doesn't K much, and he's a good hitter with double earlier in the game.

 

Do I need to add that the same guy, Castro, is pitching the 7th and has walked the first two batters, HanRam and Moreland? He just made a great pitch which could easily have been ball 4 instead, tying the game.

That pitch to Betts wasn't a meat ball, it was a sinking fast ball on outside corner. Very tough pitch to hit.

[moonslav59]

8 hits

7 walks

6+ innings

 

1 run

[Jasonbay44]

Back to back walks for Hanley and Moreland. No one out and we got Xander up. Big situation here once again.

[OH FOY]

7 BB's thank god for the OBP. If you don't hit means s***.

[OH FOY]

Send Bogey?

[Jasonbay44]

Weird play, but got tying run to 3rd with only 1 out.. so okay ill take it.

[Jasonbay44]

f*** this game. I'm tired of watching this s***.

[OH FOY]

2 Walks, well his pitch count is up. ha

[Maxbialystock]

Nut case HanRam advances when it wasn't possible, so Rajai goes GIDP. Just like that. Castro got himself into trouble, but that darn sinker fast ball extricated him.

[Jasonbay44]

15 f***ing base runners and 1 run.

[moonslav59]

That's one way to lessen the amount of men left on base.

[Station 13]

This team is beating itself today.

[d-money]

That f***ing sucked! This team right now can't do anything right.

[OH FOY]

Fister did his job. Good Game.

[bowman]

Hit into a double play.. WTF... Brentz could have done that...

[OH FOY]

Britton?

[Maxbialystock]

Sox are 1 for 12 with RISP and have left 23 guys on base--Betts left 5 and Young 7. All four doubles by the younger set--Betts, Bogaerts, and Devers, who has2 and the only Sox rbi. The four over-30 guys (HanRam,Young, Rajai, Leon) have some singles and walks but have not been much of a factor.

 

I'm still impressed with how Showalter used his bullpen. Castro got the one out in the 6th, but also 3 in the 7th, so now Showalter only needs to get thru the 8th and 9th. I should note, however, that none of the 3 relievers in the 6th had an ERA over 3--worst is Castro at 2.66. Here's Castro back for the 8th because our guys simply can't hit him. He just K'd Devers--the guy with 2 doubles--on a 3-2 sinker on the outside corner and low.

Fister has pitched back to back good games.

[OH FOY]

Leon will be the hero! HR NOW!

[OH FOY]

Pinch Runner.

[Maxbialystock]

I'm repeating myself, but Showalter has shown me a lot this game in how he has handled his bullpen. I honestly believe that in the same situation with the same pitchers, Farrell would not have used 3 relievers in the 6th to preserve a 1 run lead.

Orioles have a really good bullpen, and this is with arguably the leagues best closer having an injury prone year.

[OH FOY]

We need something now. Nunez come on!!!

[bowman]

Thats because he is smart and playing for his teams playoff life. Farrell's f... attitude is we'll get em tomorrow. Getting old..
