8/27 Oreos

[Maxbialystock]

1 out, 1 on in the 8th, and here comes the closer Brach. Unfair of me to say, but I think Nunez really, really wants to GIDP or maybe K. I'm rooting for the K.

[OH FOY]

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

 

this ^^^^^^^^^

[bowman]

I still think not having that 30+ homer power hitter will be the downfall of this team.

[Maxbialystock]

OK. Hit it good, but catchable. Now it's Beni.

[Maxbialystock]

Holt pinch-running for Leon--of course.

[OH FOY]

Make them PAY! COME ON BENNY!

[OH FOY]

MAN that really sucked!

[bowman]

Goood stroke but right at him. The story of this game so far. we need this game....

[Maxbialystock]

Tough luck. Nunez and Beni both hit the ball hard but not in the right places. Brach and Showalter got a little lucky there.

[Station 13]

8 walks and none came around to score.

[oldtimer]

MAN that really sucked!

 

Now 16 base runners in 8 innings and one run. Thats an average of two on base per inning. At least the last two balls were hard hit, but nothing to show again.

No Home Run power -- bunch of little guys.

About to get swept by the birds?! Yikes. This team better wake the f*** up! Edited August 27, 2017 by d-money

[OH FOY]

Let go walk off.

[Maxbialystock]

Agree the 25 LOB and 1 for 13 with RISP are awful, but to me the only real goat is HanRam back in the 1st striking out with men and 2d and 3d with nobody out.

 

Brach for the save against Betts, HanRam and Moreland. Betts an easy first out on nothing but fastballs. Not good.

[OH FOY]

These Sox Fans aren't like old days. Wake up for the 9th only.

[Jasonbay44]

Why does Hanley swing on a 2-0 count every single time, regardless of where the ball is?

[a700hitter]

Losing 4 in a row at home is not acceptable.

[Maxbialystock]

Han Ram swinging at a fastball a foot outside on an 0-2 count. That's the HanRam we know too well, especially when he then pops up on a grooved fast ball right down the middle.

[bowman]

Swept by the O's in our park.... Nice job boys...

[Jasonbay44]

last 4 games were all pathetic.

[OH FOY]

Ladies and Gentleman we've let the Yanks right back in it.

[a700hitter]

Total Horse s***. They need a HR Hitter. Men all over the bases. OBP was fine, but RBI sucked balls today. When their pitchers got tough with men on base our guys withered.

[a700hitter]

Ladies and Gentleman we've let the Yanks right back in it.

We just performed successful CPR on those bastards.

[a700hitter]

When is the laser show returning?

[Maxbialystock]

Ball game.

 

Finally, the Sox competed before going down, but that's four in a row. Two bloodbaths followed by 1 run in 2 games and 18 innings. These guys are getting too good at losing.

[d-money]

What a disgraceful series! This team literally was sleepwalking through this whole series!

[oldtimer]

Farrell said we needed a good pitching performance and we got one. Two runs, 6 hits and 2 walks is good. With our 8 hits and 8 walks we couldn't come up with more than 1. Hard to hang this one on Hanley as he had a 1 for 3 day with 2 walks. Be interesting to hear from JF after this one. Devers even had two doubles in this one. Time to rethink who plays and possibly time to shake things up. I don't see a lot we could get by bringing up mnor leaguers with the possible exxception of Brentz. By the Sox do need to do something to change the trajectory.

[OH FOY]

First at bat by Hanley was terrible, 2nd and 3rd with 1 Out and the Infield Back, last thing there you want is a Strikeout. Ground ball almost anywhere scores a run.

[TylerD]

We play the horrible Jays. If we can't win that series.......
