9/29 vs Astros - the CLINCH

[d-money]

It's embarrassing watching this ball club. Where's the fire on this team? It's pathetic the way they look at home.

This team is f***ed even if they go to the playoff.

 

This team's joke. There's talent but no mental toughness.

[Station 13]

Fastball up to the guy, Bregman, who already had 2 hits. Not a smart pitch at all. 3-0 after 5.

 

Fasball in, when the strikezone is generous outside. Nobody does it more often than our starters.

[Maxbialystock]

First intelligent at bat tonight--Moreland gets the right fast ball on smacks to left. Then HanRam swings at a very fat first pitch and hits a worthless groundball to SS. Huge hit by Devers on that nasty splitter. Huge. 1 run in!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Is Leon a worthless piece of s*** or what? Takes strike 3 over the middle of the plate.

too true

[Northern Star]

I fell asleep waiting for the Sox to get a hit.

I've been saying all along not sure what good it will do making playoffs. At this point I just hope we get one win over Houston so we aren't embarrassed on national television.

There's like some bad juju around this team. They need to get rid of farrell.

[Maxbialystock]

Two doubles by lefty bats. Five righties are 0 for 9.

 

Price in, about right. I like Fister, but, if there is a time to use your bullpen, it has to be tonight. 3-1 game, which might be the closest we will get in the whole 4 game series.

 

But Price still has to deliver.

This team's close to choking the division. Lose tonight and i see this team getting even tighter tomorrow.

I just want to finish ahead of the Yankees. Both teams are going to lose v Houston or Cleveland, but finishing ahead of the Yankees would make it less painful.

[mvp 78]

Good move to go to Price

[mvp 78]

Back door Johnson

[Maxbialystock]

Price delivers. Neat. Now the lineup needs to do something. Eight guys before Leon comes to bat again--plenty of time.

[Slasher9]

Time for runs

Suck it

Good hitting by the kid but his glove is a liability. He still may make more sense at 1st. His bat is good enough and maybe his glove would be a better fit there.

[Maxbialystock]

That's impressive. No hits first time thru, 3 hits second time thru, now a double in the third time thru the lineup. Way to go, lineup!

[TylerD]

Showing signs of life.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice grounder by Pedey to score one--almost a swinging bunt. Man on 3b, 1 out, time for Beni to shine against lefty Liriano.

[TylerD]

Seriously Price has looked pretty much perfect in bullpen. Ready to have him on our rotation.

Like Matt Damon in The Martian. We're alive!

I have been skeptical of Price, but he has shown us a lot since he came back.

[FredLynn]

Tough matchup for Benny here

[Maxbialystock]

Beni, Beni, Beni. Those were good pitches, but they were all the same pitch in basically the same darn place--he should have adjusted in utterly failed to.

[Station 13]

Benintendi has look like JBJ this month.

[Maxbialystock]

Bases loaded, unfortunately, with HanRam at bat. Sorry, but not much faith in him.

 

Bad in September, bad with bases loaded. Plus he's HanRam.

 

That's our HanRam, a dreadlocked piece of inconsistency. The entire team has left 7 guys on, and he has now left 4 of them.

Must score here.
