5/1 Kansas City @ Boston

[SoxHop]

Not making excuses for him. But no team comes to the plate in the 9th inning expecting to rally against Kimbrel. So if it were me and I had any kind of power at all I would just look for something I could crush in a 1 run game and hope for the best. I would ignore everything but a pitch I could take out of the park.

 

And then you'd strike out.

Sale once again has a win blown. What's this guy gotta do to win a game. And what to hell is Alex Gordon doing hitting 9th in that lineup?

 

Alex Gordon is really bad, he hasn't been good for about three years.

[guinness22]

After they got out of the mess in the 8th...smh

Yeah, true , but Kimbrel knows this too. Very well.

Kimbrel is not going to get much done against ML hitters with the pitch he threw Gordon. That thing had hit me written all over it. Point is, I don't think a team can come to the plate in the 9th against Kimbrel thinking they are likely to get enough pitches to hit to drop in a few hits or a walk and a couple hits and squeeze a run across the plate.

[Station 13]

Kimbrel control this year is iffy.

I get what you're saying.......... what I'm saying is they all have a plan, then they strike out..

Kimbrel throws a meatball and it gets whacked!

 

Who would have thunk it!

[Spudboy]

Bonus baseball baby!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOO..... freakin 3 hours is long enough......

[Station 13]

Can't believe they're playing like s*** against the Royals.

A little disturbing that the Gordon pitch had just nothing...I mean nothing. Kimbrel would have done as well to have just tossed it over the bullpen himself.

[d-money]

Kimbrel blew the game but it's not surprising when he does at times.

[Spudboy]

NOOOOOOO..... freakin 3 hours is long enough......

 

Lol.

 

 

I pay Comcast over $100. a month just to watch the Sox.

 

I want my money's worth!

[guinness22]

Hurts especially with Kelly serving his suspension and only 11 active pitchers, and a day game tomorrow before heading out onto the road. Not that they can't make a roster move to add an arm for a day or two, but extras not a good outcome.

[guinness22]

Smith gonna Smith....

[illinoisredsox]

Are the hits off Smith grounders or line drives?

s*** happens.

 

I still want him back next season.

[d-money]

This f***ing pitching

[SoxHop]

Lol.

ahahah..... I hope this sucker last 17 innings now, just to know you suffered.

 

Looks like Smith may cough this up anyway.

liners

[iortiz]

Smith is a f***ing bum.

Giving Duda acres in RF.

[guinness22]

C'mon Vaz. Holy crap. Where's your head tonight??

[Station 13]

Vazques is having a major brainfart of a game.

[SoxHop]

The old scoop with the mask error...... it's always deadly.....

[iortiz]

This is getting stupid

[jung]

This team has played some F-ed up games lately. The 4:00PM game against the Rays. This game they seem to have their heads entirely stuck up their butts. That was just oblivious on the part of Vaz.

[iortiz]

We are turning an easy game into a wreck train

[Jasonbay44]

Vazquez is having one of the dumbest games I've ever seen a major league baseball player have.
