5/11 North of the border

[Maxbialystock]

Sox bullpen hasn’t even pitched yet this game tho?

 

True. I'm jumping to conclusions, but with some justification. Kimbel is probably unavailable. Whoops. Sale is out to pitch the 9th with over 100 pitches. So Cora seems to agree with me.

[jung]

haha..... hell, our bullpen hasn't gotten anyone out yet all night.

 

lol

[Maxbialystock]

Sale is not going to give the pen an opportunity which is absolutely fine by me.

 

Not fine with me, but I certainly understand why.

[d-money]

Is sale pitching the 9th?

[Natick to NC]

Brock holt and Sandy in the same game ....late ????

[a700hitter]

That was a very nice relay.

[jung]

I hope Pillar is really out. He got really greedy there. When are we going to learn how to tag runners?

[SoxHop]

Safe. This isn't good.

[mvp 78]

Replay still sucks tho

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. I thought he was safe, but I'll take it.

Kimbrel was warming up?

[Sox75]

Huge call!

[Maxbialystock]

Helluva throw by Holt.

[jung]

Our infielders should be taking the ball to the corner of the bag first and then peck for the hand if they have to. Nunez is always pecking from the get go and frankly most of our infielders do the same darned thing. The runner has to get to the bag. So that is where he is most often going to be.

[MADSTORK]

Cora doing his best Dusty Baker impression with Sale over 110 pitches in the 9th

 

Luv the bullpen hey fans, thanks DD

[Maxbialystock]

Kimbrel was warming up?

 

Seriously? If so, good for him. But this would be 3 straight days/games.

[Sox75]

Hey Price!

 

That's a man! You are a petulant child!

[FredLynn]

I did see that. But what killed him was the long pause between 1b and 2b. He rounded 2b about the same time the hitter was rounding 1b.

 

And that is why Cora should have sat him down. Essentially, that cost us this ball game, if we lose. That would have been the extra run we needed to win.

[Sox75]

Helluva throw by Holt.

 

It looked even better in slow mo! Very nice!

[jung]

Come on Sox Push a darned run across.

[SoxHop]

Nothing like a cup of coffee or a bang bang play to nail a runner at third to wake you up........ I like it

Meh. I like them to go for whatever is closest to where the ball hits the glove.

[Station 13]

Kimbrel was warming up?

 

I saw Barnes

Have you not noticed how "well" that works out for them, particularly the last couple of years? There is no time to peck and pock and if there is time, then you will have it from the corner of the bag. Nunez was past the hand and had to come back to it which is actually normally what happens with the infielder tries to tag that way.

Kimbrel was warming up?

 

He is indeed. Cora wants to win this one. So does Kimbrel. Not sure about Hanley, however. That was an unforgivable slowdown.

[jung]

If Mookie gets a chance he might take 2nd here

I don't think they do what I like. I also don't know for sure what their tagging habits are. You could be right.

[Station 13]

Safe

[Natick to NC]

Is 246 with 3 HR good for a MLB outfielder at the quarter point

[Natick to NC]

Safe
