7/26 Minnesota Twins @ Fenway

[jung]

Trying to keep my bullpen complaints to a minimum lately. But do we really think this is a post season bullpen?

[d-money]

Oh well. Could have been worse. This damn BP’s a problem.

[d-money]

Such a f***ing struggle to get out of the inning.

No, especially not with Kelly struggling.

[d-money]

Gotta find a way and get the lead again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Barnes has been damn good so far this year. He and Kimbrel have been the most trustworthy in the BP. I'd like to see more of this Brasier.

[FredLynn]

Oh well. Could have been worse. This damn BP’s a problem.

 

They do need one more reliable setup guy, but saying they are a problem is factually inaccurate. They are third in the league in ERA.

[Jasonbay44]

Aaron Judge was hit in wrist by a pitch and left the game for the Yankees.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think we should cease and desist any more negative posts about SWI.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Kelly was still in June form, the SOX BP would be more than adequate. I just can't believe Kelly would s*** the bed.

Only kidding. Kelly's history with the SOX has been everything, but consistent.

[d-money]

Can’t do s*** against good pitching. Gibson 105 pitches. Maybe he won’t come out for the 8th

[d-money]

Come on Barnes.

[FredLynn]

No walks!

[d-money]

I hate those f***ing walks. Scare to throw to dozier

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Live by the curve, die by the hanger.

[d-money]

This BP sucks. That walk came back to bite this *******.

They’re six in the entire league. It’s not reliable

[d-money]

6 outs to get a run.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The main reason a pitcher is considered good is because most batters find him hard to hit. See, if the pitcher was easy to hit, he wouldn't be considered good.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great play. Tip your cap.

[Tedballgame]

Hembree and Barnes cannot be trusted in big situations.

[FredLynn]

Incorrect. American league stats.....sixth in all of baseball puts them in the top 1/5 in all of baseball. Not bad.

Not unusual to come off a road trip and lay an egg the first game of the home stand. Especially after last night's debacle.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hembree and Barnes cannot be trusted in big situations.

 

Then, I guess, the SOX will have to get 3 innings from Kimbrel.

[Tedballgame]

That was a crappy inning by their three best guys.

[Jasonbay44]

Kyle Gibson is a God I guess.

They will face that come the playoffs and if they can’t hit they will be another quick exit.

Thats about right. Barnes always seems to walk somebody. Hembree is good one game and bad the next. Kelly sucks. Thornburg isn't back to himself yet. Braiser may be due to get some big innings.

[d-money]

It’s amazing how the twins look like world beaters against us.
