8/3 vs Yankees

[FredLynn]

Kimbrel is loosening up.....that is a mistake. Porcello is cruising. No need for Kimbrel.

[vegasbob]

Given the pitch count do you go with Rick and keep Craig ready or just straight to Kimbrel. The way Rick has shown command, I would have him pitch until someone got on base.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No way POR doesn't start the 9th.

[SoxHop]

Close this s*** out Porc

[vegasbob]

Tommy John Surgery. Wouldn't one think they would have named it after the surgeon who perfected it? He was probably modest.

 

Had the pitcher involved or the doctor been named Fred Mertz or Irving Scwartz, they would have called UCL repair surgery ?

[FredLynn]

Its OK to have Kimbrel ready....but Rick has got to start the inning.

[d-money]

Gotta finish this now!!! Bring in porcello

[vegasbob]

Always start with the first out, no walks, no hits, no errors

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ has been busy tonight.

[SoxHop]

Everyone should be standing up for this right now.

[vegasbob]

Eat Gardner up

[d-money]

This has been a masterful performance. Gotta take 3 out of 4 now. A split would be dissapointing. Go Sox!!!!!!

[a700hitter]

When a pitcher is tearing through the opposituon like a buzzsaw, you don’t go to the bullpen for the formulaic save. I like that Cora left him in. I hate managing by formula.

[FredLynn]

Its over. Porcello is the hero of the day. Now lets go for the sweep.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Considering the opposition, the opposing pitcher, and the injuries, this may be the best game POR has pitched as a Red Sox.

[SoxHop]

Jay-sus that was a beautiful thing by Porcello. WOW.

[Spudboy]

f*** you Yankees.

 

7 1/2 games baby.

 

Read that and weep Doc.

[a700hitter]

Porcello looking like a big game pitcher.

[d-money]

Rick “big dick” porcello in da house! Ricky had 10 inches tonight lol

[Station 13]

7 Straight outing from Porcello vs the Yankees that he went 6IP+ and 2R or less at home.

[iortiz]

Whata gem from Porcello. #dirtywater

[d-money]

Last 1 hit complete game against the Yankees was by Pedro Martinez. Nice company Ricky!!!

[Emp9]

I was half hoping he’d plunck Gardner again at the end, then bring in Kimbrel. Is that wrong?

[Spudboy]

Whata gem from Porcello. #dirtywater

 

Let the record show that the guy who has the least faith in BIG DICK RICK has now complimented him.

[oldtimer]

Great pitching, better defense and timely hitting. 2 in the books and now the Yankees face humiliation.

The Yankees are facing a wild card game...if they are lucky.

[d-money]

Let’s hope our sox stay hungry and win the series. Take 3 out of 4 at least. They got a rookie pitcher tomorrow i believe.

It surely looked that way. 20 balls thrown over 9 innings. wow

LOL!

 

Yeah, today he pitched a gem. Hopefully he can pitch like this the rest of the season.

Right. Now I’d be disappointed if they didnt take the series. Gotta go for it.
