8/7 @ Jays

[iortiz]

Do JBJr, Nunez and Holt get assigned two strikes in the on-deck circle? Never saw so many 0-2 counts.

 

They are literally a black hole.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How good is the top of this SOX order? Well, when one looks at the bottom of the order, the top of the order may be one of the best ever.

[Tedballgame]

Holt was just teasing us earlier this season when it looked like he could hit again.

[Emp9]

Holt watching the first pitch middle-middle go by. Did he not get the ST memo?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Make some pre-calls on Kimbrel : I'd say 2 K's for outs, a 2 out hit, a walk and a final fly ball which JBjr picks off just before the CF wall.

 

I'm sure it won't be KOJI like.

[d-money]

One run lead. Here we go.

[vegasbob]

In fariness, JBJ blistered two balls there and all he got for it was an F9 in the book.

 

As Kimmi said, JBJr has -0- luck. But those 3 do often have to try and hit with 0-2 counts. Nunez settles it by just waving at anything for strike 3

[jung]

Gibbons must be Boone's protege. Why, with a bag open and two outs, would a manager allow JD to beat him? Especially, with a slumping Bogie up next.

 

That is why Gibby has retired the award for worst AL East Manager, hands down. Boone has years of futility to go before he catches up to Gibby.

End this. No drama. I'm not in the mood for drama.

K, BB, K, 1B, F8 25 pitches

[Station 13]

Come in and throw a fastball missing by feets.

[iortiz]

Kimbrel has to throw strikes, no matter what.

[Station 13]

End this. No drama. I'm not in the mood for drama.

 

You don't know what drama is.

[Larry Cook]

Another stressful game.

[d-money]

Hey kimbrel try getting ahead in the count.

[iortiz]

End this. No drama. I'm not in the mood for drama.

 

It’s not going to be easy. Kimbrel hasn’t been sharp lately.

[d-money]

Two more. Just throw strikes!

[S5Dewey]

I'm sure it won't be KOJI like.

 

I miss Koji.

[TylerD]

Thanks Kimbrel.

[vegasbob]

OB talking about Kelly's 100 mph FB. What other parlor tricks does Choke have ?

[S5Dewey]

f***. f*** a rubber duck. f*** a large rubber duck.

[TylerD]

I miss Koji.

 

I’m starting to as well.

[Slasher9]

Overpay

[Station 13]

Don't let the game winning run come to hit *******

[Station 13]

f*** that ******* falling behind all time

[Larry Cook]

What is wrong with our bullpen?

[d-money]

This f***ing bullpen sucks and that includes kimbrel. They did nothing to fix it.

[iortiz]

As I said in another thread. Do not extend Kimbrel. His best years are gone.

[SoxHop]

grrrrrrrrrrr........

[fxkatt]

Koji was the best. He was tuned into the gods.
