8/10 Sox @ O's

[oldtimer]

Brasier not fooling around at all

 

The guy is our most reliable relief pitcher.

[S5Dewey]

Can Brock Holt pitch? Seems like the night for it.

 

That's not the worst idea I've heard. That would only leave Catcher as the position he hasn't played.

[Carbo-Diem]

Seriously, I'm thinking this guy Brasier is the least anxiety causing guy in our BP.

 

A rare Billy Beane throw away.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And he did it under 20 pitches. Truly amazing!

[iortiz]

Finally a clean inning. We better score a couple of runs, you never know with this BP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anyone know who's starting the 2nd game of the doubleheader tomorrow? I'm available as long as Cora implements the 7 run rule.

[Station 13]

Brasier gets to keeps all his toes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ had quite the night. A rare 3 hits and an even rarer error.

[iortiz]

I know the pitching has sucked tonight, but I wonder whether Butler has something to do with that.

[iortiz]

17-10? LOL! Unbelievable!

[moonslav59]

BP ERA is misleading. I'd prefer to use my own lying eyes.

[d-money]

Save some of these runs for tomorrow. Got a double header.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How were the SOX lucky enough to get Betts? Thank goodness the Yankems didn't draft him.

[illinoisredsox]

I would seriously consider keeping Brasier in to pitch the 8th and 9th (he'd even get a save for the effort).

[a700hitter]

Save some of these runs for tomorrow. Got a double header.

i agree, but is this game bullpen-proof yet?

Thanks, MOON, but what about average number of pitches per inning?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I would seriously consider keeping Brasier in to pitch the 8th and 9th (he'd even get a save for the effort).

 

We'll need Bra tomorrow. This is more a game for Kelly.

[illinoisredsox]

We'll need Bra tomorrow. This is more a game for Kelly.

 

I'm going with the guy who is getting people out tonight. This is too crazy a game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD now has 101 RBI. The SOX can shut him down now.

[Carbo-Diem]

I know the pitching has sucked tonight, but I wonder whether Butler has something to do with that.

 

Yes and Yes

[illinoisredsox]

Need one more runner to give JBJ a shot at the cycle.

[moonslav59]

Can we finally stop worrying about our offense?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, JBJ has a shot at the cycle tonight. But someone will have to get on.

[FredLynn]

theeeeeeeeeeeee yankees lose!

[Carbo-Diem]

Yankees lose, yankees lose, theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yankees lose!

[iortiz]

it’s officially a slaughter, folks!

[Carbo-Diem]

Magic number is 38 after this game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gee, it's always the butler.

[oldtimer]

Nine run lead in the 8th. I played today so off to bed. Our offense is great. Maybe we should have gone out and gotten a RP.

 

Swihart will be back in a few days so Leon will get some help. Don't know if the pitching was bothered by the catcher tonight but Swihart will solve that and Vaz is probably at least two weeks away.
