8/14 Sox @ Phillies

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What an awful deal that was. Thank you Dodgers. Carl did not do squat in LA either.

 

Some players do much better in a smaller market. I'm looking at you Travis Shaw.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hembree warming up. Cora loves the guy. He can’t handle high-leverage situations.

 

He'd be great in Tampa.

[vegasbob]

Ironic how the Yankee-Rays game has more interest going on than this pitching duel. Scoreboard watching already.

[iortiz]

Phillies are lucky tonight.

 

Yes they are. Our hitters made a lot of contact but couldn’t catch a break, specially Benny.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A front row blast that doesn't reach the warning tracks everywhere else. What a BS ballpark.

 

I'd never heard the word stadium used to describe a sand box.

Hembree warming up. Cora loves the guy. He can’t handle high-leverage situations.

 

 

That’s a big mistake. Really great bounce back game from Ricky. Need that type of pitching from him.

[Station 13]

Get some runs now. I have no idea who to trust in that bullpen.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Guitar players hardly ever make good defensive 1st basemen.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Brockstar!

[iortiz]

Whata blast from Holt.

 

Send whoever in the 8th no named Hembree or Kelly please!

[vegasbob]

Still going with Hembree ?

[FredLynn]

Benintendi has sucked tonight....

[jung]

Oh Goody....our bullpen...where the real in-game excitement starts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Like a pitcher falling in love with one of his pitches, Beni seems to have fallen in love with hitting to the opposite field. Edited August 15, 2018 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

I'm not liking Moreland in the most important spot in the lineup.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hard to make critiques when your team is 50 games over .500, but I'll continue my rant that JD s/b batting 3rd.

[jung]

I would not use Hembree or Kelly here but here comes Hembree. Does anybody in their wildest dreams think Hembree is coming into the 8th inning of a 1 run game in the post season unless a bench clearing brawl takes out our entire bullpen?

[Station 13]

Hembree? Why????

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BTW, excellent start by POR tonight.

[moonslav59]

Nice to see Holt come through.

 

Wow, a DBL and an HR from the 9 slot tonight.

[Station 13]

The Phillies got some ugly MOFOs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hembree? Why????

 

Of late Hembree is no better or no worse than anyone else in the pen, excluding perhaps Bra man.

[Station 13]

Guessing Cora is trying to see what these asshats are made off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A perfect copy of a Devers' K a couple weeks ago.

[jung]

Well that was interesting

[Sox75]

Injury to insult

[S5Dewey]

A perfect copy of a Devers' K a couple weeks ago.

 

I was going to ask if that didn't happen to a Sox player earlier this season. Thanks for the reminder.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In the ALE the Phils would have a worse record than Tampa. Jasonbay should probably mention that to one of the Phils' fans at the game.

[S5Dewey]

Would anyone like to apologize to Hembree now?

[FredLynn]

Hembree mows them down.

This is a very good bullpen. Not perfect, but certainly not worth all the concerns written here.
