8/14 Sox @ Phillies

[vegasbob]

Credit where due to Hembree for the hold. Good inning with some tough pitches. Cora can only use who he has and Hembree is getting paid to pitch like that. Just do it way more consistently Heath

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

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

 

Except with Devers, the ball didn't hit him; it went right between his legs. Probably never see that again in my lifetime.

[S5Dewey]

It'd be nice if we could see the Heath Hembree we had earlier in the season. Maybe this is the start of it.

[iortiz]

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?

Only Cora and worked out haha

 

At this point Cora could send Kelly to close and would work it out LOL!

Bradley better being playing CF in the bottom half of this inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching game on MLB. Kostas is an acquired taste, but Kaat goes down easy. Gee, that doesn't sound right.

Ain't gonna happen. When Cora gives a player a day off he gets the entire day off.

[vegasbob]

******* catcher doesn't even try to catch the ball

LOL. We'll never tell!!

Devers' strike zone is as big as Barry Bonds' head. Edited August 15, 2018 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[FredLynn]

Devers' act is getting old...swinging at balls on the shoelaces now

[Station 13]

Taser him for swinging at every s*** tonight.

[vegasbob]

Did Devers just try another cricket hit ??

[S5Dewey]

Devers' strike zone is as big as Bobby Bond's head.

 

That's an awful thing to say about Bonds's head.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's an awful thing to say about Bonds's head.

 

I corrected it to Barry Bonds' head.

[S5Dewey]

I corrected it to Barry Bonds' head.

 

...and I have no idea how that extra s got there! I know better!

[S5Dewey]

You know it's a quiet game when we start discussing the proper placing of apostrophes. LOL

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's an awful thing to say about Bonds's head.

 

My apologies to Bobby; he wasn't a human PED dispenser like his son.

I try to respect the English language. Not always successful.

[FredLynn]

Not having JBJ in CF is a managing mistake

[illinoisredsox]

Watching game on MLB. Kostas is an acquired taste, but Kaat goes down easy. Gee, that doesn't sound right.

 

I do like Kaat in the booth, but tonight it’s Smoltz, who is also very good.

[S5Dewey]

Is Kimbrel going to make this game exciting?

[FredLynn]

Kimbrel is my major concern in the pen....leadoff walk. Not a good start.

[Station 13]

That f***ing gnome again.

[S5Dewey]

Yep. It looks like he is.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I do like Kaat in the booth, but tonight it’s Smoltz, who is also very good.

 

Damn, my bad. He sounded like Kaat. But you're right, they're both good.

[iortiz]

As I said in other thread. Kimbrel is not and will not be the same closer we met. His command is awful these days.

 

Regardless the result.

[jung]

Would anyone like to apologize to Hembree now?

 

NO,,,I still would be shocked to see him in the 8th inning of a post season game with a 1 run lead.

[Sox75]

This drama is killing me! I just CAN'T go back to those dark dark days below 50 games over .500!
