8/28 vs Marlins

[d-money]

Thank goodness for the offense tonight! Can’t say much for the BP.

[a700hitter]

Maybe Brasier should be our 8th inning guy.?

We still have a couple of days to make an acquisition.

Not to late to trade Kimbrel.

[Bellhorn04]

In my winning spot. We got this.

 

You the man.

[illinoisredsox]

A win is a win, but this won't play in the playoffs.

 

I'd rather they get this funk out the way now. It was going to happen sooner or later; sooner is better.

That would be my choice. I don't see an 8th inning guy here including Brasier.

[moonslav59]

Can we win an easy one tomorrow?

[Bellhorn04]

Workman?

[moonslav59]

That's how I see us.

 

Keep us from thinking we are indestructible.

[greenmonster24]

Needed it cause no way we hold them in 10th but the bullpen is going to lead us to another early exit from playoffs. We need everyone sharp. Hopefully Vaqueez and Sale and Erod. Vaqueez can only hope that he makes a difference oppose to Swinhart catching

[moonslav59]

Maybe we need to start a RP'er, so our starter pitches the 8th.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can we win an easy one tomorrow?

 

Only if the starter goes 9.

[vegasbob]

Missed 99% of the game until the bottom of 9, but see that we pounded the Marlins into submission. Oh yeah, seems to be some problem with the horse manure pitching out of the BP. Don't know what it is since their stats are so unbelievably good. Must be another flaw in WAR computations that my ass Barnes and Kimbrel suck as much as they do. And when sandwiched around Hembree it's almost like Carson Smith and Joe Kelly in Tampa in game #1. The win is much appreciated JDM, Bogie, Nunez and others for saving the bacon..

[a700hitter]

You the man.

I don't want to go to it too often, but it works. I need the team to pick me up sometimes.

[oldtimer]

You are just too polite to say much about the BP. Another implosion. Acquisitions won't help if our setup man and our closer are unreliable. Hembree has been consistently unreliable of late. Barnes and Kimbrel have to shape up and soon. Both have had good years until the recent issues.

 

Thank god for the offense that got us 8 tonight.

[Emp9]

Well that was a struggle. A win is a win though:o

[Slasher9]

^ I told you so.

 

Thank you!

Swihart only throws it back to the reliever when it doesn't exit the park or roll to the backstop on a wild pitch. He doesn't walk them, he doesn't pitch it towards home plate with no clue as to where it is going. If Blake's catching is the problem with this BP, then make your plans for October now. There's good beer gardens in Munich with open seating.

[Station 13]

Kimbrel needs some work. He has sat around all month doing nothing. Maybe trim that chin pube that is growing out of control with all the free time.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

It amazes me that MLB TV is covering/discussing every game but this one. Apparently, I'll need to wait about 5 hours before they show some highlights of this game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

On a walk off error, shouldn't the SOX chase the Marlins' 2nd baseman around?

[a700hitter]

Thank you!

Bows.

[jung]

Workman?

 

No...Absolutely not...certainly not post season.

[iortiz]

Craig Kimbrel last 11 games:

 

6 SV

5.56 ERA

11.1 IP

9 BB

18 K

2 HR

[TylerD]

Didn’t see the game tonight. Glad we won...... barely. To a team that is not very good. Hopefully this lights a spark.

[vegasbob]

Brian Johnson, with limited skills at the MLB level, gets 13 outs on 73 pitches, with 1 run allowed, 5 hits and 1 walk. Barnes , Hembree, and Kimbrel combine to get 6 outs on 64 pitches, with 7 hits , 6 runs ( 2HRs) and 3 walks. Now who gets the win ?? Kimbrel who is now 4-1, the super saver of all time. Not crying for Johnson, who Cora routinely pulls before he qualifies for a win, but to point out how much more valuable Brian Johnson is to winning than the three stooges in the bullpen.

[dannycater]

vegas, that's why he is mini-me MVP--Brian Johnson

[Thunder]

What a game! I knew we had it in the bag all alone. Trust the mojk

Do you double as MADSTORK by any chance?

[jacksonianmarch]

I was at the game. Damn good seats too. When Hembree came in, there was a hush over the crowd like everyone knew he was gonna give it up.
