9/30 v MFY's

[jung]

Last of 162...great great season

[TylerD]

Let’s go out on a win!

[vegasbob]

A first inning run, how innovative. Gotta love Brock Holt.

[vegasbob]

More Moreland gets us up firther. Nunez looks fully baked now with the 1B collision.

[Station 13]

Damn Nunez

[jung]

Nunez walking better but that is going to swell eventually. Now maybe the 5 days off will end up being worth something, like Nunez healing completely.

 

Looks like Cora has said, OK enough fellas. Last game before we sit for a week. Lets try to focus PLEASE!

Sandy working on 0 for 8,000,000

[Station 13]

It's sad this Sandy Leon is going to get 10-15 at bats the next series.

Sandy working on 0 for 8,000,000

 

Opposing teams don't need to shift for Sandy, just have the catcher move his glove around for the pitcher to hit. Not sure what it is because he has delivered hits in the past but he truly looks clueless right now. Not even in the same vicinity as the ball crossing the plate. I'm sure Cora will carry vazquez and Swihart and pinch hit early if needed for Sandy.

[jung]

Sandy has looked like he was swinging a Sequoia tree for at least a month if not longer. I am not sure he could catch up to it if he knew were it was going.

 

But the tired bat could be the cause of all of it. Once a hitter realizes he is swinging a tired bat he tries to start his swing early and then he really starts to look foolish...about the way Sandy has looked for the last month.

With Vazquez's return and Swihart's help, I would have thought Leon would get refreshed but he probably needs 2 weeks in Hawaii for that to happen.

[vegasbob]

Porcello looking pretty sharp with good ball movement, pitching the edges but can't get a marginal call or two. If this was a playoff game his pitch count would be limiting him to 5+ innings.

[Station 13]

Holt is the man lately. He should play every games staring Wednesday.

It's Friday but I agree, I much rather see Holt hitting than Kinsler.

[TylerD]

Porcello the Yankee killer.

If he gives us 5 or 6 scoreless innings come playoffs I’ll take it.

[jung]

is 7-0 a Kelly proof lead?

[Station 13]

Kelly is an assclown like his Jim Buchanan alter ego.

[jung]

Kelly eventually gives you a pitch like pitch 6 or a grooved FB and Kablaam!

[OH FOY]

That Ump is a jerk.

[Bellhorn04]

Leon and Kelly in the game thread crosshairs today!

[greenmonster24]

Wow Kelly survived a inning granted Stanton and Dilo aren’t playing so by no means does it mean he should be on playoff roster Cora

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hate Kelly if you want, but he still has the best arm in this SOX BP. I would have him on the PO roster. Who knows? Maybe he'll get hot at the right time. What's more worrisome than Kelly is Sale. I thought he might throw a couple of innings today. The last time he was exposed on the mound Sale's FB was 91. The excuse was mechanical problems. Well, that will be answered Friday and, hopefully, he's back to 97.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just a thought. Has any team in recent memory won 100+ games and had so many question marks concerning their BP going into the PO's like this SOX team?

Yes, last year. Houston's 2017 bullpen had a 4.27 ERA - and they were even worse in the playoffs.

 

Do you feel a little better now?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Poyner crowd may be reconsidering.

[vegasbob]

Poyner making his point.

[vegasbob]

Yes, last year. Houston's 2017 bullpen had a 4.27 ERA - and they were even worse in the playoffs.

 

Do you feel a little better now?

 

No , because Houston's BP won't be replacing ours.

Thanks, Foghorn Leghorn.

[greenmonster24]

Even though we’re resting guys getting Workman and Erod and Cuestes get lit up by Yankees make me nervous facing them in playoffs we’re resting guys so offense doesn’t worry me but pitchers still need to pitch well for the few innings there used
