5/15 vs Rockies

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I have a feeling that what worked for Cora last year at a .667 pace probably won't work nearly as well this year. Of course, that won't make him do anything different.

[illinoisredsox]

Correct, it's on Cora and despite 7 guys in the pen, two of who are consistently unreliable, he uses his #1 choice who pitched 2 innings last night. I'll give Alex the latitude that EROD could start the inning and try to get the first guy out. When that failed EROD had to come out then. There's the fail. Now with Barnes and Walden used up, how do you finish this potential extra inning game ?

 

Walden faces one hitter. He’s pitched 2 innings or more a few times this year. How is he used up?

[jung]

Well the end of the 7th certainly sucked. I guess we can say the whole 7th sucked.

[Maxbialystock]

Cora leaving ERod in one batter too long tonight.

 

Three too many batters. ERod had no business pitching the 7th. Ditto Barnes.

[d-money]

This team is having a tough time scoring runs against Rockies pitching late in these games.

[jung]

Not everything works. Give me a tie game, two guys on in the bottom of the 7th with one out and Red Sox top of the order coming up against the opponent pen and I will take that every day and twice on Sunday, especially at home with last bats. Edited May 16, 2019 by jung

Chavez definitely embarrassing himself at 2nd.

[d-money]

Come on score some runs! Let’s win the game. It’s a big game.

The Rockies came in 2 games under .500 so you know their pitching must suck. Apparently it doesn't suck as much as Seattle's.

[jung]

Wanted nothing to do with Moreland late in this game with only one half inning of offense left for the Rockies.

[jung]

Gotta' get Oberg out of there if Black has any hope.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Why did Cora wait for Moreland to reach 2nd before pinch running for him? Well, he must have his reasons.

[jung]

That bow in the Fenway RF wall robs Rafi. Gotta' hit it a long way to that part of Fenway to get it out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That drive by Chavez was measured at 2 feet with an EV of 1 mph.

[d-money]

This team is melting down offensively. Not scoring runs.

[d-money]

Here comes the dreaded 9th inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Walden going for his 6th win.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And the K's just keep on comin'.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vaz has a higher BA than Betts, Beni, and x-man.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rockies have to be approaching record for most strikeouts in two consecutive games.

[jung]

Win it here boys. I don't want to see Hembree for the 10th even starting a clean inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Let's go SOX. Walden deserves this win.

[d-money]

Nice job by Walden!!!!! Plz win the damn game here. No extra innings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Win it here boys. I don't want to see Hembree for the 10th even starting a clean inning.

 

When OB mention Hembree, I flash back to Alan Embree from the 2004 WC.

[jung]

The Vaz shot to RF would have been out in some parks THAT SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS as well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Vaz shot to RF would have been out in some parks THAT SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS as well.

 

Without mentioning names that park has the nerve to call itself a stadium.

[Tedballgame]

The Vaz shot to RF would have been out in some parks THAT SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS as well.

So would Dever's last one.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

These Rockies can leave now. Super annoying.

[jung]

Is there a large enough ambulance to take care of that disaster in LF?

[Tedballgame]

Bad break there. If the ball stays in play it's game over.
