2 for 10 RISP also gets you in these scrapes

He faced 4 batters and got 1 out. The league may be catching up to Walden.

Nice job WALDO! ((eye roll))

[oldtimer]

Came in tryiing to nibble and instead blew 2 runs without registering and out.

[Station 13]

So Brasier is in the dog house?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Walden is a nobody.

 

I beg to differ. He's been solid in the pen until tonight.

What is amazing is that a ground ball DP changes everything but you could also see that Walden had no command and was struggling from the 1st hitter. Nothing good was going to come of that

[a700hitter]

He will be out of the majors or be in a mop up role before the end of next season.

No, he'll be pitching the 9th, if he doesn't need to help Barnes

[a700hitter]

His ceiling is journeyman.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's a few passengers on this team. Walden, imho, is not one of them.

[vegasbob]

Barnes who can throw mid 90's+ relies on that f***ed up knuckle curve. Maybe he is setting up the DP. Sorry for not understanding Matt's tactics

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, why didn't Cora allow Price to go 7? Is he still resting these guys for the PO's?

Cora believes that Workman needs a clean inning because he also tends to have poor control at times. Walked one tonight but it didn't bite him

It seems like everyone in the SOX BP needs a clean inning. Nice job by Barnes.

[vegasbob]

The great escape . Good work by Barnes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's tough to have your starters go 6 when the team only has 3 guys in the BP that can be trusted.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Baserunning isn't Bogie's strong point.

[vegasbob]

A little magic by Xander ?? I have no problem with him going for second on that hit.

[vegasbob]

Ok, now Chavis comes through and becomes RBI-K_Pop

[a700hitter]

Big insurance run!

He hesitated after rounding 1st, which is why he should have been tagged out. Terrible tag attempt by Freeman. Cleveland's infield has been very helpful tonight.

[YastrzemskI]

Cześć Chavis!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Picking on Chavis is similar to picking on Walden. It makes no sense.

[Station 13]

Fenway sure gobbles up HRs in an age of HR.

Having some fun with it, after Thunder attempts once again to school me on PC type fandom.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Picking on Chavis is similar to picking on Walden. It makes no sense.

 

 

There's other players on the SOX who deserve the 'picking on' more than those two.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good for Pearce. "All we are saying is give Pearce a chance."

[vegasbob]

The Red Sox have used RF very effectively tonight, and Chavis runs like he stole home. It's a compliment

[vegasbob]

It is easy to forget that scoring from first base is a 90 yard sprint, with 2 sharp corners. try it sometime.
