July 4th @ Oakland

[d-money]

They’re making this guy work.

See that hitter's background? That might just be the worst hitter's background in MLB.

[SoxHop]

Best closer in the league? Not even close

 

I'm not looking it up. But how many has Barnes blown compared to the best closer. Maybe two at best. Thrill me

When Barnes hits 20 pitches level, he will implode, don't have to wait long

He's 19th in save percentage

With all that foul territory pitching half of your games in that ballpark has to lower your ERA. OTOH, as a batter playing half your games there definitely has to lower your BA.

[TylerD]

Barnes takes forever

[SoxHop]

Dammit!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's like Kimbrel never left.

[d-money]

Unreal how long it takes for this guy to get an out. They need a new closer.

[redsoxrules]

Get Josh Taylor up ffs

[SoxHop]

In Barnes I trust.

[d-money]

Need a new closer. f***ing walks.

[redsoxrules]

It's like Kimbrel never left.

 

The way Kimbrel is pitching this season I'd like to have him back

"All-star" closer does not seem to be the distinction it used to be.

[d-money]

Some of the guys at the bottom of the this lineup.

[d-money]

Put someone away!!!!!

[SoxHop]

Need a new closer. f***ing walks.

 

Personally, I think we need new fans that don't bitch so much

[bmattioli]

Throw strikes damit!!

[Jasonbay44]

Come on Matt Barnes, I’ve already been day drinking, don’t make me blackout tonight with a s***** performance

[TylerD]

Barnes scares me.

[Jasonbay44]

One more out. Come on Barnes

[vegasbob]

Matt Barnes does not have the ability or the guts to be a closer. he has sucked previously and will again and again

If only we had a true lockdown closer like Aroldis chapman

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Barnes has probably made himself unavailable tomorrow night.

[BOSOX11]

Pass the heart tonic, please.

[Jasonbay44]

You and me both lol.

 

I swearing being hammered makes the games even more stressful

[Maxbialystock]

Scary, but great.

[redsoxrules]
