July 22: BOS (Houck) vs NYY (Montgomery)

[TylerD]

Missed by a mile. Let’s go bats.

[illinoisredsox]

In all fairness while Cora must of the times takes good decisions, he wasn’t that sharp tonight. He could have done better here and there specially when Dalbec was at 2B with 2 outs.

 

Like I said earlier, not in the 7th.

 

And does Duran get a hit in the 9th like Dalbec did?

[d-money]

Well they better find a way and tie this up at least.

[moonslav59]

Bogey needs to rise above the bum wrist and get a hit. (or, at least get Devers to 3B.)

[iortiz]

How was that a Cora mistake?

 

The second-guessing is getting absurd.

He should have PRed Dalbec with Duran.

[a700hitter]

Stupid extra inning rule. Barnes doesn’t give up a hit or a walk, but he could get the loss.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This putting a guy on 2nd in extra innings is a joke. If fans don't like a longer game they can go home or they can turn the channel on their TV. Why make baseball a clown show?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sometime I'll mention how much I hate 7 inning games.

[iortiz]

Like I said earlier, not in the 7th.

 

And does Duran get a hit in the 9th like Dalbec did?

 

In that moment it would have been a 2-1 game going to the 8th. That is another kind of game moving forward.

[illinoisredsox]

He should have PRed Dalbec with Duran.

 

He did, in the 9th. And it worked.

[TylerD]

Tie game!!

[iortiz]

4-4 after 2 wild pitches lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Scored from 2nd w/o any bat contact. Can we put another guy on 2nd?

[iortiz]

He did, in the 9th. And it worked.

 

I meant in the 7th.

[moonslav59]

JD Magic Time!

[a700hitter]

Scored from 2nd w/o any bat contact. Can we put another guy on 2nd?

LOL! That might be next year’s rule.

[iortiz]

Stupid extra inning rule. Barnes doesn’t give up a hit or a walk, but he could get the loss.

 

Still Barnes should have SO Gardner and he didn’t.

 

Said that, yeah I hate this format.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Scored from 2nd w/o any bat contact. Can we put another guy on 2nd?

 

I guess we can.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX bat boy is actually bat man.

[iortiz]

JD Magic Time!

 

… and with X at 2nd. We better win this.

[iortiz]

… and with X at 2nd. We better win this.

 

Now at 3rd lol

[a700hitter]

… and with X at 2nd. We better win this.

Now at 3rd.

[TylerD]

This pitcher doing all the work for us haha

[iortiz]

This guy is lost lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kriske is pretty frisky with those throws to the plate.

[illinoisredsox]

I meant in the 7th.

 

I know you did. And I said at the time the 7th was too early.

 

Years ago, the Sox would sometimes run for Ortiz in the 8th. Often as not, his spot would come up in the 9th or 10th snd he’s on the bench. Never pinch run until you have to.

[a700hitter]

This guy needs some sticky stuff.

[Maxbialystock]

Absolutely stunning rally in the bottom of the 9th. Verdugo, in a slump, gets his 3d single. Dalbec, the worst hitting first baseman in the history of baseball (not just MLB) gets his 2d single. And superstud Hernandez brings them home to tie the game.

 

No one but no one on this thread had any faith this would happen. Except for one guy, moonslav, who is carrying this team and talksox.

[illinoisredsox]

What’s the record for wild pitches in an inning?

[iortiz]

Damn it JD!
