8/27 @ Cleveland

[moonslav59]

You just know the big O is going to walk somebody.

[Tedballgame]

Walks the lead off guy. OMG!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Ottavino walks the leadoff batter because he can't control that slider.

[d-money]

Pussy pitching by this pen once again. I would take him out right now.

[Tedballgame]

Who will pitch the 10th?

[moonslav59]

Who will pitch the 10th?

 

Nobody

lol

[iortiz]

If you can not put out the bottom of the order of the Cleveland Guardians you are garbage.

Learn the rules; a pitcher has to face 3 hitters unless he ends the inning.

[d-money]

Get him out!!!

[Maxbialystock]

That was an incredibly gutsy slider for the 2d K. Gutsy call by Vazquez and great pitch by Ottavino.

[iortiz]

A 171 hitter at plate. Can Ottavino put this guy out?

No s*** Sherlock. This BP hasn’t been good lately if you haven’t been watching.

It was the 4, 5, 6 hitters, but you are beyond numbers, right now.

 

LOL!

[iortiz]

Phew! A win!

Yep

[TylerD]

What a win!! Out hit. And out played for the most part lmao but a win!!

[Maxbialystock]

Ball game!!!!

 

This absolutely was one of those incredible comeback wins that can give a team real confidence.

[a700hitter]

Nice win and Travis Shaw didn’t realize that it was the last out.

[moonslav59]

Huge win!

LOL!

 

After the walk? LOL

[Oscars]

Great pitched game by the Sox

[Tedballgame]

I think you were replying to sarcasm.

[mvp 78]

Scary. OttaviNOIDEAWHEREITISGOING

[d-money]

Finally they get a damn save. Go sawx!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

I misread what you said and agree overall the bullpen has stunk it up for several games, with Barnes being the biggest culprit by far.

 

Therefore I am astounded that in the last three games it has been very good except for that disastrous 9th inning--shades of Barnes--by Robles, which cost us that game which also included a tying 2 run dinger by Shwarber in the 9th.

With Ottavino pitching my heart was in my mouth. Could he throw strikes? Could he hold a runner on base? not so much but he did get the three outs. A miracle win with the lowly guys contributing and the pitching just good enough.

He’s done the job most of the time, but he doesn’t seem to have many clean innings.

That leadoff walk was awful, but after that Ottavino was masterful even though he's lousy at holding runners on.

[moonslav59]

After the walk? LOL

 

The walk was to the 4th slot. the next guys were 5, 6, 7 not 7, 8, 9, but yes, LOL!
