09/08 Rays Still At Fenway 7:10ET/4:10PT

Thank god Nate brought his game today. What a shame the offense isn’t.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's ruled a foul ball, so they shouldn't kick the fan out of the game.

 

Seeing as how the fool didn't catch it, the SOX should probably sign him.

[vegasbob]

The August slide was often presented as bad pitching, bullpen flops, sometimes defense, but if I had time to study it, I think the lack of hitting in close games is at least an equal culprit.

[d-money]

Feel for Nate! Nice outing.

[vegasbob]

Eovaldi pitching a gem with 89 through 6. If Cora yanks him anywhere under 100 pitches for ANYONE in that bullpen, then Alex is the idiot. At least let Nate open the 7th and see if can get 1 or 2 quick outs

4 years @ $65MM do the trick ??

Yes they should. Everyone watching at home knows he interfered.

Ya he was spectacular as he has been lately. What a shame we could t get runs for him.

The Sox have ripped at least eight rockets right at fielders. Meanwhile, the Lowe kid one-stitches his first hit the Rays' way (when they aren't hitting bombs off ERod).

[vegasbob]

Has anyone recently seen the "black" (outside edge") of the plate except on a worn down amateur field ?

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Rally-killing DPs are the only times you don't mind JD flailing and whiffing at sliders low and away.

[vegasbob]

I know RECENCY plays a big part in perception of some players contributions. What have you done for me lately ?? But JD Martinez is getting wearisome with his warning track power and DP bouncers .

[TylerD]

Nate back out.

[vegasbob]

Nate back out.

 

I approve.... for the moment

[vegasbob]

perfect defensive positioning and excellent glove by Dalbec

[d-money]

Thank you nate!!!!! Great outing.

[jung]

Geez Ellis...."You gotta' be ready for that one" to Bobby D on 99 moving away to the outer edge. Nobody hits that Ellis.

I enjoyed Ellis Burks as a player, but he is weak on commentary, all cliches

[d-money]

Such pathetic offense tonight. f***ing pathetic!

[oldtimer]

A righty in with Verdugo and Schwaber on the bench and we take 3 strikeouts. Can't win if we don't score.

'Wearisome' is the perfect word.

AT this point in time we need Denis Leary in the booth.

I agree , although I can see the benefit of waiting on those two until they get through the top to middle of lineup in the 8th/9th in case of a rally or a major earthquake whichever comes first in Boston

[redsoxrules]

Sox need this game badly. Blue Jay's winning again

He would be comic relief for our bullpen

As I say that, tie game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

EO has been the only bright spot in a dark starting staff.

[d-money]

And the Yankees just tied the jays! 3-3

[d-money]

Brett Gardner with the 3 run jack lol.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He would be comic relief for our bullpen

 

He could bring his friend Lenny Clarke to provide obnoxious remarks about the offense.
