9/21 Mets @ SOX 7:10PM

[Maxbialystock]

Some slider ERod has. He throws it to a lefty batter and gets a hard hit single.

[vegasbob]

Lift Erod now before the HR. Can't believe we will have to carry this nutless wonder into any post season games. You will not see him in the WC game, IF we hold on to that chance

[Tedballgame]

Can't let E-Rod put game out of reach.

[Tedballgame]

E-Rod chokes in huge game.

[TylerD]

On the board at least.

[Old Red]

Can’t even get through 5🙈.

[Maxbialystock]

Mets overall have significantly better pitching than the Sox, who have significantly better hitting. As the saying goes, good pitching usually beats good hitting.

 

The Mets have been helped by the fact that ERod just stunk tonight. He said as much to Cora when he was in the dugout after the 4th inning.

[iortiz]

Here comes Brasier. Fasten your seatbelts gentlemen.

[Maxbialystock]

Can’t even get through 5.

 

He was unbelievably lucky to get through 4.

[Tedballgame]

Braiser!

[Maxbialystock]

Brasier stupidly throwing nothing but fastballs, which is working like gangbusters!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lift Erod now before the HR. Can't believe we will have to carry this nutless wonder into any post season games. You will not see him in the WC game, IF we hold on to that chance

 

The SOX starters are fine for a one game play-in. When they play more than two games, then they will be in trouble.

[vegasbob]

Brasier isn't good by almost any stretch but he gassed Baez pretty sharply, maybe can save Erod's F'up inning

[Maxbialystock]

Alonso of the Mets looked exactly like JDM on that slider away.

[Tedballgame]

That was huge.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Here comes Brasier. Fasten your seatbelts gentlemen.

 

 

I had my seatbelt fastened as soon as E-rod started.

[iortiz]

Xander almost miss that routine throw to first lol!

[vegasbob]

Alonso of the Mets looked exactly like JDM on that slider away.

 

Maybe we should trade for Alonso so we can have bookends in the dugout

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice job by Brassier.

[d-money]

It’s time to take a lead!!! Let’s go!!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

He was unbelievably lucky to get through 4.

 

ERod's miraculous start. He stinks up the place and still goes 4.1 giving up just 2 runs. Great throw by Kike and great relief by Brasier bails ERod out.

 

Score is 2-1, folks. This game is definitely winnable. All it takes is for the top six hitters to, you know, actually hit the dadgum ball.

[Maxbialystock]

Kike saves ERod in the 4th inning and ties the game in the bottom of the 5th!!!!

[vegasbob]

Now follow up Kike's blast with 3 or 4 more while Stroman is distracted

[moonslav59]

Kike da man,

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike!!

[iortiz]

Been missing those Kike's bombs. He had been quiet since the TDL.

[Maxbialystock]

Houdini had nothing on Alex Cora, who once again left in ERod when none of us would have and then pulled him at just the right moment so that Brasier could get the final 2 outs.

[vegasbob]

Sox have 5 hitters with OPS's over .800 and 2 more at .790 in the lineup. Sooner or later they will come alive.

[TylerD]

Get to their bullpen

[Tedballgame]

Kyle Schwarber=Professional Hitter
