9/29 SOX @ O's 7:05PM

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Make that prospect ARAUZ

 

I wish, but it will take someone a lot better. Unfortunately, the SOX farm isn't exactly loaded.

[vegasbob]

Went from 67 pitches to 80 very quickly, and got nobody out . 3-2 counts in the 6th will take the starch out of your shorts

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Nate escaped! Third time through the order. Now we just bring in Nelson, Honeycutt and Eckersly... and it's over. I mean: Nelson, Mike Stanton and Rivera. Or...

[Old Red]

Now here is Nate's test. Get out of the 6th with no damage. His K's are good and pitch count low at 67. Finish the 6th on 80 pitches. If a guy hits 2 fouls after 2 strikes, plunk him and move on. Don't let a grinder frustrate you, Nate. need this one big time

 

I can’t believe it a starting pitcher making through 6. A shaky 6th inning, but I’ll take it.

[vegasbob]

At 90 pitches do you let Nate start the 7th and see if he can get 1 or 2 down ? Not a great 6th but nothing was hard hit. I think Nate had a mild case of the heebeejeebies there.

Let him start the 7th. He’s better than anyone in the pen.

Do you let Eovaldi go 115-120 pitches?

But it is improving rapidly. Moving up the rankings. Lots of younger prospects.

[FredLynn]

Nate is done.

[vegasbob]

Do you let Eovaldi go 115-120 pitches?

 

Yes, up to the point of a walk or XBH.

[moonslav59]

Do you let Eovaldi go 115-120 pitches?

 

I guess that’s a firm no.

This is a must-win and the next three O's are batting .190, .193, and .224.

 

I'm not worried about having Nate available for a few frames Sunday if needed. But Cora may be...

[FredLynn]

We are going to need more than three runs.

[d-money]

Have to throw strikes with a 3-0 lead. Come on!!!!!

Nate has McKennas number.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just as W/L is a misleading stat for starters, ERA is a misleading stat for relievers.

[Tedballgame]

Bullpen has to throw strikes.

[d-money]

What’s with this team and handing out walks? !!!!!

[d-money]

It’s f***ing frustrating watching these guys give out f***ing free passes with a 3-0 lead.

[Tedballgame]

If Braiser walks this guy I am going to throw a brick through my TV

No excuse for that except he's choking.

Get him out of the f***ing game. Pussy pitching by this BP.

[TylerD]

Bullpen don’t mess this up.

[moonslav59]

Do not get to Mullins this inning.

[d-money]

f***ing Yankees again with late magic. Makes me wonder if they’re stealing signs the way they’re coming up big everytime late.

[Tedballgame]

Do not get to Mullins this inning.

 

Agreed!

[Tedballgame]

f***ing Yankees again with late magic. Makes me wonder if they’re stealing signs.

 

They have for years and MLB looks the other way as does the media.

[Tedballgame]

One more strike.

[jad]

So let me understand: if the media doesn't mention something, then it must exist?

[vegasbob]

We get to 2 strikes and the weak hitters start fouling it off
