10/8 ALDS Game 2 @ Rays

[illinoisredsox]

I liked Devers’ approach tonight. He didn’t swing from the heels as hard as he could. He still nailed the ball twice and had a good eye as well.

Perfect situation for Barnes. No pressure, save Whitlock.

[illinoisredsox]

This is fun, but getting shutout last night only counted as 1 loss, and all these hits, and runs will only count as 1 win, and we’ll need 2 more.

 

Yep, and professional athletes (especially baseball players) tend to have short memories about individual game results.

Since the 2nd inning it's SOX 12 Rays 1.

You are so correct, but like beating the Yankees in the WC, take the good ones and maximize the enjoyment of turning them into pumpkins

[Old Red]

Hopefully we can at least get through 1 inning, before the doom, and gloom starts. Sale has to set the tone, and hopefully he will. We should know early on.

 

This seems like a long time ago. What a turnaround.

[Tedballgame]

Warm somebody up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Barnes has morphed into Andriese.

[vegasbob]

Choi is becoming one of those very average players that irritates the Red Sox

[d-money]

Can this dude get an out? How embarrassing would this be if he can’t get outs with a 8 run lead.

[jacksonianmarch]

Sox offense flexing hard. They made this a series.

[vegasbob]

Good ol' Matt, now up to 10 pitches, nobody out, full count????

[FredLynn]

One more base runner and I pull him

[BOSOX11]

I don't trust Barnes, even with an 8 run cushion.

[Tedballgame]

If they every do another Space Jam movie about baseball, it will star Matt Barnes.

[FredLynn]

Take him out

[vegasbob]

Smoltz is pointing out what is so obvious. Barnes' mechanics are very faulty, overthrowing , pulling hard to his left. Mental midget

[d-money]

Barnes is such a clown. 8 run lead and this dude is walking batters .

[vegasbob]

Forces Whitlock to get hot just in case. Matt is the head case

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, if the Giants go all the way, they will tie the SOX with most championships since 2000.

[TylerD]

f*** is Barnes garbage

Mental midget? Barnes or Smoltz? or both?

[d-money]

One more barnes. It’s not difficult dude with an 8 run lead. 😂

[BOSOX11]

I would have kept Barnes off the post season roster and kept Garrett Richards, despite the hamstring strain. Richards could out-pitch Barnes any day.

[vegasbob]

OK, so Barnes can play 1B, who knew??? Glad we have a spot for him

[Tedballgame]

Throw strikes Matt.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At this point, if Barnes was a horse, I'd probably shoot him. Edited October 9, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Take him out.

[TylerD]

Christ I hate Barnes

 

Hope we don’t see him next year.

[BOSOX11]

Barnes is such a douche.
