10/10 ALDS Game 3 vs Rays

[d-money]

Not an ideal start by eovaldi. He better settle

Down.

[illinoisredsox]

And the first Negative Nellie appears.

[Maxbialystock]

Rasmussen's 37th postseason game.

[Oscars]

Swing at strikes Verdugo , that was ball 3

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Rasmussen's 37th postseason game.

 

36 were in Little League and High School. He made his bones in chemistry class, dissecting frozen amphibians.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing that no team in these PO's has more experience being behind early than the SOX.

[Maxbialystock]

Rasmussen seems to have better command and Eovaldi better stuff.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I'm guessing that no team in these PO's has more experience being behind early than the SOX.

 

They still have to prove they can win an ALDS game in a ballpark that's not a circus tent.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Finally, Eovaldi issues his first walk and bounced pickoff throw in the postseason. Get those out of the way early, so the comebackers can go to work.

[d-money]

Eovaldi has to keep us in this damn game.

[d-money]

And the first Negative Nellie appears.

 

I said nothing . Again keep us in the game.

[Maxbialystock]

I misunderstood the WEEI announcers.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Eovaldi has to keep us in this damn game.

 

A .216 hitter is driving up his pitch count to make sure he won't go 5 innings.

[redsoxrules]

Oh zunino would you strike out already

[illinoisredsox]

These are the ABs that kill pitchers.

[OH FOY]

Nice snap on curveball.

[Maxbialystock]

Eovaldi throwing lots of strikes!!!! This is so great!!!!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Can't put him away. Not a good sign when you have five pitches.

[illinoisredsox]

A fastball up should get him; why won’t they throw it?

 

Edit - finally

[OH FOY]

Up and in he's leaning over plate.

[Maxbialystock]

Eovaldi so far averaging 7 pitches per out, which is just fine.

[redsoxrules]

A .216 hitter is driving up his pitch count to make sure he won't go 5 innings.

 

Meh, he probably won't go past 5 anyways. He got a quick hook against the Yankees and I assume Cora will manage this game the same way

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I misunderstood the WEEI announcers.

 

Thought you were joking -- which isn't a bad thing on a game thread, where sarcasm and snarks are just some ways posters get through high leverage stress...

[Maxbialystock]

Five K's in 2 innings! This game is in the bag.

[OH FOY]

Nice, get something going.

[d-money]

Let’s get that offense cranking!!!! Come on!!!!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Great pitch. And the Sox lead off the bottom of the inning with a batter hitting .800.

[redsoxrules]

Five K's in 2 innings! This game is in the bag.

 

6 actually

37 games is a huge number, so a brain fart as well.

Even better. Eovaldi is sheer perfection today. Just a tiny glitch in the 1st.

 

JDM gets another hit! He needs to trip over 2d base about every 10 games next year.
