10/10 ALDS Game 3 vs Rays

[OH FOY]

Singing the Bruins Song Love it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not letting EO go 6 made manipulating the BP much tougher than it had to be.

[d-money]

This team right now is screwed right now. Cora f***ed up this game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don’t think I trust any bullpen guys besides Houck and Whitlock. I hate this bullpen

 

Don't forget Bra Man. He's been a lock the last 3 weeks.

No cora should have brung in whitlock in the 8th.

[oldtimer]

Cora f***ed up the bullpen rotation tonight. Robles and Davis should never be the top options in high leverage situations in big games.

Agreed.

[d-money]

Here we go again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Remember a Seattle team that won a crapfull and lost in first round. I think Pinella committed suicide. That day the better team who plays better is the difference.

 

Didn't say the SOX can't beat the Rays; just said it wouldn't be easy

[d-money]

Need some outs in the worse way now.

[a700hitter]

Having Nate go 6 innings would have changed this game immensely

it would have cut out the need for Robles.

[d-money]

it would have cut out the need for Robles.

 

Frankly i would have went Whitlock for the 8th and Robles for the 9th. Put Whitlock against their best hitters.

Don't forget Bra Man. He's been a lock the last 3 weeks.

 

True he’s been nasty

[a700hitter]

I don’t think I trust any bullpen guys besides Houck and Whitlock. I hate this bullpen

When your best starting pitcher is getting outs and has less than 100 pitches, you send him out for another inning to eliminate some pigs from the the bullpen rotation. 4 innings from this bullpen is too much to expect.

Walk it off in the 9th boys!!!!!

[d-money]

Need Fenway magic here now!!!! Don’t feel good about extra innings .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pulling EO after 5 and beating the Yankems is a whole lot different than doing the same against a much better team like the Rays.

[a700hitter]

Can our hitters pull Cora’s bacon out of the fire?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Strange Cora didn't PH for a hitless Arroyo. Not one of Cora's better managed games.

FWIW the Seattle Mariners have lost in the first round only once in their 45-year history (after going 90-72 in 1997):

Of course the Mariners have advanced to the postseason only four times.

 

The 2001 Seattle club lost in the American League Championship Series after going 116-46 in the regular season.

I'll bite. Who would you have used instead?

[redsoxrules]

Pivetta in now. I'm shaking my head tonight with these moves. Whitlock barely broke a sweat. Should have pitched another inning

[d-money]

Here’s the game coming up for this team.

[redsoxrules]

I'll bite. Who would you have used instead?

 

I'll bite. Whitlock for 2. Game over

[d-money]

I'll bite. Who would you have used instead?

 

Whitlock in the 8th against their best hitters. I am trying to keep the game at two runs.

[d-money]

Already a hit on Pivetta.

[d-money]

So they’re not using the runner on second base for the playoffs?

[d-money]

Get an out pivetta.

[redsoxrules]

So they’re not using the runner on second base for the playoffs?

 

No and thank f***. That rule is terrible

[a700hitter]

I'll bite. Whitlock for 2. Game over

Same here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness that Cruz has not been in his zone for a while.
