That's what bargain bin shopping gives you.

Dumpster Diving

At least I don't have to switch the Bruins game to see how the Sox are doing. I can concentrate on a good Boston team.

[Nick]

Definately NOT must see TV.

 

I have no interest in watching him pitch.

[iortiz]

… the worst part is that even making 7 runs wouldn’t been enough.

[Nick]

Just give me some young guy....he looks past his prime.

 

Does Bloom show his face to the position players?

[Jasonbay44]

Good for Valdez

[Tedballgame]

Turner scalded that one. Bad luck. Could have made it 7-3.

[iortiz]

What are the odds that Kluber give us one more inning?

[Tedballgame]

Dugo has to call him off that ball.

[Jasonbay44]

Duran has looked a lot better this season, both offensively and defensively

[Maxbialystock]

It's uncanny how you never miss an opportunity.

 

It's more true than not true, tonight being another example with Kluger giving up 7. In the two games McGuire started at Tampa, they scored 9 and 9 runs. Good start against the Tigers, who only scored 3--also a good game for Sale. But he also caught Sale vs. the Orioles, who score 8 runs, 7 off of Sale.

[Maxbialystock]

Dugo has to call him off that ball.

 

How do we know he didn't? What I saw was Valdez shouting and waving his arms like he had it, all of it--and he wasn't about to let someone else take away his catch. Plus the error on the grounder. An inauspicious first game, but he's only 24, so he needs more seasoning. Another 5 years should do it.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice grab by Dugo!

 

And this time Valdez didn't wave him off. He wanted to, but then decided to let Dugo get one.

Ryan Brasier is an outstanding pitcher. Give that man an extension

[iortiz]

old wounded Kluber and 9 lives Brasier is the perfect recipe for a s***** show, and... keeps going.

Wonder what Blooms sees on Brasier. Seriously, our farm is that bad?

[Tedballgame]

Braiser with his typical outing. Put a nail in the coffin.

[Tedballgame]

Paxton gave up 7 earned runs in 2/3 of an inning tonight in AAA. He's ready to join the Red Sox.

It's called Bloom's obsession.

[Tedballgame]

I hate the Twins hat. Why do teams keep changing things when they already have a good established hat or uniform?

[vegasbob]

They are losing to Panthers in mid 2nd

[Tedballgame]

Correa has saved at least 3 runs tonight with good plays.

[vegasbob]

Could be. Very little MLB ready at WooSox right now . Give it a year or maybe two

[Tedballgame]

They are losing to Panthers in mid 2nd

 

Not anymore:)

Bruins tie it up on a shorthanded goal by Marchand. Great player even without Bergeron

[vegasbob]

Braiser with his typical outing. Put a nail in the coffin.

 

To me, it's on Cora/Bush. When Brasier or any reliever has to go 31 pitches, it is too much and they bleed runs. When you see a marginal guy like Brasier get in trouble , pull them, they don't get better

Then Ullmark gives up a very soft goal to go down 2-1

Then Bertuzzi deflects a shot in at the end of a PP. Go Bruins.

[vegasbob]

Tapia still showing some deceptive stats but trust me this guy is a fraud, like Kluber will prove to be

[Maxbialystock]

Braiser with his typical outing. Put a nail in the coffin.

 

What a crock! Kluber nailed that coffin up when he gave up 7 runs in the first 3 innings. The Twins have the best pitching, lowest ERA, in MLB, so the game was over going into the 4th inning. That's why Cora let Kluber pitch two more innings--to save the bullpen a little bit.

 

As for Brasier, he has also had some good outings this season, including a really good save. Tonight was the right game to screw up.
