7/29 SOX @ Giants 7:15PM ET

[d-money]

Sox pitching has done their part tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Someone should notify the SOX this isn't a getaway game.

Someone should notify the SOX this isn't a get away game.

 

Sometimes you just have to credit the other teams pitching.

[illinoisredsox]

If the SOX finish these 6 games on the west coast 3-3, I'll be satisfied.

 

Definitely

Sometimes you just have to credit the other teams pitching.

 

I agree in most cases, but their history playing on the west coast is pretty much on display tonight.

This too.

[d-money]

Well the pitching battled all game. That’s for sure.

[Jasonbay44]

Big hit by Duran, score him!

[Jasonbay44]

Justin Turner is so clutch!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unbelievable!

[Jasonbay44]

Jesus Christ, Refsnyder wasn’t even close.

 

One thing the Sox need to upgrade is a pinch runner, or at least get someone with some more speed off the bench.

[redsoxrules]

How you even running on this guy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If he keeps it's up, Duran may be the face of the Red Sox.

[Jasonbay44]

This comeback is even more impressive considering it was against Doval. He is one of nastiest pitchers in baseball.

[wyo-sox]

I think he has been for me personally this year.

[wyo-sox]

We pull out the win tonight.... big win... very big win.

[d-money]

Big inning coming up here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This comeback is even more impressive considering it was against Doval. He is one of nastiest pitchers in baseball.

 

Very little in this game has made much sense.

[Jasonbay44]

Very little in this game has made much sense.

 

It’s been a very very odd game.

[Jasonbay44]

Well so much for that comeback

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That truly sux. Ended up being a west coast game after all.

[wyo-sox]

We pull out the win tonight.... big win... very big win.

 

And if for some reason... we make it to extra innings and the very first pitch is a walk off home run.... now that would be horrible.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only good news I have to report is tomorrow's game won't be on ESPN.

[Maxbialystock]

Great game despite outcome. Paxton's gutsy start--1 run in 5 IP--was overcome by Sox lousy bullpen and, until the incredible 9th inning rally around Duran's fantastic clutch double, and weak hitting. I do not believe Jansen can be good 2 nights in a row because this has happened before this season. He was terrific last night, but he relies too much on that fastball, which is what Davis was looking for.

 

And a terrific 5 game winning streak!!!

 

Get 'em tomorrow.

 

Devers is 0 for 8 in San Francisco, but coming into tonight his OPS for July was 1.101.

[redsoxrules]

Jansen's number are s*** when he pitches consecutive games

[moonslav59]

What a game. I thought the magic was going to carry us to an undeserved win, and it almost did.

 

Turner has been such a force on this team- on the field and in the clubhouse. This season is no fluke, either. He's been one of MLB's most consistently good hitters for about 10 years.

 

Yoshida drew the big walk, and Duran came through with the nice double.

 

Jansen has been pretty solid, all year, so it's hard to put the loss all on him.

 

Paxton showed some guts.

 

Lets win the series, tomorrow.

Man, you called it on Turner heating up in July: .350 BA, .400/.600/1.000... 25 RBI

 

Compare to Casas, now getting national notice: .350 BA .451/.800/1.251... 17 RBI

I could have been wrong, but Turner has almost always done great in the second half, and last year was huge.

 

His OPS has gone down like 6 straight years, but he was great6 years ago and the decline has been slow.

 

Casas has carried us.

 

Duran has shocked us.

 

Bello has impressed us.

 

Crawink have boosted us.

 

See what good farm infusion can do to a team?

 

(Even Murphy, Walter,Bernardino and EValdez have helped.)
