7/20 Red Sox in Chavez Ravine, LAD

[Maxbialystock]

The Sox bullpen is broken, period. In these two games the starters have gone 12 innings and given up 3 runs and the bullpen has gone 6 innings and given up 4 runs.

 

And I left out that Winck got incredibly lucky to escape with that GIDP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Better score, this inning. It won't be easier than now.

 

(Better get 2!)

 

What? Man on second with no outs. Piece of cake.

[moonslav59]

BAM! Cradle rock style!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It appears Tyler's in a hot streak.

[moonslav59]

Can we now stop with the O'Neill bashing?

[BOSOX11]

Will wonders never cease!

[Maxbialystock]

O'Neill just might have a hot bat.

 

So, should Jansen be asked back to pitch the 10th?

 

Better still, how about an encore from Bernardino?

[bmattioli]

Please no Jansen in the bottom of 10..

[Maxbialystock]

Can we now stop with the O'Neill bashing?

 

For tonight, absolutely.

[Maxbialystock]

Please no Jansen in the bottom of 10..

 

I agree, but he has the Sox bullpen's only $16M/season pitching arm. In fact, if we ignore Sale, $17M, and Giolito, $19M, he has the most expensive arm the Sox are paying for this season. Giolito is on the IL and Sale is on the BL (Braves List).

It appears not.

[vegasbob]

Well, Tyler responded well to being called out for slumping like wet cement . Good for the team because they now really need this game.

[d-money]

Can they finish?

[BOSOX11]

Can they finish?

 

Flip a coin.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

O'Neill just might have a hot bat.

How bout Zack?

[vegasbob]

Please no Jansen in the bottom of 10..

 

Keep noticing how Jansen rarely has a clean inning. As Max says, he throws the same pitch over and over, but gets away with it often.

 

Weissert trying to end it. He is 1 for 4 in save attempts.

[BOSOX11]

Where did a put my bottle of Rolaids?

[d-money]

They never make it easy.

[d-money]

Not even the heart of the lineup.

[d-money]

No f***ing walks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

These Goodwill relievers aren't sustainable.

[moonslav59]

Sickening.

[d-money]

You deserve to lose a game like this. Seriously.

[vegasbob]

Weissert is still not the answer to any question I know. He is great at getting to 2 strikes , then folds like a tent. When did Kike learn not to chase. Surely wasn't in Boston. f*** this BP with Martin and Slaten out.

[d-money]

Bottom of the lineup doing all this damage.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox bullpen stinks. Sox bullpen stinks. Sox bullpen stinks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wonder why the SOX got rid of Kike? Oh, now I remember. He sucked.

[d-money]

This game doesn’t look so great. Can they score in the 11th? These relievers stink!

[moonslav59]

It seems like it's Abreu or bust, tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

Can someone explain how the call against Kike at 2b wasn't reversed? He looked safe by a mile.
