7/20 Red Sox in Chavez Ravine, LAD

[FredLynn]

Wink about to give it up

[vegasbob]

Winckowski better find a DP ball in his hand. He is no longer a reliable out getter. He became a nibbler

 

Ok, so he got the DP, but it was a poor flip to Wong

[d-money]

Not even the heart of the lineup.

[FredLynn]

Bye bye Red Sox

Game over

[FredLynn]

Wink lucked out. Almost stole defeat from the jaws of victory.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Better to be lucky than good.

[moonslav59]

Wink the magician!

[vegasbob]

Bello can't go past 5 IP.

 

Before today:

6.43 7th inning

6.43 6th inning

 

And it is not the pitch count. He needs a lot of work over the next winter to be able to reach 100 pitches/6-7 innings

[d-money]

Wink really dodged a bullet.

[d-money]

Would be nice if they can get an extra run here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Keep up the reverse phycology.

 

 

 

Try anything if it works.

[d-money]

Just can’t get that extra run.

[moonslav59]

Really?

 

OMG!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of screwball pitchers, Mike Cuellar, one of the four 20 game winners on the '71 O's, had a great one. He threw it about 60% of the time.

[d-money]

I just knew it.

[d-money]

The lack of those extra runs had killed this team in this series thus far.

[FredLynn]

Wonderful

So they waited one extra inning to blow it

[vegasbob]

Our well rested closer grooved one to his asswipe buddy, Kike

[BOSOX11]

Cora is such a freaking idiot to bring in Kenley. As a former Dodger, LA has his number.

[d-money]

Cora is such a freaking idiot to bring in Kenley. As a former Dodger, LA has his number.

 

 

Why has it been so difficult for the sox to score this extra runs this series?

[d-money]

f***ing terrible all around.

[d-money]

Do your f***ing job Jansen.

[d-money]

What a f***ing implosion by this guy.

[Maxbialystock]

Two straight games the Sox get quality starts by Pivetta and Bello only to have the bullpen blow leads both times.

[moonslav59]

Freeman up again.

[FredLynn]

Last batter

[Maxbialystock]

What a f***ing implosion by this guy.

 

It is not, repeat, not an implosion. This is exactly what Jansen throws every game. The amazing thing is how often it works.

[BOSOX11]

It was sheer luck that Freeman didn't end this cluster f*** with one good swing.

[moonslav59]

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

 

(Better get 2!)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kenley faced 3 terrible batters in a row and gave up a HR and a double. Well, s*** happens.
