The Sox had opportunities to score big against King. Now the Padres' BP is spanking them for that mistake.

Yep.  OB and Merloni said their pen was excellent, but what we’ve seen tonight is sick.

With 6 walks maybe Giolito stayed in too long, but you know Cora and his pitching coach want to get as many outs from him as possible. Padres bullpen, as already noted, is better than the Sox.  

Anthony 0/4 with 2 K's.  Bregman 3/3.  

Those batter timeouts by the Red Sox sure are effective.  They're basically a white flag.  

Somewhere today I opined the Sox have a deep lineup, but tonight Bregman and Duran have 5 of the Sox 6 hits.  Leadoff man Anthony is 0/4 with 2 K's.

They do have a good lineup, the Padres also have a very good pitching staff, especially their pen. They missed an opportunity with King being rusty/coming off injury

CB tightening up again. Could have called strike 3 twice and not been much wrong

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Could you imagine shooting pool in a bar with Hicks playing darts nearby?

[d-money]

4 scoreless innings. Can they score a damn run.  One

Let's shoot for 2

[Jasonbay44]

Hamilton might get called out but I really don’t get how Xander is allowed to shove Hamilton off the bag like that 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No way Hamilton screws this up.

Way.

[Jasonbay44]

If called out - I truly don’t get how you can use a barehand and push a guys hand off the bag? Like how is that legal

Horseshit call at 2nd by review. Bogey lifted him off

Hamilton may suck, but the show made a lot of money.

Doesn't Miller need TJS soon?

Too bad Hamilton was out, but the Padres bullpen remains omnipotent.  Toro and Abreu both K.

It's on his bucket list.

[Nineintime]

Hamilton had one job to do and couldn’t do it. Why is this dude taking a roster spot?

[Jasonbay44]

They probably don’t score anyway off Miller but that Hamilton out call is so bad.

He's the son Cora never had..

I will contend Ham stole the base and Bogaerts lifted his hand off for a microseconds

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's hard to believe this is still a one run game 

[Deja Doh]

I don't understand why Hicks is in the game in 8th with us down by 1.

Nice rant, but he’s safe if Bogaerts doesn’t push him off the base (which is against the rules).

 

[YastrzemskI]

Going to the game tomorrow.. hopefully going for a sweep!!

Because you can’t use Whitlock and Chapman every night.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I seriously doubt Padres' fans go to the games because of the Padres' offense.

[Jasonbay44]

Thank god Isaiah Campbell is warming up

[Jasonbay44]

As much as he normally sucks, Hicks did his job tonight

Going also but more likely to see the Sox win the series
