[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Orsillo loves Machado because Orsillo hates Boston.

[vegasbob]

That was a pitiful effort, OB

[Jasonbay44]

Terrible job by Hamilton

Absolute void on this roster 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hamilton has to have embarrassing pictures of JH.

Cora's gonna have to let his love of Hammy stop.

[Jasonbay44]

I have a feeling if they don’t score here, this game is over 

[vegasbob]

Abreu needs to get the HR here 

[vegasbob]

Might be tough to win from here

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seldom see the ghost runner start at 2nd and die at 2nd .

But then can a ghost runner actually die?

Here’s my trivia question: what percentage of extra inning games are won by the home team 2025?

[Jasonbay44]

Well that was expected 

[vegasbob]

Why was the infield in ? That was a DP possible or at least.out at 3rd

[FredLynn]

Answer: 49.3%

[YastrzemskI]

Disgusting 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I picture Bogey doing a lot more ghost running as his contract gets older.

[vegasbob]

Put that one on AC staying with Gio and multiple RISP situations with no production 

[d-money]

Predictable once they didn’t score in the 10th. Just win the series tomorrow. All theee games count. Can’t f*** around.

I don't know. Here's my question: what percentage of walk offs are won by the home team?

He should be sent down for sheer stupidity on that AB.

For me it’s counterintuitive. But the numbers don’t lie.

[Maxbialystock]

Despite the loss, still a heckuva game.  Hamilton is a clown.  Can't steal 2b and can't bunt.  

That was a double play ball hit to Bregman except it bounced over his head/glove/arm.

Guy is literally useless. Wonder why he’s still on the roster.
