Red Sox (Bello) vs Orioles (Enns): 8/27/25, 6:35pm

[FredLynn]

I actually was going to call that, sarcastically.

Great job!

Get Chapman up

[Maxbialystock]

Rafaela critics, please identify yourselves right now.  I know who you are, but I want everyone to know--you cretins.

Possible the biggest dinger of this season, given all that has gone before in this game.  

[moonslav59]

This is a storybook inning.

Magically, Rafaela is back to the league norm of .720 with one swing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was Akin's 1st HR with his change up this season.

He was Akin for a breakin'.

Now that's what you do with mistakes.

Is Raffys celebration a needle in the arm?  Steroids? Meth? Heroin? Have to admit it’s different. 

[Maxbialystock]

That's at least 2 hard hit outs by Wong.

Chapman, please be Chapman tonight.

That was akin to a bad pitch

I kept saying he had 2 great months in June and July, which I thought were hopeful signs.  August has been awful, but tonight Rafaela was right back in June-July with a double and a dinger and 2 gigantic rbi's.  

 

[Nineintime]

Chapman’s  repertoire is so much more diverse this year. Makes his fastball that more effective f

Anything to disparage Rafaela. Got it.

It was word play.  Relax.  Good grief

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Those full counts would be considered drama by Chapman.

[FredLynn]

Great win!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great win.

Oh, stop it.  He didn't make any errors,passed balls, our letting a ball drop between 2 outfielders, both of whom could have caught it.  He isn't one of our 2 best hitters, both of whom struck out with men on 1st and 3d and no one out (for Anthony) in the 8th.   Tonight this is all on the lineup who have played like crap.  

He should have sent Hamilton. That’s what he should have done and that’s what I’m talking about, but it is now meaningless, somehow we won this one lol

[Maxbialystock]

Humoungous guts by the pitching staff and that one incredible, beautiful, decisive swing by Rafaela.

A game to remember.

I still thing some of our guys are tired.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

1st time 14 games over .500 this season.

[iortiz]

The series could have gone either way honestly but we are 3-0, and that my friends, injects a lot of confidence moving forward, especially since we are about to recover Abreu and Refsnyder.

When?  Wasn't Hamilton the guy nailed on an attempted steal?

Story has to be.  He has t had a day off in some time and Bregman might be too

Refsnyder tomorrow I think, but Abreu is TBD.  Could not agree more tonight's win was huge.
