Playing with fire will eventually get one burned.

I hear you but object to the the word "failed."  Winning a series is not a failure.  

Whoa!!  That was a very dangerous HBP by Crochet.

In the 5th with the first 2 men on. 

 

True we won the series but all these games are right now playoff games. 

[Maxbialystock]

Looks like big trouble for Crochet and the Sox. 

[d-money]

Yeah they’re losing this one witj their best pitcher on the mound. Crochet is also playing for the cy young.

The pressure put on a pitcher when his team's offense continues to struggle doesn't always end with positive results.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story saves the inning.

We got lucky there. Can this offense start to wake up? Just pathetic again.

Great plays, catch and throw.  2-2.  Crochet is definitely struggling.  

Now we got a bunch of righty bats going against a righty reliever.  

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cow makes udderly tricky play.

[d-money]

Way to f*** up a win by crochet. 

[Maxbialystock]

Bregman's slump continues.  

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You know you're an Ace when you give up two runs after 5 and everyone is worried about your stuff.

I'd blame the anemic offense before stupidly blaming the Sox Ace.

[Maxbialystock]

Gotta admire Crochet.  a ton of guts.  A quality start on an off day.  

[Maxbialystock]

You couldn't pay me enough to ump behind the plate.  

[moonslav59]

Somebody has to tell Rafaela to not be so patient and swing more!!!

LOL!

[Maxbialystock]

Good at bat by Garcia--plus he got a hit earlier.  

[mvp 78]

Sox haven’t won the last game of a series since 8/3. That’s 7 series ago.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Breggy gets back on offensive track soon because this Sox offense can't afford him being in a cold streak.

Well, you could be wrong a lot and not be fired.

[Maxbialystock]

Hicks The Frightener now pitching for the good guys.  At least he frightens me.  

[Hitch]

Hicks. Well it was nice dreaming of a win there for a moment.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

High leverage Hicks. He's never been a called that.

True.  I honestly think he could be tired, but I trust Cora's judgment on that.  

Freddie Hicks up to his usual routine.  

[moonslav59]

Hicks should be pitching for the O's.
