Red Sox (Gray) vs Pirates (Jones): 08/15/26, 7:15 PM

[iortiz]

Seems like this has to be won by the pitching. Fasten your seatbelts gentlemen. 

[vegasbob]

Rays lose to Os

[vegasbob]

This is an easy W for Sonny.

All he has to do is throw a complete game shutout. No problem

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A great exhibition of pitching by Sonny tonight.

[vegasbob]

Has Rut boy had a hit yet or even a sac fly ?

[Tedballgame]

They cannot get a guy in from third with less than two outs to save their life

Naturally, they get a fly ball with two outs

[vegasbob]

Twice with drawn in infield, the ball was grounded right at SS . More LoB at 3rd base less than 2 outs

No to both. I can still hear chuckling from the O's FO.

[Tedballgame]

Now they will miss Whitlock

[vegasbob]

It is no longer frustrating,  this is simply players who cannot get it done vs modest competition.

He is definitely off to a slow start with the Red Sox, but I know he can hit.

I think it’s time to start trying suicide squeezes every time

Sox are used to that.

[vegasbob]

The extreme winning was not that they found themselves. it was black magic  and now they are the pumpkin

In fairness he’s just coming back from an extended stay on the IL

[Tedballgame]

Great inning by Miller. He’s already helped them more than Mayer did all season.

No one will ever fully explain that and make it believable.

That is a major point when talking about Anthony.  IKF , Story , Crochet.

If anyone expects big results. welcome to reality. These guys could not perform well after ST

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sonny Gray. Where would this team be w/o him?

[Tedballgame]

Great night for Abreu

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Abreu has been on fire.

[Tedballgame]

Sox can’t execute the sacrifice

[FredLynn]

Horrible bunt by Durbin

[vegasbob]

Phuque. Must be why we don't bunt much

[FredLynn]

Duran out. Not sure how yet

The rest of the offense has been on leave.

[Tedballgame]

Duran with a blast

[vegasbob]

Holy moly! A blazing saddle hit by Duran.

Slop like that shows up as line drives in the box score

[Tedballgame]

That’s the big hit We were all were waiting for.
