Taking third strikes with Men on Base should be a kangaroo court fine

Damn these AAAA'ers.

Without them this fragile team wouldn't be where they are.

[vegasbob]

Weissert,  like Whitlock, tends to do better with a clean inning, not coming in with Men on Base

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good shut down inning by Weissert.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good to see Contreras is getting hits.

Not Perez nor Kimbrel on 1st ballot.

Chapman 50-50

Don’t see Kimbrel getting there at all 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

LH's hitting to LF is always great to see.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story continues to hit.

[FredLynn]

Story comes through for a change….I mean AGAIN 

[vegasbob]

Better late than never. Sox do tear into bullpens after the starters buffalo them for 6-7 innings

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

KC,'s BP must be a work in progress.

He can hit mistakes-like Rafaela. But if they throw sweepers outside he’s helpless .

His prepitch pose will get there, but not him

You're hopeless, but you do provide some real insight into the workings of baseball.

Since Raff hasn't played in a while, you must have a lot of unreleased anger.

That inning is a prime example as to why the Sox have very low prospects for the playoffs.

1 run in 4 innings, typical

I posted before the game that Cameron has a sub 2 ERA over the past month or so.  This was unlikely to be a high scoring game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great to see Contrares is back to making friends.

[vegasbob]

Chapman recently has had to use a lot of pitches to get 3 outs. He has not been sharp.

He hasn't lost one but he is pretty messed up right now

[oldtimer]

Worrisome wildness

[illinoisredsox]

Plate umpire didn’t wait very long to go out there.  He’s pissed right now..  This may not go well.

He’s pitched once in a week; yesterday.

Actually, the Sox have faced good starting pitchers in these last 5 games, except for Lugo.

I saw your note and respect it . Cameron pitched to form and the Sox responded weekly.

In the playoffs they will only see the best opposing pitchers, therefore home for Halloween

Who knew terrible losing teams were hiding talent.  

Could Brez have traded for one ?

Good pitching beats good hitting. That's been true forever.

One nit: the only way everyone isn’t home for Halloween is if the World Series goes 7 games.

But your real point is noted.

Have you seen their BP? Of course you have.

That is because there were no save opportunities since his team couldn't hit

Go back a little further

. The comment was he is using a lot of pitches, not very efficient,  limiting his potential appearances

[jad]

Chapman barely threw a strike the entire inning.  Good thing that high FB is irresistible.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Kudos to both Tolle and Chappy for gutting out a tough inning.
