Kelly comes in as fireman...throws a lit match and gasoline and somehow they manage to miss each other.

He's throwing crap. They don't have to steal signs. Get him the f*** outta' here.

You utter pile of trash. Not only does this guy fail miserably in the post season. How many times does he need to give us innings to save our pen and how often does he do that?

Price is well on his way to doing what is almost impossible...losing a game on one run HR's.

Sanchez didn't even have to try it was such a hideous pitch. That was one handed.

Price must think its Christmas eve....leaving cookies for Santa

Nice pitch David. Why don't you just throw it over the wall for him and call it even.

If Tanaka has that split you have to get him early in the count before he gets you to two strikes. Price has a much much better shot at succeeding here than in MFYankee Stadium. He can pitch to our big RF here which is how, late in his career he likes to pitch. Cole was an absolute Monster today in Houston. 12K's all swinging..... throwing 98 through the 7th inning.

Then why wait till last night to do an MRI. What MRI's are suddenly just too expensive for the Boston Red Sox? I suspect Cora expected Wright to pitch. Not sure what happened. But there is some explanation better than Wright was already in trouble and the Sox waited till last night to do an MRI.

The bullpen didn't come in and "save" that game. Sandy did. Imagine how bad that s*** show would have looked without Sandy or at least some literally crazy job by whomever was behind the plate.

I still think Cora wanted to hold onto Wright for a major innings need he sees coming in NY or maybe even a start there. It worked out...but just barely. Should not have taken Sale out when he did as there is simply no way this team moves on with its starters going 6 or less...just no way. Cora at least has to give the Starter a chance to get out of his own jam because we have absolutely nobody that can come in with ducks on the pond. Having virtually lucked out with Work in the 6th, I have no clue why Cora went back to Work for a start of a clean inning. Relief pitchers are not starters and thinking they will "work it out" over a half inning sit is just asinine. Just pick somebody and send him out there once the relief pitcher shows you he just can't get it done on that given night. Also, now you see why Managers have to go back to the same arms over and over again in the post season. Who of that bunch of trash do you think Cora has any confidence in at all out of the guys that came in relief last night? Barnes is about all that comes out of that mess and barely at that. Porcello has to start a game. The natural spot for Wright was to start the 7th and if doing fine, pitch the 8th and just take it to Kimbrel to start a clean 9th instead of the mess we got. But since Wright never got up, I have to believe Cora really sees a major innings shortfall in NY and wants him for that. If Price gets pounced on and bounced early tonight I would bet Cora will go to either Evo or Eddie and still resist the temptation to use Wright in Fenway against the MFY's. That said if we are ahead multiple runs in game two up 1-0 in games I would be tempted to use Wright in game 2 here. Sealing wins in both games and going up 2-0 would be huge for this team going to NY for game three and it would be worth the risk if we have a real lead to protect. I am so done with the give up a run to get an out bullpen. Obviously Cora was as well. He just apparently was adamant about keeping Wright for Yankee Stadium.

Thank God.

Come on Sox. At least get us one run so we don't get tied on a bloop and a blast.

No matter what happens, Cora has over-managed this game to s***

Well yea..but there is the chance that Kimbrel will walk one more guy on AND then give up a bomb.

Yup and its not so much about the ability to throw strikes. Its about the guts to throw them.

Rick got bailed out there. That was wayyyyyy ball 4

Wow...Porcello into the 8th inning of game 1. Thats encouraging.

So we are going to depend on Barnes to get three outs before they get two runs or we are going to bring Kimbrel into the 8th with ducks on the pond??? No that is Russian Roulette.

The camera just scanned past our pen on the JD hit. It looks like nobody is up!

Will this announce team ever tell us who the f*** is warming out there. You can't tell me there is nobody warming out in our pen at this point.

I agree with that. We are desperate for outs. We have to get outs to get to Kimbrel. What a complete f***ing mess. Get some runs Red Sox. I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell we get through two innings without this game being at least tied unless we get a couple runs more.

No other reason not to have used him to at least start the clean inning of the 7th. I have no clue what Cora is doing..I am just guessing here. It looks to me like Cora is playing Russian Roulette. But if he gets out of this and has the nerve to claim he planned it that way I will play Russian Roulette with all rounds chambered! Then again, I have no idea why he got Eddie up and then did not fully warm him and bring him in for the 7th.

Porcello is the game 3 starter. So I have no idea what this is...surrender...if he has to come in.

PORCELLO...now that is a surrender flag
