More than likely they walk both of them. So what does Bogaerts do? He struck out the previous time in with a chance to win it (albeit against Jansen). We know JDM grounded out weakly to end the inning.
Umm, he managed the pen to 6 scoreless innings until Neck Tat took the mound.
There is a lot of blame to go around in this one. Bogie’s error cost 3 runs. Leaving the winning run on 2nd in 3 straight innings. Base running blunders. Cora’s bullpen management isn’t one of them.
Huge advantage for the Dodgers from here forward. Sox have Walden and Neck Tat left in the pen; not great choices and the bad guys have 3-4-5 coming up.
I’ll say it again; the Dodgers are really good at fouling off tough pitches. You may get them eventually, but they are going to make you work to do it.
Ryu is a damn good pitcher. You’ll note his ERA coming in was sub 2.00. I don’t care what league you’re in, that’s dealing and he’s been doing it all year.
Joe Morgan? You’ve got to be kidding me. His analysis came down to no hitter ever got a base hit on anything other than a mistake by the pitcher, except if you played for the Big Red Machine.
Miller was excellent; I still remember the couple years he spent as the Red Sox radio guy.
