Shane Greene pitching for Detroit vs Yanks, gets 2 outs in the 9th, then walks the third batter. 2 runs later he finally closes the game out. The Red Sox will still be 7.5 up.
Fooling around with sub .500 teams and expecting the 6 or 7 run inning is not a brilliant strategy for playoff baseball. I can see why the Sox players may not have much urgency at this point of a great season but it is sometimes hard to flip the switch when you have been coasting for a month.
Have the thought that Cora will let his 7 run rule prevail today to stay out of the pen, although he has Cuevas and Poyner before having to go to velazquez.Poyner up in the pen.
Been stealing candy from a kid with Johnson most of the year. Now running out of luck. First innings where Red Sox rarely score and our pitchers give up runs are too common
It's 11:30, how long can you honor Harrelson ? His highlight reel can't be over 45 seconds, and if they show his announcing gems then just another 30 seconds.
If they had just traded him, then this string would not have been necessary. A 3 year dissection of the trade would have supplanted it. Goodbye to any idea of trading JBJr for 2018, he is earning his keep in a big way.
