9/14 -Win please?

[strek1]

Thanks Ump for that 2nd strike. We have a hard enough time scoring without bad calls from you.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yep, gotta agree Verdugo is much better out there.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Wells looks like the guy on the Pringles can.

 

[Back Bay]

Wells looks like the guy on the Pringles can.

Once you pop, you can't stop!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Duvall and Story back to back in the lineup is brutal.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Right on cue, Houck is losing it in the 5th inning.

 

[joe dokes]

Easy 3 tough 4th, and here we go......

 

[strek1]

Well at least Houck made it OUT of the 5th inning.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Nice. Houck gets out of it.

 

[strek1]

Obviously Devers is not interested in walking twice in a row. Not a single strike thrown for the K

 

[AB in DC]

Well at least Houck made it OUT of the 5th inning.

Wonder how quick a hook Cora will have for the 6th. It's Houck, and it's 1-0, but a doubleheader today and no off-days for another week.

 

[moonshotmanny]

Here comes the 6th inning, where we have been giving up the lead.

 

[joe dokes]

I have little confidence in Houck here or, in general, keeping the lead here.

 

[Stan Papi Was Framed]

I have little confidence in Houck here or, in general, keeping the lead here.

yeah, I had hoped Houck would be out for the 6th. hope it somehow turns out ok

 

[AB in DC]

LOL thanks blue

 

[strek1]

That was quite the Houdini routine

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The incomparable TANNER HOUCK!

 

[Stan Papi Was Framed]

amazing result--great job by Houck, his day should be done.

 

[Ale Xander]

Once you pop, you can't stop!

You can’t have just one, gut

 

[moonshotmanny]

Wait, we actually got through the 6th without giving up the lead?

 

[Ale Xander]

Good job Tanner

 

[Dewey Eyed Dreamer]

Can we score some runs please FFS.

 

[joe dokes]

amazing result--great job by Houck, his day should be done.

It was Bloom and his computers holding him back. Cora knows he's good for at least 130 pitches today.

 

[mauidano]

That's gonna hurt.

 

[patinorange]

Is Duvall striking out at batting practice?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Wilyer Abreu is LEGIT.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Is Story blindfolded?

 

[mauidano]

Nice to see Houck and Whitlock making it happen today. Good stories.

 

[Back Bay]

Story looking so helpless up there. It's JBJ redux.

 

[derekson]

Wilyer Abreu is LEGIT.

If he can handle RF, I'd be okay with trading Verdugo. And since he's borderline capable of playing CF, I'd think with adjustment to playing RF at Fenway regularly he'd be solid out there. Plus having an RF with a plus arm is always nice.

 

[joe dokes]

No Jansen, so Whitlock not needing 35 pitches to get through the 7th matters.

 

[mauidano]

RAFFY JR.!!!

 

[Rovin Romine]

The kids are alright.

 

[derekson]

Rafaela making perfect use of Fenway!

Did they ever get his first HR ball back? At least that one will be easy to get if not.

 

[moonshotmanny]

We add to the lead!

 

[patinorange]

Love that at bat.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

No Jansen, so Whitlock not needing 35 pitches to get through the 7th matters.

It's funny that you think anything matters. I mean, I get it. We're all here. We ought to go through the motions of analyzing the game and pitch counts and stuff like that, and pretend there's a scenario where the Yankees don't win 3-2.

It doesn't cost us anything, so why not?

 

[Sprowl]

Cedanne takes a turn as a little red Corvette.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

RAFFY JR.!!!

CEDDANNE DELIVERY

 

[Dewey Eyed Dreamer]

Yeah these games have all followed a similar pattern.

I am so sick of seeing Duvall and Story.

 

[Dewey Eyed Dreamer]

Cedanne takes a turn as a little red Corvette.

I wonder if we have enough class

 

[joe dokes]

Not watching. 316 feet. Did it hit the pole?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Not watching. 316 feet. Did it hit the pole?

A little bit past. First or second row.

Nothing really matters. Anyone can see.

Duvall is pretty slumpy, but he also has the 2nd best OPS+ on a team that can't score.

 

[mauidano]

Whitlock is cruising!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If the Sox win today -- note the if, they won't, but if they do -- should we maybe consider that they are just better without a GM? Is that an option?

 

[Dewey Eyed Dreamer]

Whitlock is cruising!

Is Cashman furiously kicking his own ass?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Nothing really matters.

Almost anyone can see

 

[simplicio]

Anyone else watching this on Amazon having random static bursts and audio dropouts?

The Front Office is top-heavy already. So many directors, assistants and opinion makers. I like that!
