8/26/23 - LAD @ Sox: Fight Back

[YTF]

Llovera for the save?

Hopefully it won't be a save situation.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Maybe Schreiber

 

[katnado]

Schreiber or Llovera to blow it in the 9th are the options

 

[ilol@u]

Wong had zero chance

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Oh, Jansen isn't available.

So Cora really screwed thsi one up today. He could have double switched the pitcher's spot to Refsnyder's spot.

 

[shawnrbu]

Schreiber was up first.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Schreiber will be fine.

 

[AMS25]

Llovera warming in the bullpen.... Shudder....

 

[E5 Yaz]

Geesh, just got back ... so, is Devers hurt or not?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Schreiber was up first.

Maybe Llovera warming in case someone hit a slam?

 

[Rovin Romine]

Dugie can put this out of reach. . .

 

[staz]

90 mph meatball there

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, Jansen isn't available.

So Cora really screwed thsi one up today.

Jansen being unavailable makes leaving Whitlock in so long make sense, in my opinion. I am the first to question his bullpen use, but I think he did the right thing there. I may have let Martin hit, though, to be honest.

 

[Ale Xander]

Geesh, just got back ... so, is Devers hurt or not?

Only the X-ray machine knows

 

[LogansDad]

Geesh, just got back ... so, is Devers hurt or not?

Hurt? Yes.

Injured? Maybe.

He stayed in the game, though.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Geesh, just got back ... so, is Devers hurt or not?

Oh. he's going to be very sore at best. Need to apply some leeches to handle the swelling overnight.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Take one for the team!

 

[derekson]

Jansen being unavailable makes leaving Whitlock in so long make sense, in my opinion. I am the first to question his bullpen use, but I think he did the right thing there. I may have let Martin hit, though, to be honest.

He should have double switched Martin in.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Maybe Llovera warming in case someone hit a slam?

That is likely

 

[Yaz Fan 4 Life]

Just told my wife that if they bring in Llovera with less than a 7 run lead I am going to lose it.

 

[LogansDad]

He should have double switched Martin in.

Yeah, probably.

 

[hunter05]

3 runs isn’t close to enough to make this feel comfortable

 

[bosockboy]

3 outs before 3 runs. Hold on.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Hold on to your urias.

 

[shawnrbu]

Is Schreiber up to the task?

 

[katnado]

Whelp great start

 

[soxin6]

WTF Cora? You brought in Martin for one batter?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Great.

 

[soxin6]

Is Schreiber up to the task?

No

 

[LogansDad]

Schreiber is fucking terrible.

 

[budcrew08]

Kiké please GIDP

 

[Ale Xander]

I’ve seen this movie before

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Martin 4 pitches make it make sense.

 

[Return of the Dewey]

I don’t think the Sox D has turned DP today. Now would be nice time.

 

[Van Everyman]

SUCK IT, KIKE, WE NEVER LIKED YOU ANYWAY!!!

 

[Harry Hooper]

OK, quality pitch for the K after the meatball.

 

[budcrew08]

That’s better

 

[LogansDad]

Martin 4 pitches make it make sense.

He had to get pinch hit for, I guess. I don't understand why they didn't say "Go up there and don't take the bat off your shoulder or get hit by a pitch", to be honest.

 

[twibnotes]

Why are we paying good money for an elite reliever who can never get more than 3 outs or pick back to back days?

 

[Ale Xander]

Fu fubo
You’re way behind

 

[InsideTheParker]

WTF Cora? You brought in Martin for one batter?

It's complicated. Read upthread for the explanation.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Take a seat, Pretty-shoes.

 

[shawnrbu]

Don’t let it get to Mookie.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I’m nervous

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Castig and by extension Flemming insisting on the "Johnny Leverage" nickname is pretty cringey.

 

[LogansDad]

I’m nervous

AF

 

[Ale Xander]

Outman is a bad name for a DH (but a good one for a CF)

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Kike was doing really well with the Dodgers. Then he came to Fenway.

 

[scottyno]

He had to get pinch hit for, I guess. I don't understand why they didn't say "Go up there and don't take the bat off your shoulder or get hit by a pitch", to be honest.

Probably because it was 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and getting at least 1 more run is more valuable than the drop off from Martin to Schreiber

 

[LogansDad]

JFC Schreiber. Go back to the IL.

 

[shawnrbu]

Don’t let it get to Mookie.
