OT: 2016 Red Sox/MLB Regular Season V - "And down the stretch they come!"

[CharasLazyWrister]

Well, they're clearly pumped up, but these over agressive baserunning techniques are costing them runs...

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Seriously, running into outs on the basepaths against this guy? That's stupid, it's not Kershaw on the mound.

 

[DKH]

D'ont slide head first

 

[Fossy21]

Oh, nvm...

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

3 guys thrown out in the same inning...jeez.

Like mentioned, don't need to be aggressive with this guy on the mound. Don't help him out by giving away outs.

EDIT - Ok...2 guys thrown out.

Buchholz isn't going to be long for this game the way he is going.


And as I say that, he gets a DP.

In September, if your #5 starter can get through 5 innings and give up 1 or 2 runs, that's fine.

Absolutely...if he can give them that tonight I will be more than happy.

I just read that last night was the first time Boston has beaten NY when trailing by at least 3 runs with 2 outs in the 9th inning since 1908.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

He had been dodging trouble all night....and it finally caught up to him.

 

[DKH]

Whatever happened to Dennis Drinkwater

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Brutal 3rd strike call on Young.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

Whatever happened to Dennis Drinkwater

He lost his seats with the Safelite acquisition of Giant Glass. It's a shame. Hope he pays for playoff tickets.

What are you doing Ramirez??? This team just kills itself on the bases...

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

With two outs, I don't mind it.

With no outs or one out, and them trying to stretch singles into doubles in the first inning, I mind it.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

I'm not sure if he's even warming up, but I want Abad facing Gregorious. Whether it's this inning or next. Followed by Koji for the (rest of the) 8th.

Edit: Actually, maybe never mind. He has reverse splits this year.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

We have a really outside shot at having 5 100 RBI guys. JBJ and Bogaerts would both need an RBI a game the rest of the way.

Well there's JBJ's. Woulda been nice to have 2 guys on base for that. You know, maybe Leon at 2nd and Hanley at 3rd.

 

[Pia8988]

Insurance

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Damn the O's overcame an early 4-0 deficit to beat the Rays 5-4. Too bad, I thought Archer was the winnable match-up for them, but you cannot expect the Rays to get the job done forever.

 

[SPV]

unbelievable. Is Abad one of the worst deadline pickups ever??

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Imagine if we kept Tommy Layne and didn't trade for Abad

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

unbelievable. Is Abad one of the worst deadline pickups ever??

How quickly we forget Eric Gagne

 

[SPV]

How quickly we forget Eric Gagne

oh, good point.

I've probably blacked out several others from my memory banks

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Yanks down by 5 runs and 2 out of their 3 base runners didn't even need to swing the bat. How is that acceptable in a 5 run game? I will never get it.

Abad should be DFA'd. It doesn't make much sense to keep him around, even though Farrell is terrible at using his assets. Abad is a LOOGY and mustn't be used against RHH.

He shouldn't be DFAd. He should just face lefties. I understand keeping him in against Butler. There were 2 lefties up next and it was a 5 run game with 2 outs left. Shouldn't have had to go to Kimbrel or even Barnes. But whatever. I want to see him in a high leverage situation against a lefty again.
