[Reverend]

I expect nothing.

 

[LesterFan]

Wtf is wrong with JD?

 

[patinorange]

Solid AB. Thanks JD.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

can Raffy get 1.0 WAR for this game alone?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I expect nothing.

And JD delivers!

 

[strek1]

He pitched for a really good Astros team in 2017 and had 34 saves with an ERA of 2.30.

Didn't he blow a ton of saves in the Post Season though, and he never recovered mentally which led to his leaving the Astros? That's my recollection.

Yes, he pitched like crap in postseason, but you didn't reference the postseason in your post, just if he pitched for a good team.

If you're thinking that because of that 2017 postseason (in which his team still won the Series) he's scarred, then I don't know...maybe?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This is fucking B U L L S H I T ! !

 

[bigq]

Devers has been a one man wrecking crew in this one. Holding onto Devers and trading Moncada seems to have been the right choice.

Yes that's exactly what I'm thinkng. didn't think I had to be specific. My point was ,(IMO) he is hard to trust in big playoff spots, and anybody looking right now will need exactly that.

 

[LesterFan]

So is Workman really about to throw 40+ pitches?

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

Thinking negative thoughts here.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

If it's a workday, it's Workman, and man he looks toasty.

 

[mostman]

This is going well.

 

[scotian1]

No one warming up.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Um.

 

[strek1]

Yep, those high stress pitches last inning didn't do Workman any good. It's never easy with this team.

 

[LesterFan]

When they blow this I won't even be surprised

 

[boxosII]

some of these Sox games this year make me feel like I'm walking through Times Square in the '70's

 

[oumbi]

Not quite the start to the inning I had hoped for.

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[brandonchristensen]

This sucks.

 

[fenwaypaul]

I miss Koji.

 

[strek1]

What's the season high pitches for Workman? He must be close.

 

[soxin6]

Looking at the guys that are warming we will be going out of the frying pan and into the fire

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Eric Sogard can kiss the very fattest part of my ass. Sit the fuck down!

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I just took a second to look at Workman's numbers and ended up in the 2013 World Series B-R page.

Holy fuck, Ortiz had an OPS of 1.948 and second was Bogaerts with .599.

Looking back, how the fuck did they win a World Series where all but one hitter had a sub .600 OPS in it?

[patinorange]

Cora is managing as well as his team is playing. No one warming to start the inning.

Who would you have up?

their pitching overall was outstanding in that series.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Workman's arm is gonna fall clean off.

 

[strek1]

ONE more please.

[Back Bay]

their pitching overall was outstanding in that series.

Especially that bullpen.

 

[Sam Ray Not]

Cora taking workman's name way too literally.

 

[Back Bay]

Workman's arm is gonna fall clean off.

All his own doing.

 

[brandonchristensen]

ONE MORE FUCKING OUT COME THE FUCK ON

 

[brandonchristensen]

Who knew that walking the two first batters in the 9th with a two-run lead was a bad idea?

 

[patinorange]

Who would you have up?

Good point.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Blue Jays have had their share of shitty grounders getting through.

 

[strek1]

Over 40. He must be gassed.

 

[Apisith]

Can't really blame Workman for this, he's thrown over 40 pitches already. The bullpen needs help, pronto.

 

[E5 Yaz]

All his own doing.

Really? The number of times he's had to pitch recently are all his own doing?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Badly located fastball, but fouled off.

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This is excruciating.

 

[mostman]

Waste pitches are wastes Vaz.

 

[phrenile]

Had it all the way.
