In Which the Red Sox Beat the Astros

[ngruz25]

It’s gotta be a lonely feeling on the mound when you have absolutely no idea where the ball’s going but you have to keep throwing it.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Bloom is probably itching to bring in his own guy tbh. He had no choice but to bring in the WS winner by popular demand after the suspension even though a folding chair could have managed that team to 100 wins.

I have liked Cora fine but what is he adding at this point that some fresh blood couldn’t?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I'm not sure why Schreiber and Wink would not be available to pitch to Altuve.

Schreiber threw 46 pitches Friday-Saturday. So maybe available but not a guy you are warning up in the 6th.

Winckowski seems like he should have been available. But, maybe he’s not.

 

[czar]

If I'm Barraclough, I'm faking an injury at this point. Ridiculous.

 

[mauidano]

Payback for the 17-1 smack down last week.

Who will be the position player to pitch for Boston?

 

[canderson]

Will they name Varitek the manager this week or wait until the week after the World Series?

 

[mr_smith02]

This is really unfair to Barraclough.

I'd be hardpressed not to say FU to Cora on my way to the locker room if I were Barraclough

 

[LogansDad]

JP Crawford hit the first pitch he saw out for a 1-0 lead. Go Mariners.

Fuck Cora.

 

[jbupstate]

Sale can’t go 6. Story and Devers can’t get a big hit.

Bear Claw had a job to do. He should pitch until they are down enough for a position player.

 

[Bergs]

Varitek gave the shirt to Cora.

Forget it, Shawn. It's Blizzardof78 town.

 

[scotian1]

Anyone who figured the Red Sox had a chance at winning one of those wildcard spots with the schedule they have left really is in dreamland.

 

[bosockboy]

Cora is definitely not coming back in 2024.

 

[budcrew08]

Almost hit Abreu too

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

[budcrew08]

It would make things a lot more interesting either way.

 

[HangingW/ScottCooper]

Murphy yesterday was more egregious... he threw 90 pitches during his beat down.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Will they name Varitek the manager this week or wait until the week after the World Series?

If I had a guess, I'd say that if he fires Cora after the season, Bloom will clean house completely on the coaching staff

 

[patinorange]

Schreiber threw 46 pitches Friday-Saturday. So maybe available but not a guy you are warning up in the 6th.

Winckowski seems like he should have been available. But, maybe he’s not.

This fucking bullpen is useless. 46 pitches? So what? And Wink?
I think the players have to start wondering about Cora.

Wait till Barraclough pitches the 8th.

Please don't bring in Joe Madden.

 

[mauidano]

Okay, now I feel sorry for the guy.

 

[Daniel_Son]

What the fuck does Bush even say at this point?

 

[bosockboy]

Please don't bring in Joe Madden.

Probably wanted Quatraro before KC hired him.

 

[worm0082]

Bullpen still empty

 

[Bergs]

Please don't bring in Joe Madden.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

 

[budcrew08]

Eventually Barraclough is going to be like that kid in 2007 that we hit four homers back to back against. Never saw him again in the majors.

 

[jteders1]

Astros fans are annoying as hell.

 

[ngruz25]

At this point, Barraclough pretty much has to throw 100 pitches.

What a mockery of the game.

 

[scottyno]

Schreiber threw 46 pitches Friday-Saturday. So maybe available but not a guy you are warning up in the 6th.

Winckowski seems like he should have been available. But, maybe he’s not.

Probably available, but he's also been pretty much a 1 inning guy for awhile now. So even if Jansen Martin and Winck all throw 1 inning without issue someone else was going to have to pitch.

This made me chuckle.

 

[bosockboy]

One night only, I’d like to see Shank shred Cora.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Anyone who figured the Red Sox had a chance at winning one of those wildcard spots with the schedule they have left really is in dreamland.

Unfortunately management did and they were dead wrong.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Varitek gave the shirt to Cora.

Good psychology. Get Cora fired. Good plan.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You grow up wanting to be a major league pitcher. You get the chance and it doesn't go well. Then, one day, you wind up as pawn in game of life

 

[patinorange]

One night only, I’d like to see Shank shred Cora.

I'm pretty sure that is going to happen.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Please don't bring in Joe Madden.

Oh Jesus, I just threw up in my mouth

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

If I had a guess, I'd say that if he fires Cora after the season, Bloom will clean house completely on the coaching staff

Why, though? Haven’t we been saying for months that this team has exceeded expectations? But now the manager should be canned?

 

[shawnrbu]

Bill O’Brien still at the game.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Why, though? Haven’t we been saying for months that this team has exceeded expectations? But now the manager should be canned?

I'm making a guess. It doesn't have to be right.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Christ this guy may have to pitch another inning

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Why, though? Haven’t we been saying for months that this team has exceeded expectations? But now the manager should be canned?

Sure, but he didn't give the team any chance tonight, when they still had a gut shot chance at it. Barring any extenuating circumstances, it's hard to defend.

If the front office said lol no one is available, then sure whatever.

 

[patinorange]

Bill O’Brien still at the game.

Might be a Houston fan?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Bill O’Brien still at the game.

Wondering if Barraclough has a better arm than Zappe

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Forget it, Scotty. It's Blizzardof78 town.

I am just upset about Sale. 30 million a year and can't go 5 innings? Seeing Mookie making 27 million a year brought up stuff. Sorry my friend.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Bill O’Brien still at the game.

He’s not used to seeing this much offense.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Hey, at least maybe Rafaela gets in the game?

 

[czar]

Cora pissed it's only a 7 run game because he can't run McGuire out there.

 

[jteders1]

I think we should relax on the exceeed expectations front. This team has a very tough schedule, a weary pen and starters that can’t go 5 innings. A 9-24 finish isn’t out of the realm.
