Need a couple more runs. 

[Mo Horn 8853]

Nasty breaking ball to get out of the inning. 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Good work. Now score some more. 

[Guest]

CFM...

[henrygandorf 29194]

lineup construction in a potential alcs is going to be very interesting if they decide to go sale-price-rodriguez.  i guess it all depends on how they wanna use porcello.  throwing 3 lefties is gonna mean a lot of maldonado over mccann, and i guess more jake?  marwin/reddick/kemp will have to fight over the remaining spots.  kemp has obviously shown he can get knocks off a lefty.

if white is still going strong, not sure what that means for gattis.  shit, all these lefties almost makes jd davis relevant.

Machete!

[Mo Horn 8853]

Machete

[Victor Lazlo 1777]

Machete

Red Sox bullpen after 3 1/3. Yum yum

[Fudge Nuggets 19217]

I went out on the back porch for a smoke during both HRs.  I might just sit out there and knock out three packs today. Lung cancer?  Who cares, need runs. 

[Mo Horn 8853]

Sorry Brandon but we need to light you up and put this game away

[RoundRobin 828]

They should just walk Bregs. 

[Mo Horn 8853]

Ok Yuli, put it away

Granted...

[DaysOff 7971]

Not bad.

[henrygandorf 29194]

nothing wrong with playing add-on.

[Mo Horn 8853]

Was hoping the first inning hit by Correa would lead to a multi hit game.

Still a possibility. 

 

[tx 3 putt 77359]

seriously, just shut down correa until the playoffs. in his current state, he's not doing us any good 

[runthebone 8033]

Great play on both ends

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Was that first pitch a 97 mph knuckler? Crazy movement. And nice D. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19217]

Two called strikes and Maldonado didn’t catch either one. Don’t care, has HR today.

The movement on that pitch was insane

His at bats today have been better.

 As long as there is no danger of him hurting himself again I say give him his at bats and let him work things out and let him get hot for the playoffs.

Looks that way to me too. 

[runthebone 8033]

What do they do to test an ump?  "Give me 10 different ways to balk"?

[Guest]

What’s the baseline test for an ump?  Lol

 

He looks like he got his bell rung a little.

[Mo Horn 8853]

 I'd consider walking Betts here. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Ugh. Two out fucking walkings. 

[Guadaloopy 11012]

 CFM got this.  

[Scraps 13570]

I fucking hate red sox games....they take forever

[Fudge Nuggets 19217]

Throw fucking strikes. 

[Guadaloopy 11012]

JAKE!!!

[Mo Horn 8853]

 Jake with the HUGE catch

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Jake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tx 3 putt 77359]

Jake !!!!!!!!!!!

[Scraps 13570]

Marisnick would've caught that

Told you lol

[TonyTexas 10524]

Give Jake 3 RBIs

[henrygandorf 29194]

we seem like we want this.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Yes, yes he did:

 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Would love to see Jake rake here. 

[Guadaloopy 11012]

It ain’t luck, Benintendi. 

[henrygandorf 29194]

rangers got to edwin today.  a's down 4-2 but it's early.

that starting staff has to slow down at some point with all these injuries.

[henrygandorf 29194]

we'll see how it goes when guys try to steal bases in the postseason, but so far, the maldonado move is looking fucking genius.

[Guadaloopy 11012]

Machete seems like he likes pennant chase baseball.

Yeah, but if the catcher can’t get it, imagine trying to hit it.

 

It’s not like CFM is chucking WPs up there...

You know, I've been worried this season that the team didn't have the heart of last year's, but the past few series, including this one, have laid my fears to a somewhat embarrassing rest.

We may not win today. We might not win this series. Hell, there's an outside chance we don't even make the postseason. But I still love this team.
