Meanwhile...Boston 6 runs 14 hits...Cleveland 6 runs 8 hits...as they say the hits keep coming

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Why do they call him the bullet dodger?

Because he dodges bullets, Avi. (sp?)

[operation mindcrime]

Where's Morin, Magill, Mejia and Parker when you need them? Oh wait....

[Jham]

Is it too late to sign anyone to the bullpen!?

Welcome. the correct format for a game thread question is as follows: "is it too late to sign anyone to the bullpen or can we still find help?"

 

Yes.

 

you're new, so we'll let it slide.

[Mike Sixel]

I'm not sure I understand the bullpen strategy.

[bighat]

Duffey is our "shutdown guy".

[Halsey Hall]

So the bullpen blows another lead.  Could be a long haul to the end.

[Aggies7]

What an inning

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hanger. ARGGGGH.

 

East coast time tells me this is when to head to bed. Try and turn this around for me, so I have good news to wake up to, OK?

I got yer back.

 

We'll pull this out one way or anoother.

[Jham]

What an inning

In both games.

[S.]

 

Duffey is our "shutdown guy".

Where is the "Dislike" button?

We could take a flier on Trevor Rosenthal!

[tvagle]

JBJ is my new friend

[HawksNest]

BoSox take lead on Bradley Jr. HR

[jz7233]

Boston has a better bullpen.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Hat tip to MLBTR for the link

 

Vince Workman comes out of retirement to close for the BoSox

Vince Workman of the Packers!

 

Give you a dollar if you can guess who else was running back on those early 90s Packers teams.

 

Hint: Darrell Thompson.

[tvagle]

Devers is now 6 for 6...he's doing his part

[operation mindcrime]

Did Eddie have to run really far for that foul? Seemed to either pull up or not give max effort

He saved his energy to nearly be thrown out at second!

[obtusebanter]

The Brewers' former DH comes through again!

[tvagle]

Back in my heyday I had quite the repertoire of junkballs and could touch 85 if I reached back for something extra on my 'heater.' I'm even right-handed. Watch out Mr. Harper. Clearly I got what the Twins are looking for in high leverage situations.
