PH Buxton?

[wsnydes]

 

Boston is 2/14 in RISP, we are 1/7. Not good from either side!

So what you're sayin' is that this is not a prime example of clutch hitting?

[TouchEmAllGuy]

4 pitches. 2 outs..

[PopRiveter]

Our boys sure worked that reliever.

[Cap'n Piranha]

What a waste of an inning.  But hey, at least we didn't strike out, amirite?

[USAFChief]

 

4 pitches. 2 outs..

7 pitches, 3 outs.

 

Garlic made em work, by comparison.

[Puckett34]

Why would Buxton not PH there? Is he available?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Unless this post is missing an emoji...

 

It's impossible for the home team to give up a lead in extra innings.

It is just as true if the 8th inning today turns out to be the 1st of the 2nd game.

[USAFChief]

 

Why would Buxton not PH there? Is he available?

WHEN YOU HAVE GARLIC ABAILABLE???!!;??

 

Dude!!

[Cap'n Piranha]

With Cave set to lead off the 7th, and playing in center, what possible reason is there to not put Buxton out there in his place?

[wavedog]

Not sure why if we have 14 pitchers on the Roster - someone else can't pitch in a one-run game

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If Kirilloff is 27th player, can only play in one of the games today?

[Danchat]

Really surprised Waddell is still out there. Yikes!

[Puckett34]

Dude!!

Good point. The puns alone are worth its weight.

[wsnydes]

Apparently they've all got to be available for game 2...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

that was my point, but around here everything is up for debate

Or misconstruction.

 

We do that too.

[Puckett34]

Sure feels like Rocco is punting this game. 

[wsnydes]

Is anyone actually warming in the pen?

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Okay Waddell, finish it out!

[PopRiveter]

C'mon. Let's end this threat right  here.

[PopRiveter]

Boom. 

Now, to walk this off

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Momentum!! Come on boys!

[wsnydes]

*wipes brow*

[USAFChief]

 

Waddell works a scoreless 7th.

[Otto von Ballpark]

 

If Kirilloff is 27th player, can only play in one of the games today?

No, the 27th man is available for both games today.

 

If the postponed game was from yesterday, the 27th man would have been for game 2 only:

 

If the postponed or suspended game was from the previous day, a "27th player"... can be temporarily added to a club's MLB Active List for the second game only.

Yes, please.

[LVTwinsfan]

Or misconstruction.

 

We do that too.

Its all good, not a whole lot of what I post here is all that important anyway

[wavedog]

Whew!  I am thinking Waddell is being optioned after this game to activate Donaldson.   OK, now let's see if we can eke out a couple of runs 

[Mill1634]

Why is Buxton not PH here?

[nicksaviking]

If not Buxton, I'd rather have had Garlick pinch hit for Cave than Kirilloff.
