I had a feeling he'd vulture another win today after we tied it in the 9th. 

This might be the best win so far this year. We looked dead on offense for 8 innings and the bottom of the order sparked a rally in the 9th. Then after Lopez got out of 2nd and 3rd 1 out in the 9th, we got 2 huge hits to put up 2 runs.

Also, I think the scoreboard gave up when Greg said he did in the game thread.

Hendriks is a fucking machine

[White Sox Park 188]

Hendricks is a "just give me the fcking ball" kind of guy, and that is exactly the type of guy that you want as your closer.

[CaliSoxFanViaSWside 3,646]

Scooter, Cody, Engel, Abreu, Robert, Hendriks , OPA !!!!!!

[joesaiditstrue 996]

Liam just looks like a guy who does well when he's being used on a reg basis, doubt they run him out there tomorrow but who knows?

We still making it too close for comfort.  We won’t take a walk, swinging at everything, need to be more patient.  Fortunately our only walk scored in the 9th.  Also we cannot hit Pollock second, he left everybody on base.  He is hitting close to .100 since back from the IL.

I wonder the MLB record is for longest winning streak where a single closer got a save in all of them.

It's cute that you think we'll need Liam in a game started by Dallas Keuchel.

Yeah we probably should have won this in 9 innings had TA just gotten Engel in from 3rd. Beggars can't be choosers sometimes though.

Boston just needed their closer in a game started by Pivetta. You never know.

Yep, tomorrow we'll go back to calling them horseshit though

[bmags 8,594]

Impressive win. Excellent stretch of pitching has covered the still weak offense. But actual warm weather is coming. Hopefully that excuse was valid.

Haha, I read the scoring plays that showed Abreu hit scores Pollock in the 10th and I thought AJ finally did something....I had completely forgotten about the phantom runner.

Interesting how every other division is beating up on the AL Central while the Sox are 3-9 against the division and 10-4 against everyone else.

I would take Nick Pivetta 12 out of 10 times, over Dallas Freakin' Keuchel though, to be fair.

Well If Keuchel shuts down the Red Sox tomorrow, it will be official that the Red Sox bats are irredeemably awful.
