Newcomb throw to first was a nervous throw. Walks hurting again. Fortunately we still have 8 innings to go, albeit facing Gavin Williams.

Kay’s control is not reliable.

Better performance than Quero, Romo and Rogers.

Then they should not be called starters. They are long relievers.

Cleveland offense is worse than the Sox’s. We hit more homers which is important in the post season, and we saw that with Mune today.

Mercy!!

Will have to disagree on Getz. Just finished reading ESPN piece on playoff teams chances to advance. On the Sox side the main obstacle is pitching, and that Getz did not do the job obtaining a reliable starter at the trade deadline. They also wrote that Castillo signing was a disaster with an 8.62 ERA with the Sox. In summary, they place the blame on Getz if the Sox do not advance. This is my opinion also. I find it hard for Getz to get any award with Castillo albatross around his neck.

Sounds like Vince Lombardi clip.

Getz mediocre deadline acquisitions particularly Castillo, should preclude him from winning any front office awards.

Agree. Got bailed out by winning the WC playoff, otherwise we would still be complaining, if we would have lost the WC playoff. I will congratulate Will and the Sox for the win today, and moving on the Cleveland. All is well that ends well.

Looks like the Sox are going to be the only show in town,

I like our chances if we can get some runs , and avoid a low scoring close game, and having to deal with Cade Smith.

It’s OVAH! MERCY! On to Cleveland..many heroes today. Fedde was great closing, good to have had a veteran like him at the end, with no walks,, and Meidroth delivered the dagger with the Earl Weaver special 3 run homer. Will managed a great game for a change.

Don’t we have a pitching coach or a Japanese translator? Or is Mune uncoachble?

Mune and Vargas have been a bust in this game, but we are still leading regardless.

Getting the midget out is huge.

Fedde is in, and Vargas makes a great play to get Alvarez out. MERCY!

Chase is California surfing today, riding them waves.

One more run puts us beyond grand slam damage.

Agree, particularly with a 4 run lead. Hicks is dealing bigtime.

Short porch bites us again.

If we can’t get to the short porch, try some small ball ,not swinging for the fences on every pitch.

We need to pile up some more runs, and get away from being one inning wonders in many games.

Astros defense has been looking very shaky in this game so far.
