First of all, I won't say anything else about this in the middle of the game thread....
but in response, I didn't say shoot Koch, that's a BS post and the poster got called on it. 'nuf said.
two, I won't shut the f*** up, because it's a weakness that must be fixed. he needs to close games and not make it a fantasy f***ing adventure every time IN PRESSURE SITUATIONS. He's the best when there's no pressure, but he's sucked all year in pressure situations. You expect him to give us anything in the playoffs if the Sox make it that far? That's what it's all about.
Bottom line, it's mental. I think Koch can be effective, but he's got to make the pitches to get the outs. Bloop crap or not, he blew it, and games like these are important.
