The pressure's on to make it 4 !

Great pitching and defense by Cannon and the Sox won in the 10th inning that brought their May record to 6-6 which is 1 more than they won in all of April . Cannon went 6 scoreless after Brandon Eisert started the game and pitched 1 scoreless inning. It's the 3rd start in a row that Cannon has not issued a walk . He lowered his ERA to a very respectable 3.60. With the score tied 1-1 courtesy of a bomb from Elly De la Cruz off Steven Wilson in the bottom of the 9th, the Sox started the 10th inning with Baldwin as the Ghost runner on 2nd base. Elko grounded out to 3rd and Rojas struck out . Matt Thaiss PH for Taylor and worked a walk. Meidroth slapped a 1-2 pitch into RF to score Baldwin with the go ahead run. Up came Miguel Vargas who promptly deposited one into the left field seats for a 3 run HR to give the Sox the final margin of victory, 5-1. Booser came in to mow down the Reds in their half of the 10th with no hits, no walks and 2 K. Quero went 3 for 4 with a walk and drove in the Sox 1st run with a single. Steven Wilson picked up the win along with the blown save.

Ok just making sure since you kept asking about a 3 run lead 😋

The Sox were up by 4.

Not so fast 😋

A road win in extras is huge for them. But the talent level still isn't great . But it is fun when the youngin's come through.

6 and 6 in May so probably.

I'm in a great mood. I didn't read anything.When it just sits there and spins I know it wasn't a FB. Sorry I was just correcting you without any malice intended. You did ask why they threw a FB .I assumed it was you seeking knowledge and not rhetorical.

Big 4 run inning !

Vargas !

Meidroth !

Wilson might pitch another inning. All righties coming up and no LH on the bench.

Wilson had been pitching well. He made quick work of the righties after De la Cruz.

Sure looked like a hanging breaking ball to me

De la Cruz hit a cement mixer.

I'm resisting the urge to make a prediction of doom .

Cannon ERA dipped below 4 now, 3.83 .

Nice DP started by Vargas and the turn by Sosa.

Beautiful piece of hitting by Quero !

Let's go bats . No more slumber for the lumber.

Nice play by Taylor to run that one down. Through 3, No score.

ROSTER MOVES: Prior to the start of this morning's game at Gwinnett, the Charlotte Knights have made the following roster moves: Oh Slater is back in action just when I thought he might be gone for the year with that meniscus tear.

I know where you got it from. In almost 25 years on Soxtalk no one ever looked it up . I rarely used it. Didn't care enough to delete it.

I like my home town team . So does everyone here. I want them to be good but at least I'm not blind to whats really happening here instead of blaming a puppet . I can still enjoy my team take smalls amounts of joy at individual moments in games. It does not make me miserable enough to try and hunt down your social media posts. Was that some kind of gotcha moment for you ?

I wouldn't call not dying "dilly dallying" . The guy loves to play with money. And he's pretty good at it. Not a good owner but he sure has decent luck. He forgot what it's like to be a fan. He just has higher priorities that don't coincide with rewarding the fans. It's more like using them as a means to an end.
