I could not watch the game and chose to do an experiment and check in on the GameThread periodically and look at the latest post only and see if I could figure out what the heck was going on…here is my log of what I surmised by that method:
Giolito is getting squeezed early and has no hit stuff if only the home plate ump didn’t suck.
The Sox are down early and it seems like it might be by a bunch.
The Sox are actually only down by 1 run.
Sox are playing some shoddy defense.
Sox got a sacrifice fly.
I think they have a lead and it’s late because there is talk of why not bring in Hendriks here.
I think they blew the lead because LaRussa does not know how to use a bullpen.
LaRussa apparently did not go to Kimbrel or Hendriks late in the game with a lead….I have no idea whether the Sox are losing at this point or it is tied.
I do think it is tied up…but still not sure.
Need a DP?...uh oh.
Complaints about LaRussa and defensive positioning….sounds bad…I’m not sure why the Astros haven’t won yet from the negativity I am seeing posted.
OK, it seems like it was tied in the 7th, not the Sox leading and LaRussa brought in a kid….I would guess Crochet but he was used yesterday.
Sox lose….I’m guessing with Kimbrel pitching like crap again.
Ok, on to the Box Score to piece this thing together….Thanks everybody for being a part of my experiment even though you didn’t know it.
And yes….I will never do this again.
