locate a FUCKING FASTBALL

Soxtalk in a nutshell ? 

A's still have Mitch Moreland to use...waiting for the 9th.

That curve must look crazy, coming into the plate, because they are whiffing bad.

Why even bother throwing a fastball there?

throw him another breaking ball and its over

I don’t think I have ever seen so many swings miss a ball by 3 feet or more in a major league inning ever.

Stop with the fastballs!

Throw 4 knucke curves in a row and you'll get a whiff on one... Don't get cute.

Narrator: It Wasn’t

That's the first time I've seen Kimbrel riled up. 

KIMBREL!

amazing what you can do when you can locate a pitch.

GOTTEM

Fucking love Kimbrel

nice comeback Kimbrel!

Hopefully that gets him on the right track 

crowd almost destroyed their microphone there

Hell of an inning by Seby.  He saved 3 from going to the backstop. 

I mean, he didn't give up a run, something Liam needs to strive to do.

Smart to get his nerves worked up to pitch better
