Kimbrel in a non save situation? fuck

Burr in. There's a chance he might make this into a save situation for Kimbrel.

That depends…who’s askin?

0-2 fastball right down the plate.  I have no idea why they brought in Burr.  

Burr is about as I remembered. And bad play Luis.

WArm up Kimbrel.

Christ Robert...pick up the damn ball. This has been happening way too often. 

That was horrible effort all around.  Here comes the 8th inning blues because Tony tried to get cute.

good lord this guy sucks.

Burr in the dreaded 8 th.  Let’s not make it another cardiac event.

man leury is a little sparkplug.

Great play by Leury there. Get Burr out of this game

classic case of where a manager trying to get cute costs more than it was ever worth in his head.

Want to get to the point in my Sox life where Burr, Foster, Ruiz are no longer a part of it. 

How many times is Tony gonna try to save Kimbrel or Hendriks by going to a lesser reliever only to use them 3 batters later anyways? 

TBF this isn't how TLR usually manages and it's obvious as fuck he's trying to just play out the string with the most ammo possible heading into October, which is the right move.

TLR lacks the killer instinct particularly in the 8 th.  Let’s lock this inning with Kimbrel.

He made Gomes look bad before that too with his cutter. TBF, that play should have been made on Gomes' grounder. I'm not sure what kind of positioning we were playing there. 

This is pathetic

sigh.

Well there we go, giving those 2 runs right back.

Welp there goes those 2 runs we scored.
