Quick, hide his glove 

CRAIG

I'm in full favor of getting Cesar moving

Javier's velocity down to 92

Kimbrel is getting warm now, hold on to your butts....

 

I'll give this to Hallion: he hasn't given the high strike all game and he's stuck to it.

lol a guy whose whole value was being used in the playoffs is now the biggest question mark in the bullpen. Great trade Rick.

Once again…blame Kimbrel for that. 

Looks like Kimbrel is up 

Tim needs some spaghetti

I know the playoffs is a different animal, but wasn't Bummer unsuccessful when coming in for a 2nd inning this season?

Cesar lead off walk

Good AB for Hernandez.  Saw four strikes and walked. 

Have to score multiple runs here.

Can't do that if you want him to have any trade value in the off-season.

That's how you beat the astros...just don't let them put any in play.  Outstanding 3 innings from Tepera and Bummer.

And don’t walk them.

For the Sox to have a solid run, they need Kimbrel turned around. The defense let both Bummer and Kimbrel down in Game 2.

Time for Kimbrel to turn it around as well. I hope the fans don't boo him as he enters the game. If he fails again (multi-runs), all bets are off in terms of fan reaction.

In any event, Hendriks needs to be ready to come in after three hitters.

All I gotta say is if they throw Kimbrel in the 8th, don't leave Leury out in RF.

I’m playing for this game, not January.

Thats like blaming Godzilla for destroying Tokyo after they woke him up from his dormant sleep.

As bad as Kimbrel has been we can't have 1/3rd of a bullpen and expect to last. Someone besides Tepera (and Bummer now hopefully) needs to figure it out.

No, I posted it earlier, six appearances, 1 run allowed (allowed by Liam after Bummer was pulled in NY).

Anderson is going to get a rare walk.

TA been looking to pull the ball the last 2 ABs. 

I'm just glad we're burning Javier for them, for tomorrow (assuming it happens). He has been real good.
