That was a good pitch on 3-2.

Uh

Dammit.  Cmon Luis. 

He’s dominating with 92-94 mph fastballs

That dude dominated us

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

We have Billy Hamilton and Adam Engel on the bench...please TLR.

Uh

Bummer is going back out there. Or Tony is having a bullpen phone malfunction again.

Hendriks was warming up last inning, if Twitter is to be believed. I bet they go Bummer for two batters and then Hendriks

Dusty got away with it, but if you are planning to pull him you do it before Robert not after

Urquidy and Javier are basically interchangeable to me. Doesn't bode well for tomorrow if there is a game. 

It's very reassuring to know that, should the Sox win this game, TLR says Rodon is "good enough" to start tomorrow.

I agree, the really good version of Bummer showed up tonight so use him.

The really good version of Cease showed up for one in game too. Stick with the plan 

Inappropriate use of kiss em goodbye song there...he shut us down for 2+ innings

Should just get Liam up and let him take it from there after Tucker.

Bummer to start the inning with another guy warming

I just don’t know if you can put Kimbrel in this spot, as bat shit as that sounds…especially coming from me..

Once again…blame Kimbrel for that. 

That’s not how it works. If Justin Fields bombs the Bears GM can’t say “Not my fault he didn’t perform”

Fine with Bummer going back, but someone needs to be ready after 1 reaches, definitely after 2.

You can't start warming up someone at that point, the game could be tied by the time they are ready. The starters and bullpen have been burnt all season when Tony was too late to recognize someone is in trouble. Can't let that happen in the playoffs.

My point is we don’t need Hendriks to go 2 innings so far

Alright man. Different strokes. I dont trust Kimbrel at all to keep this game under control, but it looks like he might be in so we will see. 

 

Hendriks is a horse and has done multiple innings before, I still think he can do 2 today and still be available tomorrow.

Abreu looks off

The 2nd hitter up is a lefty, so he will face at least 2 hitters.

He's hitting .455.

Yeah, that .455 average so far this series is clearly a problem.

He really hasn't pulled the ball all series.
