The pitch call was exactly correct. You're not trying to throw an off speed pitch to a guy who has off speed bat speed at this point.

I think Miguel was expecting that, and he knows what teams are trying to do to him, so he just inside-outted the pitch. Brilliant really, just sucks. Needed to get inside just a hair more and he would have been jammed.

I see that 8th innnings still suck for this bullpen.  How about we score some runs in the top of the 9th....Hendriks can get a W and go to the box and feel shame.

Should have never got rid of Kimbrel

Look at the bright side, if kimbrel was here he'd have come.in and we'd be losing instead of tied

Yeah that's the only way to get a bases clearing double...speed up his slider slider speed bat. 

Great Josh Harrison.  And Mendick isn't a better option although he just might homer accidentally.

I can't wait for Tanner Banks in the 10th

The lack of depth in the pen is crazy right now.

Bingo.

Yeah, it’s all Bummer. Cabrera got a flukey parachute single, Bummer was awful.

Bummer without his good slider is not very good. His sinker is more or less a neutral pitch now.

Ruiz feels more likely. 

Need Big Energy to start things with his first base hit for the Sox

Remember going into 2021 we had one of the “best” bullpens in the league?

 

Thank god we got high energy coming up. 

No organization invests in the bullpen and in hindsight looks laughable quite like this one

Interesting bringing in a lefty. 

Be. Patient. Against. Soto. 

Should have never gotten rid of Kimbrel so that we could be down 5 right now and I could go back to work.

I'm surprised Tony is going to push Liam this hard on OD but I love the decision to do so

You do?

More weak contact. He’s such a horrible signing.

It was the right call for sure

Boy I thought Harrison smashed that and it was a medium depth flyout to LF.

Well at least not a walk off.  Yet. We might get the dreaded double blown save though. 

Vaughn!!!

ANDREW MOTHERFUCKING VAUGHN

Mr. Big Time Energy with a big time fly out 

I thought this would fall in, then I remembered that Eloy was not in LF for the Tigers

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

VAUGHN GONE
