Hahahah that's a break

That'll do LOL

Why anyone would ever bring in a lefty against the Sox is beyond me.

I want the Sox to lose so TLR doesn't get off the hook

On this we definitely disagree.

Roberts isn’t a good manager. He’s just been blessed with some of the most loaded and deep teams we’ve ever seen in recent years.

And the best part is Tony can't even have him thrown at to get even.

That's an awful big assumption that these two teams won't meet in the World Series.  TLR is playing the long game.

What's dumber? Intentionally walking a guy in a 1-2 count or intentionally walking someone with the bases loaded? 

If it isn't Barry Bonds, it's still the IBB with the bases loaded, BUT the 1-2 count is like .000001 millimeters behind it on the ruler of stupidity.

He'll be off the hook regardless, cause he's got unmatched job security. 

110 pitches in 4 2/3 for Cease I see? Ouch. That had to be painful to watch. Nice 8th inning so far. Sox can win maybe.

Looks like I missed a fun one.  Fire everyone, this team sucks

He's the only manager who has tenure....it's impossible to get rid of him.

What a terrible swing on the high fastball. Keep your eye on the ball and hit it. ... OK 96 is pretty fast.

I'd say pinch hit here but that would imply it matters

In all seriousness though, I think Joe Maddon (maybe someone else) did this earlier in the year. After, there was a stat that showed the team that does it is undefeated in those games.

What's sad is that if TLR didn't intentionally walk Turner, this might be a tie game.

He threw 1/3 of those pitches in one inning.

1-2. Why even pitch to him if you don't want him to beat you? Why let the count get to 2 strikes and then get scared? 

Batting averages with 2 strikes are substantially lower than in other counts.

He was never "on the hook" with JR, but nothing will let him off the hook with baseball people who saw that move.

I love Cease but his efficiency often leaves something to be desired.

You're as high as a kite right now , aren't you?

Harrison's batting style is not conducive to hitting a fastball. Please dump him.

Nope. The sox won't score again .
