Peters walk, Beni bunt hit, Mune weak ground out advances the runners and Vargas flare for the 2 RBI.
1 hour ago1 hr Serantony's 8th save is more than any Sox pitcher last year. Leasure had 7 to lead the team.

You just say hey you did great and move on. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside

Don't need to see that lollygagging again.Nice W.I think the Edgar Quero apology thread needs to queue behind the Tristan Peters thread, the Bryan Hudson thread, the Seranthony Dominguez thread and the Will Venable thread.

That play happened so fast, Taylor would have needed to break and start running as what looked like a single came off the bat. Taylor probably has another place to be on a single to RF. I get what you're saying, and he might have been a bit of a spectator, but that was a bang bang play. Merrill's pretty fast, too. Edited 59 minutes ago59 min by WestEddy

Thought it was the 8th then the DP so it amounted to nothing. Venable says something maybe like thats why we have PFP's but he knew right away had made a mistake.. Plus the term "dressing down" is not part of the game anymore. Its very old school way of discipline and harsh criticism rather than encouraging instruction.

Taylor can get a save.My 1st choice was to take him out @tray because you could have him to pitch tomorrow but I supported the decision because you could figure either decision was sound. You still have to make development decisions with Taylor. They're trying to get him to pitch more innings . Seemed like a good opportunity to try it again with a 4 run lead. Got a little tense but ultimately it all worked out. Tomorrow will be a challenge though. That's life in the big leagues.

Anyway, hopefully just a one-time brainfog.And he's still a work-in-progress. At least I hope so.

If there's even a whiff of controversy it blows up.

At least I hope so.I rewatched, and yeah, he hesitated. On Peters' suicide squeeze, that pitcher had to pull up when the 2nd baseman was at first. He beat Peters to the bag. Taylor had to do that.

At least I hope so.He looks better than last year and he's still just 23.Look how long it took Randy Johnson to become a good pitcher. Pitchers and catchers need time . This is still almost the youngest team in baseball. 1st or maybe 2nd youngest ?

Thats like getting in a guys face and making him fel bad for something he feels bad about already. You dont want to reinforce or make that bad feeling last. Relief pitching in high leverage situation , they always say you need a short memory to bounce back and get them next time to pitch late inning relief.
