Surkamp in.

Sigh.

 

Couldn't push Petricka past that elusive 6 pitch mark.

This is the guy everyone wanted to pitch to Hamilton. Lol.

Today's closer: Zach Putnam

This is the guy everyone wanted to pitch to Hamilton. Lol.

Thing is, he's not really a LOOGY, didn't really have all that dramatic splits at AAA iirc. He's a starter, or if in the pen, a long reliever.

Maybe a bit too concerned about the L/L matchup?

He's also not very good.

Something happens to pitchers when they are in there with a small lead in the 9th inning.

Sigh.

 

Hung a change-up to Hart. This isn't going well.

 

Don't believe Hahn in his wildest imagination believed the bullpen would have THIS many struggles to close games out this year, rebuilding year or not.

 

 

 

DJ just said only 3 times in the year have we had 1-2-3 innings in closing situations....all by Belisario. At least one of them was against the Dodgers, if not twice.

Their balls shrink.

Need a DP

Well, injuries.

Well yeah, it's hard to predict that your planned closer and your backup option to be the closer would both miss almost the entire season.

1 out

SEAGER SMASH.

Putnam fortunate there to get the "at 'em" ball...bad baserunning, could have been out at 3rd but didn't want to let the trail runner get to 2nd in order to preserve the double play ball.

 

 

Ackley HAS to be at second base there. Huge break.

2 outs. Come on Zach

Sox 2-1..................... 2 out

Lol.

Wow someone has to stop that ball.

Never easy is it...

Well that ball was hit in about the perfect place.

Lol.

 

What happened?

Well, Jose gets a chance to extend that streak. f***.

What happened?

Abreu diving to his right, tips the ball, bounce off Abreu's glove changes direction, bounces away from Beckham and off his glove into RF for the RBI single.

 

Tie game.
