This team can sure hit relief pitching. Great job by the entire lineup tonight!

Offense!!!!

Holy s***, an insurance run!

9 runs is this the Sox?

That's great hustle by Abreu.

Stupid small s*** like that done right makes all the difference in the world. One of my favorite things about Abreu is that he (probably the most legitimate home run threat on the roster) does this regardless of the situation.

Duke to DR and call it a night hopefully.

Swirsky obviously not a big baseball guy.

Bringing in Zach Duke to face:

 

Colabello, Valencia & Pillar

 

is a FIREABLE OFFENSE

 

I cannot believe my eyes.

Huge splits between Duke's lefty/righty performance. Thankfully they were positioned well.

Duke isn't a LOOGY.

Like the 4-out save decision here.

Duke isn't a LOOGY.

.809 OPS against Righties, .510 OPS against lefties coming in. That's some pretty major splits.

I guess sample size doesn't count anymore. But the reason they gave him $15 million was he was able to get guys out from both sides.

Says you and robin.

 

Not to mention Valencia is the most extreme split woba hitter in baseball. I didn't look but I'd bet Colabello and Pillar aren't far behind.

 

Horrific bullpen management.

You're right....about 2014, where both righties and lefties had sub-.600 OPS against him. In 2015 so far, that's not who he is.

Sox lead 9-7. 0 runs scored. Duke doesn't face many lefties.

Duke has some worrying stats but he hasn't been a disaster yet.

Duke doesn't face many lefties.

 

Right, because opposing managers get their right handed pinch hitters in there to face him... lol.

Right and he hardly faces LH hitters. The Sox are winning 9-7 but the whining continues. Why do you pay attention to gsmes if winning doesn't even make you happy?

 

If he brought in Putnam and he gave up runs, the complaining would be about that.

Not sure I've seen Robertson hang a breaking ball like that all year.

Well this isn't good. Throwing meatballs so far

Alright can you guys stop bickering over Duke, s***s about to blow up with Robertson.

Why is Abreu holding the runner?

So, we can complain about bringing in a LHP to face Valencia only if the Sox are losing?

Why is Abreu holding the runner?

I do not understand it.
