LOL, free baseball. Kelly's throw is haunting us.

I was just thinking that I'd rather throw a meatball down the middle 3-0 than walk Smoak, because at least the game is only tied. I didn't think Smoak would swing 3-0, but he and the Blue Jays don't really have anything to lose.
Then again, we really don't deserve to win this game at all so I'm not really that mad.

Kimbrel can't seem to do what he is paid to do. Concerning.

Dealin' Dave better go find some bullpen help via Waivers before the end of August.

Damn. swinging on 3-0. Kimbrel making me look stupid, which isn't very hard to do on a normal day.

Doesn't seem to be able to throw his breaking ball for a strike. Smoak was waiting for that pitch. Kimbrel needed that fastball upstairs.

Not to bring the memory of early game Pomeranz back, but reading on WEEI - out of 84 pitches, only THREE swings and misses. And only 44 strikes. How did he manage giving up only two runs?

We can't have Kimbrel going into funk over the last part of the season.

But then if Kimbrel grooves one, game over. In this case a home run meant the game was tied. No matter what happened, Smoak could not have won the game.

Sox gave up one in the 7th, one in the 8th, now one in the 9th. No bullpen help acquired at the deadline.

Sox gave up one in the 7th, one in the 8th, now one in the 9th. No bullpen help acquired at the deadline. It was said that they had a trade lined up with the Nationals (Herrera) but ownership and management conflicted about whether or not to sell and the deal was reneged at the last minute.

I know that this didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but I'm never a fan of putting Hembree in for 3-5 pitches and then putting in another reliever to start the next inning.

I'd consider intentionally walking Benny here if I'm Toronto and pinch hitting Pearce for Moreland if I'm Boston.
