Proving once again that a pitcher with no command will get hit. Kimbrel just could not find the plate tonight.

Not blaming Cora. Just bringing up the question - is Kimbrel actually capable of getting more than 3 outs in a game? He's among the best at getting 3, but it usually takes him a lot of pitches to do it. He’s not great after sitting down, whether he face one batter or two in the 8th.

Twenty years ago I’m throwing a tantrum. It’s nice what a little maturity and three World Series wins does.
Edit. And Devers homers to tie it!

Nice, Devers. I was just about to post that I think we'll get Rodney this time.

Looked like a hard line drive to RF. Wow, what a shot.

Yeah I hope Dombrowski is watching these Fernando Rodney appearances here.

Wow - love the pop. How did their RF miss that? It was like he was cadillacking to the ball sure it would go in his glove, but he had the Caddy in the wrong gear.

Yeah I hope Dombrowski is watching these Fernando Rodney appearances here. I hope he's been watching Nunez all season too.

Does Nunez even see what is coming his way?

Yeah I hope Dombrowski is watching these Fernando Rodney appearances here. Yes and hopefully watching Nunez at the same time

When was the last time Leon hit one out?

When was the last time Leon hit one out? The night they retired Yaz's number.

Among the things so infuriating about Nuñez is an instance like this sequence: swings at a pitch at his shoe tops, misses; two pitches later gets the same pitch again, takes; followed by the same pitch again - strike three.
The Ghost of Julio Lugo lives. I’m convinced whomever they trade him to will see a miraculous last 2 months out of him, but if he stays he’ll continue to sour up the rest of the crisper.

Yeah I hope Dombrowski is watching these Fernando Rodney appearances here. Of all the guys to still be pitching at 41. Guy could roll out of bed on Christmas morning and get himself into a 3-1 count.

I hate the Twins so very, very much. It all started with the Viola-led late 80s teams, but...ugh. How is it they play the Sox so toughly, but they fold like a wet house of cards for NY?!
