Renfroe just boosted their win expectancy from an edge-of-the-seat 96.6% to a safe and sound 98.5%. Does that mean we don't have to use more bullets in Barnes' arm?
ADD: Nope! It was a SAVE OPPORTUNITY, so he had to get warmed up, so he had to be brought in, so he will wear down earlier in the season, because that's just. how. it's. done.

And yet another great win, a lights out pen performance, just enough offense - and we end the first half on a pace for 100 wins. not too shabby!

Get ready for a fun lineup/relief unit tomorrow
Hopefully Nate can give them 7 strong
Bloom put together a hell of a makeshift bullpen

Same exact situation in the yankee game. 3 run game turns into 4 run game on a 8th inning home run. And they bring in the closer anyway. And Chapman blows it!!!

Barnes, who had pitched the previous two games, in in a 4 run game? Hmmm

Duran wouldn't have had that. Or maybe he would have got there sooner and not needed to crash into the bullpen.

Nice to be playing the KC Royals after a tough schedule and before a tough west coast trip. It's amazing how much the Sox have lately been getting out of trouble via the DP ball. That plus a spectacular catch by Kiké Hernandez in CF. That was Bradley-esque out there.
The bullpen was nails again. Wished they hadn't gone to Barnes but I guess Cora figures that if he can get 5 or 6 from Eovaldi tomorrow he has Sawamura, Whitlock, Taylor, and Ottavino available tomorrow to nail down the win. So he's not without options.
Can't believe it. Half way through the schedule and on a 100 win pace. And they even gained a game on Tampa with Jon Lester picking up the win. So now they have a 3 game lead and a couple of weeks ago they trailed by 3 games so that's a six game turnaround.
And of course now the Sox have gained 5 games in a week over NY as they have gone from 3.5 games out to 8.5 games out. While mathematically they're not out of it, and they should be good enough to put something of a winning stretch together, they really don't look like much of a threat this year. What they did tonight was downright embarrassing. They let an Angels team minus Trout and Ohtani (once he was lifted after getting extremely wild in the 1st inning) score 7 runs in the 9th inning to blow an 8-4 lead. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse. I can't wait to read the NY papers and listen to some of their sports talk.
It's so much fun, but I think the way it's going, that frustration is simply going to turn to apathy where the Yankee fans simply give up on their season. We all know about 1978 and being down 14 games but this Yankee team has nowhere near the talent. It's not like they're all injured, fire their alcoholic manager, and voila a recipe for a turnaround. No, this team is extremely flawed and with the trade deadline looming they're probably more likely to dump players than try to salvage the season. Just wow. They had an open window to win a Championship and it looks like they're going to go away empty-handed. My heart bleeds for them - HAHAHAHA!

I don’t expect him to yet either I have seen nothing that analyzes what he reads and what he doesn’t. What we do know is that he does make running catches. He did in Puerto Rico in games shown on telly and he has in Worcester. Nothing against Kikay. It was a hell of a catch. But making absolute statements like yours lack proof. I would expect that he would make running catches.

How many consecutive innings of 0 runs? Lights out!! I assume you're talking about Taylor ... 24 G, 19.1 IP, 9 hits, 7 BB, 25 SO. Not charged with an ER, but that 0.00 ERA is completely bogus. He allowed 0.8 more inherited runs to score than average on May 6, when he entered with guys on 2nd and with 1 out, and gave up a WP and a 1B.
OTOH, he's stranded 12 inherited runners where the average pitcher would have allowed 3.1 to score, so he's a net -2.3 ER, so his ERA since it was 9.72 on April 24th is actually -1.07. Yes, that's minus 1.07.
