If you have Netflix and are searching for something good to watch, check out BAD BLOOD. IMHO, it's an entertaining crime series.
The ump Was terrible though. The last pitch by Workman Was borderline strike or a ball but he was giving Tampa pitchers that callall night and then he calls it a ball which got them a run. That was a blown and inconsistent called by the ump. Call the game fair workman gets the close. Hate seeing fucking trash like that.
Oakland wins. No ground. We need to keep winning.
Sox not done yet, 2 big wins
These are very big games in deciding whether the team goes all in or sells off.

Not ready to call them trash. Last night Barnes pitched a clean 7th and Workman a clean 8th, so Cora brought him back (with his 2.17 ERA) to finish. A leadoff single, but then a reasonable double play ball, but Chavis was slow and made a bad throw, so just 1 out. Then a K, so 2 outs with a man on 1b. Then, inexplicably, the walk, followed by another single, followed by another walk. Out goes Workman, in comes Walden, who walks Pham on 4 pitches with the bases loaded to make it 5-4. And just like that two good pitches by Walden, both strikes, that lead to an easy ground out to 1B with of course our catcher playing 1B.
Lost in the game narrative of course is the great job Cora did last night--using Leon to get the most out of Sale, saving Vazquez for the perfect moment to pinch hit, then keeping him in at 1B, and making great decisions on keeping Sale in and then managing the bullpen at a crucial juncture.

Oakland doing what they do. Second half stretch where they look like an invincible army. Very annoying
bringing Workman in for a second inning when eovaldi is our closer is WTF and almost cost us the season.
other names i have posted under: none
Way too much drama in the 9th inning. But had Chavis done a better job getting the ball to Bogaerts for the DB, it might have been a very different inning.
Sale still needs to be more efficient with his pitch count, but props to him for grinding through that 6th inning.
We'll take the W.
Fixed for you, No problem
If Cora had brought Eovaldi in to close, and Eovaldi blew the save, we would be reading all the posts about WTF was Cora thinking bringing Eovaldi in to close after his poor performance the night before.
This team has to play with the knife between their teeth moving forward if we want to grab a PO spot.

Yes, you might be right.
