In!

In for win!!!

Lets do this shit

I'm gay!

Damn. Thought that was a hit

IN!!!!

Happy Birthday Simply Red...

So stupid how the stands jut out there in left field. Dangerous and a stupid design.

Generous strike zone. I hope Duffy gets the same.

Duffy better get balls called as strikes.

I'm starting to hate Pedroia. Pesky ****er.

This. And I'm prone to like him since he's a Gilbert(Same town I live in)guy. But man, **** him right now

Welp.

Well, ****.

Ump is going to make Duffy pitch right over the plate to get a strike call.

This is just not a good park for Duffy.

Bad Duffy again

Damn! Could he have hit that any further.

Especially against the roided up lineup with the homeplate ump.

Come on maaaaan! Really? Really

What he hell???

Lost it in the lights/sky somehow.

Thanks for the free out, Grandpa.

Gift out.

Has Duffy even attempted to throw a curve/slider? Can't live on just 2 pitches.

lol Ortiz

This ump is a dick

Danny's had issues in the first inning on a few occasions this year. Let's let him try to work through it before writing off as bad duffy again.

Jesus Christ this ump

Ump just not gonna give Duffy the low strike. He's definitely squeezing him. Bad ump.

Another strike called a ball.

That first pitch to Ramirez was clearly a stroke.

Shaping up to be a 5 inning outing

Someone on the bench needs to start harping on this ump. Big time.

Way to limit the damage, Duffy.

We knew we would have to score more than 2 to win, so let's get it here in this inning starting with a Morales bomb.

I don't think a bad start = Bad Duffy. Boston makes lots of pitchers look bad.

Having said that, I did go on record last week as fearing this matchup. Hopefully he settles down and limits the damage.

SALVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

Salvy power!

BOOM!

That was a laser.

Salvy! Boom

Salvy baby!

Boom

There ya go Gordon.

We're making good contact against Price at least.

Huge statement if we can get this tied up

And here. we. go.

There ya go. Tied game.

Statement made

Oh yeah. Huger statement if we can take the lead. Ha

Woot!

Shades of 2015.

Some hard hits as well.

Ump appears to favor the high strikeover low strike OR he appears to favor Price over Duffy. You pick.

Let's go baby! I hate all Boston everything. Stick it to them!

Esky making his case for leadoff

I hate watching Christian Colon hit prior to the 8th inning

Um, or the rocket Salvy crushed, Ryan

All right Duffy, shutdown inning.

I like how the TV truck switched to the shot of Perez as he was saying that.

I don't think Orlando was thrown a strike

Shit at bat for Orlando there.

Hahaha

Danny just doesn't look comfortable tonight.

Ugh. Duffy having command issues.

Mechanics don't look as crisp, balance not great on his finish at times.

Yeah, and Boston's lineup is very good. It's going to be a grind.

But, he isn't "giving in" either. Like the competitiveness. I think we're seeing the making of an ace!

Shit...

Well, crap

Why the **** did he throw ball there? That was a meat pitch.

Danny Duffy can eat ****ing shit tonight.

Talk about bad defense.

That was Twins-like defense.

We may be using our Wang tonight

Yeah, well time to get Wang up. Let him take the brunt here.

That was flat out ugly.

How about Pedroia getting one in the ribs tonight???????

By the way, haven't seen an Alex Gordon night like this in regards to defense in a while.

Yow, what the hell was Eskie thinking? Generally helps if the guy you're throwing it to is in the same zip code. C'mon guys, this thing isn't over. Bear down!
