1,2,3 Indians make outs. Red Sox up.
To: Fido969
The Sox have the arms to shut down the Indians for the rest of the game.
To: Fido969
True. If the Red Sox lose this game, nobody can blame it on that Japanese pitcher known as "Dice-K". He gave up just two runs and left with a 3-2 lead after 5.

As of right now, Dice K is in line for the win and Westbrook takes the loss.

Westbrook can shut us down for the rest of the game and it won’t matter as long as our pen does their job.

Well he does seem to be getting better as the game wears on.

Red Sox are going to need those nine outs without giving up any more runs. As it appears they aren’t going to be getting any more runs themselves.

This is awful. Francoma may have cost us the trip to the World Series by not sending Lugo...

93 pitches and 56 or something strikes?
Need to get him to throw pitches - a 10 pitch foul-ball fiesta at-bat would wear him down. He gave a a lot of hits the first 3 innings and then just settled down.

Well actually he may have cost us by sending Lugo when he did. That caused a double play on a ball that would have been a base hit. Its a crap shoot.

Lofton is up 2nd, so Oki. He’s a lefty.
