Last time we shutdown a team after 4 runs in the first, we reeled off like 30+ shutout innings. Just saying…

This one has the extra oomph of also winning the day before despite being almost no-hit by ex-Red Sox Ed-Rod.

The home plate umpire.

Haha, I'm guessing some of the earlier strike calls.

Orioles didn’t strike out tonight.

That's what I surmised. Oh well--it all evens out unless it's Yankee Stadium.

That's amazing. I'm sure that didn't escape the Red Sox's notice--that shows a very scary different type of mastery, esp. against someone like Sale.

The same umpire and strike zone the Os had.  He's upset he didn't get an advantage.

Alex Cora can go you know what himself.  Nothing worse than a whining cheater.

By the way, we have a crapload of come.feom behind wins already this year.

 

How often does the first team to score hold on to win a game without giving up a lead?  The come from behind win start should really only count if it is in the last 3 innings or so?  Being down 1-0 in the first and winning isn't nearly as notable.

Not sure about that but they win at a 68.9% clip.

According to Google.

True but we've been down 4 a few times. I think one of those Oakland games they were 90% to win. +4 in the 3rd inning the Sox were over 80% to win.

Yes.  Those are much more satisfying.  I have to admit, I was agnostic about getting the W today.  Great win for the Os.

Lol Cora wondering if Os could tell Sale was tipping his pitches.
