Game 4 preview:
Up 2-1 the Guardians try to win the series behind Carlos Carrasco. The Sox have scored 9 runs in three games, 8 if you don't count their ghost runner that scored in the 10th on Tuesday. But Tyler O'Neill may be back and they'll probably have Conner Wong DH considering the way he hits the Guardians.
The Red Sox will go with a bullpen day, which they are able to do thanks to Houck's complete game Wednesday. What a time for it! They really needed it badly.
Brennan Bernardino, a lefty, will start. He has allowed one earned run in 5.1 innings. His longest outing this year has been 29 pitches. Current Guardians are 2-for-16 against him. They have two other lefties in the pen and we'll probably see both of them.
I hate bullpen days because the opposing manager can bring in whatever reliever is the best matchup based on who is coming up that inning. It's tough to score on bullpen days unless you run into one guy who just doesn't have it. Vogt will probably alternate left- and right-handed batters.
I think this is an important start for Cookie. His first three starts were:
5 innings, 3 runs
3 innings, 1 run, 1 hit
4.2 innings, 1 run (but 5 hits and 5 walks)
He's getting better little-by-little. I want to see if he can take the next step which is 5 innings and 1 run, or even get an out or two in the 6th.
Current members of the Red Sox are hitting .353 against Cookie (6-for-17), but all six of their hits have been singles and none of them have an RBI. Connor Wong is 2-for-2, of course. He's 10-for-21 against the Guardians lifetime with three home runs, two of which were hit in the last two days.
It would be really nice to go 3-1 against Boston in their house.
