A a Batter gets in and gets ready but when the gamesmanship becomes Bull that a going too far a la Russa said. A a Hirschbeck said he  let it be  Crew chief Jim Evans said it Wasny to entirely Boston batters doing although it sure looked that Way. A Welch works fast and sometimes a hitter Steps out and he a not always looking in a Evans said. A with the noise of the crowd he a not aware the Guy is stepping out. They weren to calling time at the last  Oakland for the second straight night had 13 hits and waited until the last few innings to win against Bostons bullpen. Baines hard groundnut with the bases loaded put Oakland ahead 2-1 in the seventh and the athletics added two More in the ninth. Eckersley then set a postseason record with his ninth career save. A we stayed in the game again until anything now. They score  once again Boston Hung Tough. It led Early As it did in saturday nights 9-1 loss but again the red sox bullpen let the athletics pull away. Welch held Boston to one run on four hits. Eckersley escaped a bases loaded Jam in the eighth by striking out Dwight Evans on three pitches. Welch with a 6.07 earned run average in 13 postseason games was in control the whole Way. He struck out four and walked three. A the Only thing that a going to help us beat them is to score runs. That a it a Bostons Tom Brunansky said. A you can to expect to beat Oakland when you score one run a  red sox Rookie Dana Kiecker held Oakland to one run on six hits in 5% innings. All night Long the red sox and the crowd of 35,070 seemed to sense trouble. Twice Rickey Henderson sent Center fielder Ellis Burks to the Wall with two runners on but the athletics never broke entirely Loose until the end. Greg Harris a starter since april 28, took the loss. He gave up singles to Mike Gallego and Rickey Henderson in the seventh and Larry Andersen gave up Baines bases loaded grounder with one out. Lansford got three hits for the second straight game and Oakland scored twice m the ninth on Baines rib double and tuesday october 9,1990 the stars and stripes a a a Page 23 ta15ssrftuxes" a Asa sbdi"8 catch of Dwight Evans of a a or Thinnis a a drive As second baseman Mike Gallego watches Mark Mcgwire a single. A a we be been a Little tight out there and we just have to loosen up a Little More a Burks said. A a it a frustrating losing two games at  both teams wasted bases loaded threats in the sixth with Oakland getting four hits in the inning but hitting the Ball too sharply to score. Jose Canseco led off with a single. He was running on a full count pitch when Baines hit a grounder so hard to second base that the red sox were Able to turn a double play. Singles by Mcgwire and Lansford finished Kiecker and hams gave up a single to Ron Hassey that reached right fielder Brunansky too fast for Mcgwire to try for the plate. The athletics batted .343 this season with the bases loaded and Walt Weiss went 2 for 3 in those situations. This time though the red sox escaped when Weiss grounded into a Force play. Boston scratched Back in its half of the sixth. Boggs singled with one out for Only his second hit in 22 career at bats against Welch. Mike Greenwell walked with two outs before Weiss fumbled a grounder by Evans. The red sox hit just .268 with the bases loaded with Brunansky going Only 2-for-15, and neither average improved As the big Guy bounced into a puny Force out. The red sox put runners in scoring position in each of the first four innings. They took a 1-0 Lead in the third when Luis Rivera got a double off the left Field Wall advanced on Jody Reeds right Side grounder and scored on Carlos Quintanas sacrifice Fly. The athletics went quietly in the first three innings managing Only Lansford a single before tying it in the fourth. Mcgee doubled Down the right Field line and scored on Baines solid single to right. A this is a winning team a Mcgee said. A a in be played on winning teams from the Little league on and there a something about them where they re All pulling together. But this is definitely the Best team in be Ever played  with Kiecker asking to change balls on several occasions and Boston batters stepping out on Welch the game proceeded at a Lull some Pace. Maybe that a what prompted three fans to jump onto the Licud at different intervals. One Man ran out to shake hands with Bostons three outfielders during a pitching change. A woman ran on to embrace Canseco in right Field. And one Man paraded behind first base in an old Rea sox uniform bearing no. 3, perhaps to shoo away the ghosts that have haunted Boston Ever since babe Ruth was traded away in 1919, one year after the red sox last won the world series. Maybe the red sox could use that Guy in the lineup. Their hitting can to get any  sox from Page 21 Larry Andersen said. A the Only Way we could have on to a the last t0 games was to pitch two shut ?f0/,anybody to expect us to pitch two shutouts against the a a is  a in Azo by the bullpen a unravelling of Roger Clem six shutout innings in game 1 saturday night mor or spied Garter Dana Kiecker after the right hand in.

So then Pitcher to the bullpen and use another that a not How the a a bullpen works. Oakland manager Tony la Russa called on Rick Honeycutt and Dennis Eckersley to bail Welch out with one out in the eighth and runners on first and second. No problem Here a five men up five men Down. A their bullpen is Tough a Morgan said a and so is their whole  the red sox had to squirm through 316 innings in which Greg Harris Andersen and Jeff Reardon allowed nine of the 17 a a they faced to reach safely scoring three runs and turning a 1-1 game into the 4-1 loss. Bostons two starters have left with a one run Lead and a tie that the bullpen has torched into losses. Clemens and Keicker have combined to hold Oakland to one run Over 11% innings an 0.77 Era. The endless string of relievers has detonated to the tune of 12 runs in 716 innings a neck spinning 14.73 Era. A i done to think anybody is Happy being part of the bullpen and the bullpen feeling partially responsible for the two losses a Andersen said. A last night the bullpen fell apart. Tonight it was a 2-1 game in the seventh. In a not ecstatic that we be lost these two games in the bullpen. In a not saying we re not at fault but look at the other Side. We re not scoring  in game 1, five relievers yielded nine runs before they could get nine outs and three of those outs came on a sacrifice bunt and two sacrifice flies. This time Harris gave up three singles to the four batters he faced and was the loser. Andersen game los loser retired three out of five hitters a Stellar performance among this Crew but he had to be saved by first baseman Carlos Quintanas diving Stop of a bases loaded grounder hit by Harold Baines. Even the Good plays can to make up for this bullpen Shandy work a Baines hit drove in the decisive run in the seventh. Reardon needed a leaping catch by Cente fielder Ellis Burks to strand two base runners in the eighth. In the ninth Reardon was tagged for three hits and two runs. A a it a been kind of fun watching our Guys run the bases a la Russa said. Television baseball a Al championship series game 3, Boston at Oakland 8 .
