I never thought I'd be saying this, but it looks like Tampa Bay's the FAVORITE in this one. Brazleton's #s are pretty good, and Lowe's #s are...well....bad.

 

The thing that jumped out at me as a bad sign for TB (good for Boston perhaps) is his K:BB ratio. He actualy has walked 38 and K'd 38. Not a good thing...

 

However, with a .204 BAA this year, it seems he dominates hitters when he can control his stuff.

 

On another note, he seems WAY more dominant at home than on the road

 

Road: 5.66 ERA, 0-2, .266 BAA

Home: 1.27 ERA, 4-1, .176 BAA

If Dewon is de-on, the Sox are screwed.

we should win this, we should be sweeping this goddamn team...we should be in first in the wildcard and not tied with the godforsaken angels...WE SHOULD BE WINNING MORE THAN THIS!!!!

Brazelton at Fenway?

[elsrbueno]

Well, Brazleton's out, and it's 8-1 Sox.

 

Nobody posting tonight? Well, I won't be either after this. Just thought I'd comment.

[yeszir]

13-1 now. Absolute dominance, the way it should be.

 

And things have been slow all week, and all summer too. People are busy I guess. I'd expect things to pick up soon.

[CrespoBlows]

4-4 for Millar, what a game.

[sarasoxfan]

14-4!!!!

 

How about that Millar, nice turnaround.!!!1

 

DO 100...

 

This is the way it should be. This is the way we shiould mahandle teams like this.

 

More of this tomorrow...

 

Myers...Nice pick-up...

 

I heard Nomore had two strikeouts, probably will go on DL tomorrow.

 

Oh, what am I doing, I'll just enjoy this moment and savor the win, night boys!

i wish i could have gone...

[elsrbueno]

Yep, nice win. Let's hope this is the start of a winning streak!

 

Maybe the bats are waking up!

 

By the way, Orlando made some good plays yesterday too, and Youk made a diving stop to kill the first inning rally. Possibly a momentum turning play.

 

Defense actually helped us instead of hurting us! What a great sign!
