Anyone know who's catching for wakefield tonight?

[Master Shake]

shoppach or varitek?????

[Master Shake]

sorry if that's a dumb question... but I just got tickets to tonight's game and Varitek is my fave. I know he's been catching for wake lately but he had the day off the other day and I know wake usually has mirabelli catching so I wasn't sure if there was going to be a change tonight.

I would think it's Varitek because Shopp has limited exposure to knucklers. I think there's a pretty good chance you're going to get to see your favorite player tonight.

awesome, thanks:)

varitek always catches wakefeild and the other guy sucks

[Zenny]

You're an idiot. Mirabelli always catches Wakefield. Since he's on the DL, Shoppach is on the big league club. He also far from sucks. Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean he isn't good.

Are you a Red Sox fan? 1 Varitek rarely catches Wakefield and 2 What did you expect Shoppach to come up and start hitting .300?

[Sox fan in Tex]

Haha, yeah... and even when V-tek catches Wake, it's usually not pretty (World Series last year as an example). I'd be about 97% sure that you'll see Varitek behind the plate tonight, Master Shake. Unless something comes up, he'll be there. Hope you get to see a great game.

Tek. He caught Wake before 'Belli came (hows that for shortening names), and he's done it before. It would be unfair to Shopp (again) to make him catch a knuckler in what would be the 3rd start of his career.

 

edit: Also, welcome to Master Shake. I don't recall ever seeing you post before, glad you decided to start!

Starting Shopp with a knuckleballer is the equivalent of starting me at third base at pawtucket tomorrow it just wouldn't be right.

Thanks for the welcome

 

 

Anyway, the game was fun, it is always fun at Fenway no matter the score. This is my second time this season watching the sox play the orioles @ fenway though and the second time they lost so I hate the O's haha... but at least when we got finally got 3 runs in (I think) the 7th inning it was a lot of fun cheering the team on. and a 9-3 loss isnt as bad as a shutout I suppose. The only time I got really upset was when they pulled Tek and put Shoppach in. like I said Tek is my fave (and w/ Mirabelli being out, I gotta admit he does need some time off once in a while) and I got nothing against a new catcher, but as soon as the switch was made, the bases were loaded w/ 2 out and it was Tek's (now Shoppach's) turn at bat. I would have loved to see Varitek at bat with the bases loaded - if he had homered I would have peed myself. it was still fun, got tickets to a couple more games this season, I swear going to fenway is far too addicting.

 

Thanks again everybody for the help
