July 31st vs Minnesota

[ORS]

Something to consider: He's throwing mostly FB's and cutters, but he's a 4 pitch pitcher. So he knows strategy because most hitters haven't seen his change or slider yet.

 

EDIT: That's probably due to way Tek is calling the game though.

[MC Hammer]

5 Ks for Paps ... 2nd time he K'ed Stewart

[YanksHater213]

Some of the pitches were way off in that at bat... but with all these K's, if thats a sign to come, we might need Pedro's K-Men back...

[YanksHater213]

Whew... that was scary for a second. Nice deflection job though.

[MC Hammer]

If I never see another linedrive hit back at a pitcher it'll be too soon. STOP TRYING TO KILL OUR PITCHERS DAMNIT

Papelbon's punch-outs?

 

It seems like he's having trouble locating the few breaking balls he's thrown.

Definatly. The first he threw waa a change up for a ball, the second was a HBP. I dunno as long as he's locating that heat I think he'll be fine.

[RedSoxRooter]

Not to take away from Paps, but what did you guys also think about Manny Delcarman the other night? I may have been a tad drunk at the time, but there was something that reminded me of pedro in him. He looked like he had great stuff.

 

I like this prospect thing.

[YanksHater213]

Cora got a hit! Amazing!

[ORS]

I was at Delcarmen's debut game in Tampa. Sat down the left field line by the Sox BP. He's impressive. With this series already won, maybe he'll get another inning or two today when Pap's done.

[MC Hammer]

Holy hell is that 2 hit and runs in 1 game ... I dont believe it.

[YanksHater213]

Ha, that was a pretty pathetic swing by Kapler.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

It's what happens when you guess fastball, and are wrong.

[MC Hammer]

Crap. Solo shot by Morneau

[Youk Of The Nation]

Agh, oh well.

[YanksHater213]

Bleh... solo homer for Morneau... 1-0 Twins.

[MC Hammer]

Good recovery. Another K. Now lets get the kid a couple runs.

[Youk Of The Nation]

6 Ks, 2 hits and one BB through 4 innings is still strong stuff.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Hey the kid's got six K's , 2 hits, one run. He's doing great ! Sox will come back.

[DrewDaGreat]

Eh, that sucks, but it sounds like he's still having a great game. We need to Pap some runs!

[yeszir]

And its a tie game! Ortiz is soooo good.

 

Papi helps Pap.

[YanksHater213]

Oh man, Ortiz f***ed that ball up. Crushed. 1-1

[Sox Fan on Cape]

There you go, Papi HR.

[MC Hammer]

Tie game. Solo shot by BIG PAPI

[Youk Of The Nation]

And Big Papi answers back!

 

And he says 'no soup for you' to Justin Morneau!

[DrewDaGreat]

Papi!!!!!

[yeszir]

Woohooo!!!!!!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Olerud!!!! I no longer want Mannys babies...I want to bear the children of Dark Helmet!

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Olerrud is on fire !! Back to back !

[YanksHater213]

Back to f***ing back. Olerud homer. 2-1 Sox. WHO NEEDS MANNY, WHEN YOUVE GOT OLERUD!
