Foulke's outing

[MANNYHOF24]

I didn't catch the game today, but when i read the boxscore it appeared that keith pitched well 1.2 innings 0 hits 1 k. I was just curious how he looked on the mound today?

[Sox fan in Tex]

I thought he looked real good. It's not like the 1 2/3 innings consisted of easy guys to get out, either. He started off by striking out Everett on a changeup that made Carl look foolish, and got out of the first and second jam by getting Posednik to ground out. He started off the next inning by hitting Rowand, but got the next three outs after that pretty easily (one was a sac-bunt and the other two were pop outs on the infield). I thought he pitched well out there and watching him pitch reminded me more of what he did in 2004 than what he did before he went on the DL this year. I definitely believe him when he said he's stronger now than he was even in '04. I really think he will be big in closing games this year.

better than he has looked all season..IMO...good location...needs a few mph on the fastball but its getting there.

 

He looked like he was gaining confidence with every pitch,

I have been a harsh critic and even I was impressed.

[AnibalJonJon]

He looked ok, location is almost there, change was filthy, FB only hit 87-88mph tho ...

[MC Hammer]

his fastball was only hitting 88 last year

[AnibalJonJon]

I don't know how to explain it but it was a lifeless 88mph today, probably the radar ...

[riverside sluggers]

you dont understand, location is key and he was pinpointing that accurately, oh and by the way tek was guiding him what pitches to throw. 1.2 innings with no hits, damn you tek

More likely just you talking out of your ass.

Wow, you guys can't let anyone live downa comment :dunno:

 

 

I watched the whole game............................................................yea, he did ok

[yankeessuck013]

A few more quality appearances and Foulke should be ready to close games

[riverside sluggers]

so far 2 innings, 1 hit, 1 K--if he's able to do the same during the yankees series, id say hes ready

[BoSox21]

I was encouraged but I'd like to see a few more appearances like this

 

remember Schilling's last bullpen outing, 2 perfect innings but look how he's performed since

[riverside sluggers]

as i had said if he does well during the Yankees seres (which would be more appearances)---actually curt's last bullpen outing was a rough one against the angels: in 1 inning had given up 3 Hits, 1 Run

[BoSox21]

ah thats right, my mistake

[soxie thefangirl]

foulke pitched very well.

[AnibalJonJon]

LOL... can't I have my own opinion ?

 

 

Anyways, Foulke did ok, lets all remember that the chisox are not known for their offense ...

Yeah you can but not when you back track from something you say. You said he was "only" hitting 88 ... like he was throwing 95 last year. Then when I tell you he was only hitting 88 last year you say "oh well it must have been a lifeless 88" do you even know what that means? I think if anything you not knowing how hard Foulke threw last year further cements your status as the Mr. Bandwagon of Talksox.

 

Anyway, to stay on topic, I'm really excited to see Foulke back out there hurlin. Our pitching situation with no ace and no closer was really starting to get me worried, but now Schilling seems to be coming around, and now Foulke. I'm really starting to like our chances more and more every day.
