April 16th vs. Seattle

[ksushi]

Yeah, we're really stranding a lot of guys, but I also think that we are putting a lot of guys on base. It looks worse than it is. If we keep putting guys on base at this pace, the percentages will end up in our favor and we will see a lot of ball games broken open.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I just hope that Beckett gets the win and Papsgets the save.

I just hope the sox win the game.

[ACL BoSox]

does anyone else notice Pena lollygagging in the OF

[jsinger121]

He looked very lazy on that play out there

[jsinger121]

nixon can't come back quick enough so he can get back in right

[Rdsxmbnt]

Ya Pena needs to move alot faster, no way that should be a triple

[Rdsxmbnt]

YES! Beckett got him

[jsinger121]

And Beckett gets back to back K's and is fired up

[ksushi]

That, folks, is what aces do. Stranding the tying run at 3rd with one out, on back to back strike outs no less, is ace work. This bodes well for the Sox.

[CrespoBlows]

Anyone else got a man crush on Beckett yet?

[a700hitter]

Let's hope nothing gets hit to Pena for the next two innings and then Stern goes in for defense.

YES! absolutely.

That really wasn't Pena's fault. Ibanez flew to third, and that was a perfectly placed ball.

Ah, the provobial hide the weak player, good point.

[ACL BoSox]

I think Pena is better suited for LF, but I can't imagine Manny in RF, plus his scoreboard buddies would be pissed.

[ksushi]

Gah, I really am getting annoyed with the Pena bashing. No one talks about the way he has begun to take pitches, or the way he is hitting .316, not that batting averages matter right now but thats still a good way to hit considering everyone is already on Mannys case and Lorettas for that matter.

Manny came up as a right fielder with the Guardians and only moved to Left field once he signed with Boston.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Pena in RF at Fenway looks pretty bad. But Fenway has a very large RF so its going to give a guy like Pena some problems, but hopefully on the road hes a little better.

[a700hitter]

RF in Fenway is very tough and it will expose many OF's . Last year, I was at Fenway and I watched Figgins look lost out there. We have also been spoiled by Nixon. I heard about some statistical study that showed that Trot is the best RF, but I don't have a link. I like Wily Mo, and I think he will be an offensive force.

Manny playing LF had how many put outs ?

[a700hitter]

Manny has taken some good swings the last couple of days. He hit some loud fouls yesterday, and he just hit a bullet at Beltre. It's coming. It's coming.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I'm with you I'm waiting for Manny to explode.

[a700hitter]

Nice catch by Manny. All field No hit.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

When would you have thought you'd say that !!

[Rdsxmbnt]

who is this guy in LF!?!?!

[ksushi]

He is making all the plays, but when he does, he looks like hes drunk.

[jsinger121]

another nice catch by manny

[a700hitter]

Manny flashing leather again. He worked very hard on defense this spring...no joking he really did.
