April 18th vs. Tampa Bay

At first I thought it bounced but when they showed the replay it was clear.

 

Sox: 10-4!

Me: 1-0!

someone check Tito's meds

 

"Timlin out there uncharacteristically lets an inherited runner score with back to back doubles"

 

:dance:

[Youk Of The Nation]

Mixing Timlin and inherited runners mix about as well as Iran and enriched uranium, yeah...but if Papelbon can keep pitching like gold and only have a shaky inning here and there, and if our defense can make plays like Stern did tonight, and if our offense can light up...it wont matter.

Just got back from the Phillies-Nationals game at Citizens Bank Park (I was pretty pised off because the scoreboard at the ballpark was going haywire and I had to follow the Sox game on my cell phone which was like 30 minutes behind.) Looked like an excellent game from the highlights I saw at the hotel, that Stern catch looked amazing.

the Nesn gun looks slow tonight

 

it was way off, on most of papelbons fastballs it said 85-88. The fastball Gathright struck out on was 96 according to Remy.

i think based on his first game and tonights game, clement should be limited to 6-7 innings and 80-90 pitches. He let up 3 runs in his last inning today and 4 against baltimore in his last inning also. You take away the Toronto game and hes really pitched well so far this year.

great ending!! few questionable call by the skip but overall its a win and il take it . schill on tomorow so lets keep rolling

Very solid start by clement against a rather underrated tampa lineup. I am impressed.

And the Drays lineup was missing Lugo, Huff, and Baldelli.

-Great game tonight!!! Clement pitched well and i would have still left him in there for one more batter in the 8th. I think Tito wanted to (his pitch count wasn't yet 100) but the long wait must have had an affect on clement and tito's decision to lift him. I love Timlin, but why bring him in with a guy on---that's asking for trouble. Paps struggled a little, but battled through and came out on top. Clement deserved the win tonight though!

 

-Youk looked awesome and should only get better with constant ab's! The weird thing is that i don't think snow is that much of an upgrade defensivly late in the game. It's not like when Millar was in there and they would go to eyechart at the end of the game--that was a vast difference!

 

-Pena looked good and took a lot of pitches-the work with papa jack and ortiz is paying off it looks like. Everyone else in the lineup looked good, although i don't think i would have had stern bunt in that situation!

 

-Nice to see manny starting to look like manny. He is getting better but not there yet, still dropping his head on some pitches where he normally wouldn't, but def getting a lot better

 

-That was a ballsy play by stern to end the game-----if he misses and it get's by him the game is tied with the go-ahead run in scoring position. However he made a great catch and deserves the credit!

 

 

Great win and Shill's tommorow!

I don't think the gun was off, Pap's fastball was around 94, 95, 96...

[Jeff04]

just got back from the game last night! It was a good performance by clement, but timlin seemed rocky and papelbon wasn't great. Manny finally looked like he is getting back into his usual groove. Overall a good night for everyone and now we're 10-4! keep it going for tonight
