i think i read somewhere that the Guardians are the only al opponent that shill has never beat. knock on wood.

[YanksHater213]

If Schilling can keep it up, we will probably end up pushign their s*** in.

[BoSox34]

I have a good feeling Schilling will continue his great start with a 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 K effort and we take the first game of the series, 5-2.

[riverside sluggers]

its the only al opponent he hasnt beat while with the red sox. He does have a 1-2 record against them, that win coming in an interleague game in his time with Philadelphia or Arizona

[YazYaz04]

Sounds like it is going to be a good matchup at the jake, I am going to have to use the MLB.COM Free gamecasts things since I don't get nesn. Damn. Schill keeps it up, 5-0, damn thats a good start, I think wake can rebound tomorrow. It's all good right now.

[mtbykr]

I was gone (in the middle of nowhere) over the weekend so i missed fri and sat games--and saw a bit of sunday's via tivo, then a day off-----------------bout time we had another game:D I was starting to go through withdrawls!!

[reddy]

I think it will be more difficult tomorrow 'cause Cleveland have good hitters and I'm not sure Wakefield will strike out a lot .... defense !

You're right. Wake may not strike out a lot of people, but we won't have to worry about that until tomorrow night. Schill's on the mound tonight

 

Sox take it tonight. I expect a breakout from the Sox tonight. Hopefully Manny can continue and break out even more with his recent success against his former club and silence the crowd early.

 

GO SOX!

[hoefdj18]

with wake on the mound the Guardians are going to take advantage of wake's slow approach and attempt a lot of steals. so i expect for that game for bard to look pretty shakey and have a lot of passballs. but that is tomorrow, tonite shill is going to shut em down. manny is going to have a 2 hr night against his old club. let's go sox.

[schillingouttheks]

Tomorrow night, I'm looking forward to see Aaron f***in' Boone against Wake again

 

<_>

ok Bard has been getting better with each start, Wakefield is comfortable with him and it has shown. A thorn in Wakefield's side has been that the Sox bats seem to take a holiday when he's pitching, they need to answer the call tomorrow.

 

first start- 4 passed balls

last 3 starts- 2 passed balls

 

first start- 7 Runs in 3.2 innings

last 3 starts- 7 Runs (4 ER) in 24 innings pitched

 

5 total run support from Sox offense in his first 4 starts

[YazYaz04]

i didn't realize that run support number, wow that is low.

[hoefdj18]

i was not saying that bard is bad, i just was trying to say that since the Guardians are going to take advantage of wake's slow set up, the Guardians are going to run all over the place, and it will just add something more bard will have to worry about and that might lead to more passballs coupled with trying to catch knucklers. it will take a while for bard to get used to catching for wake, and it is nice to see his progress since his first start. very promising. but yea, wake needs to get some f***ing run support. i feel bad for him.

Jeter gives the yankees a 2-1 lead, YAHOOOO!!!!

[mtbykr]

Geez, why is harris in center again tonight. Can we please get Mohr some consistant ab's. He did very well in ST with constant ab's, i would like to see what he could do now.

 

Oh a bright side, shill struck out his first guy:D

[stocker323]

The game is on if anyone noticed. Schill with a nice pitch there to K Grady.

Last time I checked the Yankees weren't playing in this thread so start your own thread somewhere else.

How does this have anything to do with the sox/Guardians? Go away!:banned:

We usually do use this thread to discuss other games in the MLB...

[jsinger121]

I don't care about other games in MLB....I care about red sox talk.....The Yankees are for the general baseball discussion.

[mtbykr]

Shill with 2k's for the first 2 outs!

Bravo!!! Besides he was only coming in here to gloat:rolleyes:

[jsinger121]

Schilling K's the side in order

[mtbykr]

Shill strikes out the side, nice start!!:thumbsup:

[jsinger121]

Schill looks real good to the start game. With the temperature in Cleveland in the 30's it might be tough to score runs tonight.

[jsinger121]

2 on no out for the sox but the srubs in willie harris and gonzalez are coming up
