Who pitches against Toronto Tuesday?

[Beckett95]

id go with Lester, especially if Wells is going to be out for a while, but it looks like it will be either Ginter or Alvarez. Theres also the slim chance that Wells isnt hurt that bad and may not have to skip his start. With an off day on Thursday, Schilling could possibly pitch on short rest. That seems unlikely to. The only other guy i could see possibly getting a shot is David Pauley, but highly unlikely.

Alvarez.

 

Lester can make his debut against the Royals.

[ksushi]

Lester is not ready for the major leagues yet. Alvarez.

[a700hitter]

Clemens should be a choice.

[DrewDaGreat]

Won't it be Beckett? It's Wednesday that we need to worry about.

 

Sat - Schilling

Sun - Wake

Mon - Clement

Tues - Beckett

The Sox will sacrafice Alvarez to the Blue Jays

[Soxfan1]

Alvarez might get lucky.

[MANNYHOF24]

Alvarez, like Lenny Dinardo would get killed by the Jays. This series is hugly important, we cant just send some one out there who we know is going to get bombed. I say Jon Lester

[SuperManny]

Craig Hansen - jk but he actually would be a better option than Ginter or Alvarez. The Jays will absolutely kill a soft tossing lefty like Alvarez and I'm a huge Alvarez fan.

[Beckett95]

ya it is wednesday, not tuesday. My only problem with Alvarez is that he would give up a lot of HR's against a good hitting team like the Jays at their park. I dont know much about Ginter other than he hasn't been a successful MLB pitcher in his career.

That's what I was thinking.

[Beckett95]

atleast it looks like Wells is going to be fine. Only a bruise and could pitch as early as Wednesday.

[rbreg7]

Right now the Red Sox official site has Wells as the starter for that game going up against Ted Lilly.

 

As far as Lester goes, he's 3-4 with a 3.13 ERA for the Paw Sox through 37.1 IP.

[Beckett95]

ya for wednesday's game it says

 

Wells attempts to come back from a scary injury in his last start. The 43-year-old veteran left-hander took a line drive off his right knee, the same knee that kept him out of action since April 12. Before the liner off the bat of Travis Lee in the fifth, Wells was in command, allowing just one run, coming on a Carl Crawford solo shot to right. Wells faced Toronto in his first and only other start of the season, allowing 10 hits and seven runs over four innings.

[riverside sluggers]

Boston Herald is reporting that Abe Alvarez is expected to get the start tomorrow night, Toronto is the best team hitting against lefties this season. And the Sox get to face Sox killer lefty Ted Lilly. Heres hoping something gets done :dunno:

This will be Alvarez's first career appearance vs Toronto

[schillingouttheks]

If we win tonight, I will make sure to start the gamethread. Ted Lilly is no match for the PSYCHADELIC MOJO.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

rotoworld.com is saying David Pauley will come up for Boston to pitch in place of David Wells.

 

....perhaps they are not as worried about him failing for the Red Sox as opposed to Jon Lester or Craig Hansen. At 22 years old he is having a great season in Portland but thats quite a jump for him.

[RoyNHSox]

Lester wasn’t considered because he already pitched on Saturday.

[Beckett95]

id almost consider having Van Buren, Foulke, Delcarmen and Papelbon pitch the whole game. Get a couple innings out of each and see what happens.

 

I feel bad for Pauley that he has to face the Jays who have been hitting real well in the first 2 games.

[pats55sox45]

what are pauley's numbers this yr

[redsoxrules]
