That's all you have to ask.

 

Santana's done it SEVEN times today.

 

I agree. It seems like we need Wade Boggs or Tony Gwynn to make contact this evening. We'll have to wait him out and hope Schill pitches well.

[example1]

Another great inning for schill.

 

C'mon Papi!

[Youk Of The Nation]

8 pitch inning for Schill.

If Ortiz hits a homer this time, I will make a videotape of me lip-synching Vanessa Carlton's "1000 Miles" into a saltshaker while standing on a picnic table and send it to all of you.

[jsinger121]

1000 k's for santana for his career

[example1]

This is Pedro-esque right now. Santana looks unhittable.

[Youk Of The Nation]

1001 Ks.

 

 

Yeah, premature, I know. Or not.

[Youk Of The Nation]

*gasp*

[example1]

1-2-3 go the sox. 2 consecutive non-K's to end the inning!

[jsinger121]

8 k's through 4 for santana. Had he got manny and tek to K then I would have started to believe he could reach 20 k's tonight

[NomahsHammSammich]

1-2-3 go the sox. 2 consecutive non-K's to end the inning!

 

Yeah, I think we are getting to him.

[example1]

I think they need to break his rythem a little bit; step out of the box, tie your shoe, whatever. He has thrown 50 or so pitches over 4 innings in less than an hour. Break this s*** up!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Marvel at the unstoppable force of nature that is Joe Mauer.

 

 

...and the immovable object of defense that is Kevin Youkilis.

 

Unstoppable force, meet immovable object.

[TheKilo]

No match for Youk.

[example1]

Santana's changeup is amazing. I don't watch this guy pitch enough. He can throw that change at like 84 or 83, or 79, or 76... matched with a 95 heater and a slider that is as good as anyone's... jeez.

[Youk Of The Nation]

So far the only bright side is that Santana has thrown more pitches than Curt.

[TheKilo]

Wow.

 

 

All you can say, really.

[Youk Of The Nation]

f***ing hell.

[example1]

As long as this game is 0-0 I'm okay with the way it is.

[RedSoxRooter]

This Santana start is like watching Pedro in his prime. Awesome.

[riverside sluggers]

14-18 Ks Santana will end at

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

This is what Josh Beckett should learn to do with his changeup. I don't know if he can develop the same type of consistancy or movement but the velocity is great. He has a great change in velocity between his fastball and change. Beckett has about a 7 mph difference. Santana has about a 10 mph difference.....do something like that

[jsinger121]

It's really an embarassment that Houston let him go in the rule 5 draft to the marlins only for the marlins to then immediately trade him to the twins.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Didn't the Twins get Liriano in some rediculous trade also?

It shoul go as one of the biggest blunders by any team, like the twins letting papi go.

[jsinger121]

Didn't the Twins get Liriano in some rediculous trade also?

 

Yes......AJ for Nathan, Liriano and some other nobody I think

[Beckett95]

he is just pure filth. He is so dominating when his stuff is like this. Unhittable nasty stuff from Santana.

 

Thank God the Twins can't hit so this game should remain a good one.

[TheKilo]

Didn't the Twins get Liriano in some rediculous trade also?

 

 

If I recall, it was when they shipped Pyrzinski to the Giants.

 

 

They also got Joe Nathan in that seal I do believe. Could be wrong though.

[CrespoBlows]

Yes......AJ for Nathan, Liriano and some other nobody I think

 

 

Boof Bonser, another bright pitching prospect.

 

Oops.

[Cityofchampions33]

Schill better macth these goose eggs, because I have a feelin Santana's gonna be puttin up a lot of em
