April 4th @ Kansas City

Who's that chick playing LF?

[ORS]

I'm not watching, but I am following on Gameday, so I don't know how he looks, but Beckett seems wild thus far.

[ANiMAL]

1st inning, 18 pitches for Beckett and 10 of them were balls. Thats not good.

[riverside sluggers]

I think the quality is better, actually (thanks for mentioning it, as I hadn't noticed you could choose).

 

Very nice turn by Pedroia too.

 

I love when he starts to prove the doubts wrong little by little, he even got some praise from Jerry Remy. Whom hasnt had that much backing for Dusty

 

Good inning by Beckett. 18 pitches, 1 hit, 1 Walk allowed. Considering its his 1st start and getting really cold for baseball, I'll take that easily

[Dana Kiecker]

almost Curt like

[example1]

What the hell pitch did Perez throw Crisp? It looked like it had no rotation at all...

[Youk Of The Nation]

First K of the game for Beckett.

[Mr Crunchy]

2ndbb for becks

nothin worse than the 2out bb

[Youk Of The Nation]

2ndbb for becks

nothin worse than the 2out bb

 

Nothing? Not even giving up a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth in game seven of the World Series? Not having your ace get hit by a bus? Not waking up one morning only to find out Jeffrey Loria is your team owner? 2 out walks? Thats the worst thing?

[riverside sluggers]

phew, at first glance I thought Larue's hit to left field was a homerun

[southpaw]

Was MLB gameday right....Manny just K'ed on 3 pitches, all looking? Is he awake?

[schillingouttheks]

I think so... he did hit a scorcher to left center last inning.

 

That last pitch was weird. It wasn't located well at all but still went over the plate. Whatever...Manny's the last person to worry about.

[Mr Crunchy]

ez youk

figure of speech

time and place sort of thing

when youre up 3 dont walk the guy with 2 outs

 

i agree

there are worse things

[southpaw]

Well, that's not so bad then....I hate "watching" games on gameday.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I was just screwing around.

[RedSoxRooter]

Ok, downloaded and installed the Mosaic package. It's nothing but ESPN gameday with a weak vid stream. It's hard to watch. I can't go back to watching baseball like this. I think they have lost me as a fan. This sucks.

 

I don't think I'm even going to take Patriot's Day off to watch, like I normally do. It's just not worth it anymore. I never used to say "It's just baseball" but really it is. It's just a bunch of drugged up athletes performing heroics for a league that just doesn't give a s*** about the fans. I'll never hate the game, but I hate Major League Baseball right now.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Error my ass.

[Youk Of The Nation]

What the hell?

[southpaw]

2 in a row? C'mon LowEll.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Mike Lol

[Youk Of The Nation]

Remy is right though. Thats something youll probably never see again.

[TheKilo]

Aces.

 

Big K for Beckett. He does seem a bit wild tonight, and struggling with the command of his breaking ball.

 

edit - JD picks up Lowell. Fantastic.

[riverside sluggers]

Great range by Drew

 

EDIT: Beckett up to 58 pitches through 3 innings. If not for those 2 Lowell errors, he would be at 50. Here's hoping he at least goes 6

[MANNYHOF24]

Nice catch by Drew, great job by Beckett after the 2 errors by Lowell.

[MANNYHOF24]

Does anybody eles think this umpire has been inconsistent tonight?

[ANiMAL]

his command seems to be getting better, now hes even with strikes and balls

[TheKilo]

Does anybody eles think this umpire has been inconsistent tonight?

 

Erratic zone.

 

Drew goes deep here.

[Mr Crunchy]

nice bailout

[RedSoxRooter]

And this is my last rip of MLB for tonight, but you'd think that for 700 million. 700 MILLION, you'd think they'd have something better than Pong to watch during the commercial breaks. Sheesh.

[example1]

Would Trot have had that ball? Drew's speed is impressive.

 

As for Mosaic, I don't really like it either. Watching games on my computer is very frustrating but its not going to make me hate MLB. I think the game itself is pretty damn good, but they are walking on VERY think ice with me after the whole DirectTV thing.
