April 4th @ Kansas City

[example1]

And this is my last rip of MLB for tonight' date=' 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.[/quote']

 

LIke what? Commercials?

[ANiMAL]

Does anybody eles think this umpire has been inconsistent tonight?

 

on gameday, it has a lot of balls that show up to be on the midline of the bottom of the strike zone

I thought the same thing....

[riverside sluggers]

Gil Meche Part 2

 

Odalis Perez-- 1st inning, 28 pitches

 

Since 1st inning- 28 Pitches

[ANiMAL]

alright, first hit for v-tek

[TheKilo]

Strikeouts are fascist, Nuke.

[riverside sluggers]

Like Remy said, now Beckett wants to keep throwing his curve. Since its a cold night, its hard for most pitchers to get a good grip for them

[Cocos Disciples]

Gahhh...Beckett just hasn't looked sharp.

[example1]

Nice dive Manny!

[example1]

Gahhh...Beckett just hasn't looked sharp.

 

He hasn't looked unsharp though. He has had a few too many walks but he has also overpowered a few guys and hasn't had very many hard hit balls. Knock on wood, of course.

 

C'mon Josh, buckle down!

[TheKilo]

Nice dive Manny!

 

Ok, so you want him to dive and let the ball get by him?

 

It's a run if it does...

 

edit - 3-1.

[riverside sluggers]

How about 5 innings Josh?

[example1]

Ok, so you want him to dive and let the ball get by him?

Of course I don't want to see him dive TheKilo, but I wouldn't mind seeing him hustle.

 

He looks like he's playing LF in an easychair.

[example1]

This could be the game right here for Beckett. Get Pena out when you can, 1-2 count.

[ANiMAL]

id rather see him play it safe than to risk extra bases and a possible triple

[TheKilo]

Of course I don't want to see him dive TheKilo, but I wouldn't mind seeing him hustle.

Ehh it would have been a really tough catch. Not a bad play to play it safe there.

 

How was that not a strike?

[example1]

Perez has been getting those calls tonight. Hmmm

[Cocos Disciples]

Attaboy.

[example1]

Believe me, I don't want Manny diving for anything but I understand why the Sox think about the possibilities of having an actual leftfielder. Not so much important in Fenway, but certainly in these large outfields he can look really bad.

 

Hell yeah Josh. Nice pitch!

[riverside sluggers]

Beckett has had to deal with a small strike zone today. I expect a longer outing for the home opener vs Seattle

[example1]

Is he done?

[TheKilo]

Is he done?

 

80 through 4, he should be good for one, maybe two more.

[example1]

Does anything still think Pedroia is overmatched in the batters box? Whatever happens in this AB I think he looks like he can hit MLB pitching.

[example1]

80 through 4' date=' he should be good for one, [i']maybe[/i] two more.

 

How about 2?

[ANiMAL]

he worked the count out to 6 pitches after starting out 2 strikes, thats pretty good i think

[example1]

I think Lugo runs in this situation.

[TheKilo]

Lugo draws a walk?

 

Double yoo tee eff

[example1]

Nevermind, forgot Perez is a lefty.

[example1]

I miss Ambiroux Burgous.

[example1]

YOu can see the effect Lugo has on a pitcher's concentration.
