[EvilDonut]

Fricken Stud

[riverside sluggers]

10 Ks!!!

 

Guys we are watching something special to behold

[EvilDonut]

10?!?!

[CrespoBlows]

Didn't Pedroia lead off the inning with a hit? I am work trying to watch the game.

 

Yeah, but why would we bunt?

 

Why are we playing for one run?

[CalvnHobs6]

10 Ks!!!! I need to change my pants.

[mar_022]

anyone else think this ump has been kind of inconsistent on the low corner call?

[CalvnHobs6]

I think it was an okay idea to bring him back for another inning.

 

7 IP 6 H 1 ER 1 BB 10 Ks.

[EvilDonut]

Too bad.

 

 

 

One more inning? then Papelbon?

 

Hell yes

[riverside sluggers]

7 innings (108 pitches)- 6 Hits, 1 Run, 1 Walk, 10 Ks

 

Donnelly for the 8th?

[ThirdBase]

God I hope he can pitch every 7th inning like that!

[CalvnHobs6]

Let's not overlook Greinke. He's really matched Dice K for the most part, and this was a big start for him after his troubles last year.

[EvilDonut]

God I hope he can pitch every 7th inning like that!

 

I hope he can pitch every inning like that

[CrespoBlows]

7 innings (108 pitches)- 6 Hits, 1 Run, 1 Walk, 10 Ks

 

Donnelly for the 8th?

 

I'll go with Dice-K.

[CalvnHobs6]

Let's tee off on Peralta.

[EvilDonut]

Padding from Papi?

[Rdsxmbnt]

Dice-K looked like he could have easily finished off the 8th or even 9th but no sense in overworking him early on i guess

[mosox]

Yeah, but why would we bunt?

 

Why are we playing for one run?

 

Yes you play for one run. On the road and leading by one.

[CrespoBlows]

Yes you play for one run. On the road and leading by one.

 

Why?

 

Seriously, I don't get it. You still need a base hit to knock home Pedroia. Plus, you're giving up the opportunity for base runners for the big guys.

[ThirdBase]

THERE'S PAPI

[CalvnHobs6]

There we go big Papi. He's certainly glad to see Greinke go.

[EvilDonut]

I love when he does that

[CalvnHobs6]

Dice-K looked like he could have easily finished off the 8th or even 9th but no sense in overworking him early on i guess

 

What's interesting is that it's not even overworking him. It's just working him. He regularly throws a ridiculous amount of pitches. But Tito needs to be careful with him getting American rest versus Japanese rest - 5 man vs 6 man.

[Rdsxmbnt]

lol nice Ortiz!

[TGov]

Look at that Ortiz, no one's faster...

[EvilDonut]

Yep......Padding from papi

[riverside sluggers]

David Ortiz flashing off his "speed":ortiz:

[mosox]

Why?

 

Seriously, I don't get it. You still need a base hit to knock home Pedroia.

 

In a game where they've score only two runs, it's better to get that one hit then hoping for 2 or 3 in a row.

[CalvnHobs6]

YEAH PAPI! I love when he runs.

[VA Sox Fan]

Papi steals home!!!!!!! Thanks for the WP!

[TGov]

There goes the next Rookie of the year, HA...
