April 7th @ Texas

[riverside sluggers]

The rookie was focusing on trying to hit that big 2 run HR. Good work boys at least we got a run back

[MANNYHOF24]

Although Pedroia took a hard cut and a miss' date=' his swing didn't look as long as it did last year and in ST.[/quote']

 

Still with two outs and a man at third being down by one run, you would like to see him try to line it some where instead of trying to hit the ball out of the park.

He still does have a big swing for his size but like you said it doesn't look as big as last year, his swing now just looks like a power swing but a little more defined...

[MANNYHOF24]

Synder gives up a lead off double after showing signs of life in the top half of the inning.

[TGov]

here comes JC...

exactly... I couldn't really word it...

[MANNYHOF24]

Romero coming in with a runner at third. Let's see if he can get the job done.

[MANNYHOF24]

That was an atrocious pitch on a 3-1 pitch.

[MANNYHOF24]

Mother f***er, thats the ball game.

[riverside sluggers]

I questioned the change for Romero, Teixeira is a switch so he can hit righties and Sosa is a righty. I'll say it again, Romero has to strictly be a lefty specialist

 

I knew that shot was gone when Sammy was jumping around

[Optimist]

I suddenly like that weird sign thing Sosa does.

[TGov]

maybe someone will pull off a walkoff grand slam like Ass Rod... f*** him... Let's go Sox!!! it's only the 6th inning...

[MANNYHOF24]

Why not Donnely to start this inning, or maybe just leave Synder in.

[riverside sluggers]

hmmm Tito, 4 straight hits, hmmmm, maybe bullpen change

[MANNYHOF24]

This sucks so bad, what a horrible way to spend a saturday night.

[MANNYHOF24]

Romero should not face righties, ever.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wake up Tito, you suck so bad.

[riverside sluggers]

5 straight hits!!!! no outs

 

Nice job Tito, and people say Torre is bad at managing the bullpen

[TGov]

What happened to this JC Romero?

 

2002 Stats

W-L 9-2, ERA 1.89, 76 SO, 36 BB in 81.0 innings... (81 games)

[MANNYHOF24]

Finally Francoma

[a700hitter]

Tito always makes moves after the game is out of hand.

[riverside sluggers]

I think Romero is this year's Seanez & Tavarez, both of whom were Tito's pets. He'll throw them out there even if he knws theyre doing bad

 

EDIT: Donnelly has held righties to a .212 avg over the last 5 seasons but of course he's just coming in now

 

I knew right from the start from Tito in ST

"Romero is a guy who can come in late in the game & get both lefties/righties out"

Regardless righties hit .382 off of him last year

[TGov]

Now I'm gonna have a bad f***ing day tomorrow, unless there's a comeback which I'm hoping for... well I still have to work on Easter so it's still not going to be that great...

[example1]

I'm still willing to give him a break. He's pitched well the past few games.

 

Why not use Pineiro in a long-relief situation though? Curious...

[MANNYHOF24]

this is rediculous, I hate our bullpen tonight. We are going to have to use Papelbon in a blow out at this point.

[TGov]

All I see out of tonight's bullpen is 2006...

Maybe they'll cut him instead of Lopez when Timlin comes back. I think Lopez is pretty good, and with that side-arming delivery, he's definitely tough on lefties.
