April 22 vs. New York - Back to Back to Back to Back

[example1]

I'm so glad we have J.D. Drew......

 

Yeah, that's sarcasm.

 

What has J.D Drew done to you? Other than hit well over .300 and come through with big hits and play solid D in RF? Seriously, get off the national bandwagon bashing of JD. He's a hell of a player.

 

That wasn't sarcastic.

Wright at 29 pitches through 1. This kid wont last long' date=' he was lucky with Ortiz & Manny both making outs on hanging pitches[/quote']

 

this is how he started in Cleveland too. He isnt an innings eater type to this point, but he misses good contact, somehow.

[example1]

I dont. A guy like Chase is not what WMP should be able to hit. Farnsworth is a guy I'd expect WMP to eat up. But a 87-90mph fastball and a kid who lives off a change? He should have WMP tied in knots.

 

Not if he cant get ahead in counts and WMP waits for a pitch over the plate. If he gets ahead its a different beast altogether.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ugh.

[riverside sluggers]

Nevermind, good call.

 

Chase gets the job done.

 

And the bullpen will try to finish the job starting in the 4th inning

[jacksonianmarch]

and I love how Miller and Morgan are all about how this kid lives dangerously. Seriously, you throw high 80s with your fastball and you live dangerously approaching the zone.

[example1]

I really don't think DiceK's "delay" would be that offputting. It seems pretty predictable.

[jacksonianmarch]

if he is replaced in the 4th, then you guys are ripping him. Otherwise, he will go 5.

 

BTW, is anyone more useless than Minky?

[jacksonianmarch]

I really don't think DiceK's "delay" would be that offputting. It seems pretty predictable.

 

it would be annoying the first time, but you can get used to it.

[example1]

They're swinging early on him.

[Rdsxmbnt]

that is not pretty to watch

[example1]

Jesus, David Ortiz in CF, make it look graceful one time!

[jacksonianmarch]

Wily Mo circus in center almost played a routine ball into a double.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yikes, the ball's carrying.

[jacksonianmarch]

Nieves vs Matsuzaka. If there iwas ever a bigger mismatch, I havent seen it.

[Rdsxmbnt]

lol!

[Cocos Disciples]

Couple of hard hit balls there. Good inning though, 7 pitches. Let's get runs.

[example1]

Nice play Lowell.

 

Additionally Morgan, he looks like a pimp who just smoked a blunt when he's pitching. No nerves or worry on his face.

 

I hope Joe says that next inning, especially the blunt part.

[riverside sluggers]

Wright didnt have enough time to take a piss, oh well hopefully the Sox can make him do the same while taking a lot of pitches... granted it will be Lowell, Tek, Wily Mo

[example1]

Jesus, 10 pages of posts in the 2nd inning. Is there any sort of regular season record?

[jacksonianmarch]

I like his demeanor more than anything. He has come over here with the idea that he will dominate. Igawa had a bit of a different vibe to him, more humble. I'd take a cocky Japanese prick who gets it done over a humble kid who doesnt. Granted, Igawa has been alright to this point.

Let's hope he pisses on himself.

 

Don't start talking football guys; there is enough football on ESPN already.

You realize he's only a "prick" because he's a Red Sox, right? From all accounts he is a pretty likeable guy and I'm sure if the Yanks had had the foresight (skin?) to bid 51.2 m he wouldn't be a prick.

it is kinda funny though that Morgan seems like he knows more about football than baseball. A changeup? That is a curve dingbat!

of course. He is cocky though, and you need that in Boston. Not a bad thing.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I hope these guys dont let this kid off the hook cause he doesnt have very good stuff....score some damn runs for Dice-K!!!

[jacksonianmarch]

I couldnt disagree with you more. I like his stuff a lot. His command is off and on. He has shaky command, if you want to beat him you wait him out, sit on the heat and smack it when he has to throw it.

[example1]

Trigger. Pull it WMP.

[jacksonianmarch]

3-2 slider to Lugo? HE DOESNT THROW A SLIDER!!!

[example1]

Alright, Pedroia, hit it haaad someplace kid!
