May 14th vs. Detroit

[Rdsxmbnt]

and there we go, Ortiz ties it up!

[TedWilliams101]

Tie game. Papi getting it done.

[TedWilliams101]

Manny's about to put us on top 3-1.

 

Come on Manny, make some noise! Put one over the monste.

f*** you.

 

Way to jinx him.

[Cocos Disciples]

Sheffield's swings are always scary. Thought that was one was on Landsdowne. 1 down.

[TedWilliams101]

Haha, ya.

 

DiceK is missing his spots.

[Cocos Disciples]

Holy flippin spit! A scoreless 4th inning!

[TedWilliams101]

Am I the only one surprised how Dice-K has throw 2 strike pitches WAY out of the zone. I mean, a high fastball on a 0-2 count ended up above the guys head, other pitches hit the dirt at the hitters feet, etc. It just seems very unusual for a guy with great command to miss the srike zone soo badly when he has the count in his favor. He's been going to way to many 3-2 counts because of it.

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice double for Tekky.

[Rdsxmbnt]

excellent AB for Varitek

[TedWilliams101]

What a GREAT at-bat for V-Tek. Very nice piece of hitting to get the double.

[riverside sluggers]

Tek raising that average to .286

[a700hitter]

See above: In 29 1/3 innings' date=' robertson has 6.75 ERA against sox[/quote']Those numbers are skewed by a single outing in 2004 where he gave up 8 runs in 3 innings. Since that start, he averages almost 7 innings per start against us. I remember at least one of those times where he held us to 1 run or 0 runs until late in the game before we got to him. I remember him being tough on us, and guess what? He's being tough on us again.

[TedWilliams101]

Man, ANOTHER great at bat. Come on Coco, get on base. You can do it.

[Rdsxmbnt]

two really good ABs by Varitek and Crisp

[Cocos Disciples]

Coco single! 2-1.

We're working Robertson's pitch count up to the mid 80's. If we continue to do so he will not get past 5 innings.

[TedWilliams101]

Coco does it. 2 great at-bats there. Lets go sox! Rookie time.

[riverside sluggers]

Crisp is shaking his hand while standing at 1st base, wonder if hes ok

[a700hitter]

Coco is shaking his hand. He must have hit it off the end of the bat.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Teks OPS up over .800 with that double

[TedWilliams101]

We are REALLY making Robertson work now. Keep it up. Top of the order now.

[TedWilliams101]

Come on Lugo, drive Robertson out of the game. Lets get into their battered bullpen.

he's being tough on us? its the other way around he's up to 88 pitches, has allowed 8 hits in just 4 IP 2 ER allready , we're the ones who's being tough on him

[TedWilliams101]

We have the lead and worked Robertson's pitch count to 94, so I doubt he'll be able to get through the 5th. Great opportunity for the sox to pound their bullpen after they got destroyed by the Twins yesterday.

[Cocos Disciples]

He did write that before Tek and Coco came up.

 

We took the lead but we coulda got more. 2 runs off 8 hits in 4 innings? Should be more.

[a700hitter]

he's being tough on us? its the other way around he's up to 88 pitches' date=' has allowed 8 hits in just 4 IP 2 ER allready , we're the ones who's being tough on him[/quote']Usually he keeps his pitch count down against us allowing him to go deep in games. That inning we worked him pretty good, but we only have 2 runs, because he didn't give in.

[riverside sluggers]

I heart Pedroia, his glove is something else

[TedWilliams101]

Pedroia showing that he is more than competent at 2B. He's been pretty much automatic on D so far. (knocking on wood)

[Cocos Disciples]

Pedroia with the nice diving play, 2 quick outs.

[Cocos Disciples]

Dice has been very good through 5. The Granderson HR has been the only blemish. Now let's get Robertson some more pitches and knock him out. Zumaya is hurt, so the Detroit bullpen is not as good as usual.
