May 15th vs. Detroit

[Rdsxmbnt]

Wake wasnt at his best today but he pitched 7 innings with no walks and kept it within reach. Now lets score some runs

[CrespoBlows]

$50 he gets out.

[CrespoBlows]

$50 he gets out.

 

Too bad the odds were like -50,000.

 

I win $0.10

[riverside sluggers]

I would've liked seeing Wily Mo against Verlander's heater, but Coco Crisp 0 for 3

[CrespoBlows]

Do you guys hate Wily Mo, just because he was traded for Bronson Arroyo?

[BoSox21]

no, we hate Wily Mo because he isn't a very good baseball player

[riverside sluggers]

Whoah who said I hate Wily Mo?? Ive said before I dont like Crisp in center field and would rather see those ABs go to Wily Mo

 

EDIT: I dont like this matchup of Wake against Mags in the 8th with 1 man on, Sox already down 4-1

[BoSox21]

Hinske in for Drew after Drew hurt his back on the Inge homer. hopefully its not too serious but he did last 4 more innings so it cant be that bad

[CrespoBlows]

no' date=' we hate Wily Mo because he isn't a very good baseball player[/quote']

 

Why is that?

 

His lack of power?

Never hit .300?

Atrocious defense in RF? (Nevermind the fact that he won't play there)

Decent glove in CF?

 

 

Oh, wait....

 

His strikeouts.

Wily Mo isn't good enough offensively to offset his crap defense

[CrespoBlows]

No. not you. The other 95% of the board who would rather drive a needle into their uretha then see a strikeout.

[riverside sluggers]

Didnt Wily Mo last year hit .301 with 11 HRs, 42 RBIs... while trying to work through a wrist injury

[CrespoBlows]

Wily Mo isn't good enough offensively to offset his crap defense

 

Given regular playing time in CF last year, he had a .875 to .900 OPS. (Then came the wrist injury)

 

I believe that would be well above league average.

 

Besides, he is average with the glove in CF. Terrible in RF Average in CF.

 

Say it with me.

 

TERRIBLE IN RF, TOLERABLE IN CF!

 

Great, that is all.

Wily Mo, Coco Crisp...the way I see it...the best CF for the Red Sox is playing in AAA Pawtucket at the moment

[Rdsxmbnt]

Given regular playing time in CF last year, he had a .875 to .900 OPS. (Then came the wrist injury)

 

And hes doing the same this year as a Starter (check the coco thread). Im more than willing to give him a shot right now

[CrespoBlows]

Wily Mo' date=' Coco Crisp...the way I see it...the best CF for the Red Sox is playing in AAA Pawtucket at the moment[/quote']

 

We are in agreement.

[Cocos Disciples]

You can count me among the people who like WMP.

[Cocos Disciples]

Never good when you have to chase the ball down that far.

 

5-1.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I'll say this about Wily Mo Pena....if he was given the same amount of playing time as Manny Ramirez and JD Drew...I bet he would be hitting for a better average right now...possibly more production

[TedWilliams101]

And the injuries begin with Drew. Not too bad from the sounds though.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

alright enough....f*** YOU MANNY

[Rdsxmbnt]

bad throw

[Cocos Disciples]

Looks kinda like Rodriguez showed up Tek there with the celebration.

[riverside sluggers]

Well Donnely is not doing such a hot job at keeping this game within reach

[Cocos Disciples]

7-1. Youchies.

[a700hitter]

And the injuries begin with Drew. Not too bad from the sounds though.

He'll probably miss only a month.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

FYI on the best CF in the Red Sox organization....

 

Jacoby Ellsbury is 3-4 with 2 runs 1 RBI and 2 SB in the AAA game thus far

[riverside sluggers]

3 straight hits after 2 quick out, Tito looks pissed as he walks to the mound. Ifd anything as the trade deadline nears the Sox should try to swing a trade for a righty reliever capable of handling the 7th inning duties

 

About Drew, um I can see anyone getting hurt from that kind of impact he had with that wall. So we can dash away those accusations at Drew for not being a team player, and DL risk (it was a fluke). The sound of it makes me jump. Murphy or Moss could get the call up if a DL trip is needed, of course the favorite tho will be Ellsbury

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice shot by Youk. 7-2.

[CrespoBlows]

He has a bruised back.
