May 19th vs. Atlanta - Game 1

[BoSox21]

Does anyone know Matsuzaka's pitch count?

 

84. CG is within reach

[BoSox21]

judging by Tito's subs, I think Hinske is gonna play RF tonight, Manny will be in LF and Cora will play 2nd

[castigs850]

Christ almighty. Just let Matsuzaka go all 9' date=' we don't need our 'pen...thank God.[/quote']

 

two CG's in one week would be huge for my fantasy team :thumbsup:

[schillingouttheks]

He's at 95 pitches. Let him go for the 9th.

[schillingouttheks]

Nevermind, let him finish up this inning and bring in someone like Pineiro.

[BoSox21]

Dice at 101 now

[Rdsxmbnt]

I think thats it for Dice-K, but we'll see, he could go 1 more if they allow him.

[BoSox21]

Dice K at 103 pitches through 8, send him out for the 9th

 

Snyder was warming, that would be a piss poor decision, he might be needed tonight if Hansack has a rough go of it

[BoSox21]

nope, thats it for Dice-K

 

8 IP, 9 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K

[BoSox21]

can someone honestly explain to me why Snyder is pitching the 9th instead of Pineiro? There's a very real possibility we're gonna need Snyder tonight

[schillingouttheks]

No idea. Snyder can give you 1 or 2, maybe 3, good innings of relief before he implodes. We may need that tonight. I would rather see Pineiro out there.

[schillingouttheks]

Sox win! 29-12, 10.5 up. Let's get 30 tonight and get some help from the Mets to go 11.5 up when we go to sleep tonight. I'll go make that gamethread now.

 

Onto the Yanks-Mets game. 1-0 Yanks going into the bottom of the first.

[riverside sluggers]

Yesss Sox win! 29-12, season high 17 games above .500

 

Dice K has looked untouchable his last 3 starts, his last 2 starts he has not walked any

 

Lets hope this hot offense continues

[yeszir]

NESN looks incredible on HD. I just thought I'd put that out there.

[Rdsxmbnt]

NESN looks incredible on HD. I just thought I'd put that out there.

 

it really does. I remember earlier watching hte game on the normal ESPN channel and it just looked awful compared to NESN HD

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice blowout win today. Dice was great except the 7th. Seems he has really settled down with 3 straight superb performances, and he hasn't walked anyone in any of those games I think.

 

29-12 is the record, 10.5 up in the East. The pitching matchups are hugely against us in the next 2 games, but it'd be nice to take 2 of 3 in the series. It's baseball, anything can happen.

[BoSox21]

Dice was great except the 7th.

 

yea but I think that had a lot to do with the amount of time he had to sit in the dugout between innings while we were lighting up the Braves bullpen
