May 20th vs. Atlanta

Was it you who said something about the increased K rates of Jones' date=' and why it would be a bad idea to lock him up long-term?[/quote']

 

In the Crisp thread.

 

Jones is still a good ballplayer, but he's going to get an awful contract next year.

[TheKilo]

He gets to two strikes on pretty much everyone.

Gotcha, and I agree. The Sox need a right-handed power bat to fill the void when Manny leaves, although I think WMP can do that just fine.

 

I hope they steer clear of Jones.

[CrespoBlows]

My bad, but he made a hell of an effort, whoever the batter was and it didn't require him going on the DL!

 

7 K's for Gabbard, nice!

 

I think it was Inge.

[TedWilliams101]

Come on Gabbard, lets get this 3rd out.

[riverside sluggers]

I love Gabbard, always stood by that he can make a positive impact with the Sox

[Cocos Disciples]

He's gotten into a bit of trouble the last 2 innings. Corners with 2 outs for Rent.

[lorddraco98]

nice, got out of that one!

[Rdsxmbnt]

very nice, 5 IP, 4 hits, 7 Ks so far

[ORS]

I don't get the reaction to Drew's non-dive. That was just smart baseball. There were two-outs with nobody on. It would have been a risky play that would have resulted in extra-bases if he misses it. You let the two-out, nobody on single drop in when the pitcher is cruising instead of playing it into possible extra-bases.

[riverside sluggers]

5 shutout innings, 4 Hits, 1 Walk, 7 Ks

[VA Sox Fan]

I think it was Inge.

 

You're right, it was Inge, just looked it up in the Globe.

 

Another nice inning for Gabbard!

[TedWilliams101]

91 pitches. Another inning for Gabbard, or is that it for him?

[ksushi]

Does anybody know where 700 is? I feel like maybe we should check on him, he might have had a heart attack when he saw two "minor league bags of s***" were getting consecutive starts...

[TheKilo]

Let him start the 6th, if he runs into trouble get someone else in there.

[VA Sox Fan]

You let the two-out' date=' nobody on single drop in when the pitcher is cruising instead of playing it into possible extra-bases.[/quote']

 

THANK YOU!

Let alone that Gabbard is dealing nicely

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yeah. Coco went over the wall trying to catch A-Rod's, and Drew slammed into it trying to catch Inge's. They both sat out a couple games.

[Cocos Disciples]

Hmm...91 pitches. It's questionable whether he'll come back out or not. I say throw him out there for the 6th.

BUT JD DREW RUINED THE NO HITTER.

 

edit - didn't a700 post yesterday?

[ORS]

Youk plays the pole.

 

Yeah, I know it sounds funny.

[VA Sox Fan]

Youk is on FIRE! Atta boy!!!!!!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Youk is absolutely destroying the baseball.

[TedWilliams101]

YOUK!!!! All-star game. Here you come.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Youk's pole?

[TheKilo]

All Star

Damn he is rolling with some good power, the 20 range isnt out of question for him this year

[BoSox21]

in the theme of double entendres, Youk is stroking a hot stick right now

[lorddraco98]

Youk goes deep!

 

good run support today too, nice to see it.

[Cocos Disciples]

Youk with a 310 foot HR. 6-0.

Please. The way people vote, Lugo could be batting .700 with 30 homers, 200 RBI, no fielding errors and 65 triples at the ASB and the people would still be creaming over Jeter and his VORP.

 

Youk unfortunately doesnt have a chance.
