That is one nasty two seemer by Maddux. He probably should have gotten the one to Youk as well.

 

In other news Lugo still sucks and is hitting under .200, at what point do we try to move in a different direction? I think Lugo can be a good player but man its almost the frigging All-Star Break.

I have to say, Dice-K has the uncanny ability to throw a fastball at anywhere from 95 to 87, and they all look the same.

 

Like there, he threw one at 88 and Branyon couldn' ttell what to do with it. 6 mph slower than the 94 he was hitting earlier in the evening. Very interesting.

Remy's got a good point, I'm surprised the ump didn't say more to Maddux.

 

Oh wait.

If Lugo wouldn't have sat there complaining then maybe the ump would have

If Dice-K always takes 70 pitches to start pitching like this then I can see why he has trained himself to throw 300 pitches at a time. I wish he could just stay in for 150 pitches...

Hahahaa, I think those San Diego fans that NESN showed thought everyone was booing. They were Youking, idiots.

Where is he now 85?

Let's see if Maddox starts getting some of those outside calls now, as he took the time to schmooze with the ump after the strikeout

Dice is a Pimp.

 

Maddux is whiny. The pitch was a ball, by about 3 inches. It was a BEAUTIFUL pitch, but it was a ball. Just accept it. Youkilis is a good hitter and he has probably gotten a close call like that against every good pitcher he's ever faced because he has a tremendous eye. Just shut up.

Can we just stick with one SS for more than one year? For chrissakes, OCab and Rent were let go and shipped off because they weren't performing, but now they are. The point being, if a player has demonstrated an ability to play, like Lugo has, they don't just lose it overnight for good. One, they can't cut him because they have to pay him anyway, and no team will pick up that salary right now. Two, they won't get s*** for him in trade, and if he starts playing well again, it will just be another link in the "We have no patience with our SS" chain. If he sucks for 2 full years, then yeah, cut bait. Moving sooner is asking for trouble.
