come on tek jack a HR or something

[a700hitter]

Papelbon is warming in case we take the lead? Which of the punch and judy specialists is going deep?

[riverside sluggers]

pinch hit mike lowell for cora!!

[a700hitter]

Did the Rangers butcher that play or what.

Tell me about it. Luckily, plays like that can really mess up a team (see: Baltimore Orioles, Mother's Day miracle)

[a700hitter]

pinch hit mike lowell for cora!!

Why... because he can hit the wall or go over it? How ridiculous!

You are right why should Tito bring in their best run producer

Day games are tough on Tito. This is usually the time he takes his pre-game nap for night games.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

This offense is in such a damn funk

[riverside sluggers]

10 men left on base. I guess Lowell is at home. Tito's mindset on Cora is still stuck in thoughts of April when he had 3 or 4 game winning hits

 

Ellsbury, Pedroia, Youkilis in the 9th

[a700hitter]

Well, not PHing really worked out. Will he let Ellsbury lead-off. Maybe he'll PH Lugo in the 9th.

[Rdsxmbnt]

you guys cant seriously be blaming this on tito, its easy to point out why we've scored one run

I can blame Tito for not pinch hitting where he should have.

 

However, of course he's not to blame for the performance today.

[a700hitter]

Nice play by Cora.

[ORS]

Slick D up the middle again from Cora.

When the two guys the team relies on go cold, you have to look for other options. Tito sat on his hands and stayed with pop guns and bush leaguers. It's just plain stupid.

no but it is obvious he lacks intelligence on pinch hitting. Lowell ranks 9th in the AL with 55 RBIs. In a clutch late inning situation, Id say its better to have him in there than Alex Cora/Jacoby Ellsbury/Eric Hinske

[redsoxrules]

another fantastic job by the pen today

Quick, what's Mike Lowell's OPS in close and late situations?

[a700hitter]

Hopefully it doesn't get wasted, because tomorrow is shaping up like a bloodbath with Gabbardge going.

[a700hitter]

A homer by WMP would have tied it...no?

I would have pinch hit Lowell, but saying Lowell is "clutch," when he sports an OPS .100 points lower than his season average, is wrong.

[CrespoBlows]

$50 says he gets picked off.

[riverside sluggers]

oh no, Lugo is pinch running haha jk

[Rdsxmbnt]

come on papi!

[MANNYHOF24]

Ortiz.

[Rdsxmbnt]

ugh

[MANNYHOF24]

This team can't hit.

[CrespoBlows]

At least we have Pineiro.
