July 4th vs. Tampa Bay

[schillingouttheks]

Am I the only one who remembers April of 2006? It was a nightmare. Plus Wake has said he won't pitch unless Mirabelli catches him.

 

He hasn't hit for s*** and he's excruciating to watch at the plate. But as long as we have Wake, we'll have Dougie.

 

Wake has said that? I don't remember that at all. I don't think he'd be opposed to having Varitek catch him...

 

If he comes out of the bullpen, Varitek can handle it for 3-4 innings at the most. We probably won't have Wake after next year anyway, so it's all good.

i know we've only played 3 innings but how to f*** cant you get anything going when you're facing someone with these numbers ..1.88WHIP, OPPBA 315... 5.20BB/9

Wake is more effective as a SP the a RP. Hopefully we win the WS this yr and he decides to go off into the sunset... Then we can boot dougie tot he curb, problem solved...

The last time he pitched the announcers said that Wake said something like, "When Doug goes, so do I"

 

NO ONE can catch him like Mirabelli, not even for a few innings.

I agree about him being a more effective SP.

Next year move Wake to the pen' date=' dump Mirabelli and start Buchholz. Either call up Kottaras or sign someone cheap.[/quote']

 

Only problem with this is that Wake has said when Mirabelli is done, so is he. I'd also be all for Ellsbury for Salty. Ellsbury isn't a once in a decade talent, the kind of Power Salty has for a catch could make for a very rare type of talent.

Nice hits from Papi & Mikey!

 

Go Eric!

[BSN07]

JD has the same hole in his swing that Pai did when he 1st got to Boston. The low inside stuff. No Papi nails that, hopefully Drew learns it too.

[BSN07]

This ump sucks, catcher was set up outside, pitche completely misses his spot and gets the call. Hes called some very low strikes...

This is starting to annoy me as well. I know we don't have our normal starters in (we have a lot of bench players right now), but holy s***...stop striking out so much and GET SOME DAMN RUNS.

[VA Sox Fan]

Way to go Rookie!

[schillingouttheks]

ELLSBURY!!!! THAT'S HOW YOU GET YOUR FIRST CAREER RBI BABY!

 

2-1 Sox!

[riverside sluggers]

f*** yea Ellsbury!!

 

First career double and RBI, nice showing of his gap power

[BSN07]

Nice shot Jacoby!!!!!!!!!!!

[redsoxrules]

YES FINNALY ! way to go ellsbury

[a700hitter]

The kid is not even a tiny bit intimidated at this level. I could see that in him at ST. Here comes Dougie to end the inning.

[schillingouttheks]

HOLY s*** DOUGIE JUST GOT 2 RBIS.

[riverside sluggers]

Dougie with a big 2 out hit!! woohoo

[VA Sox Fan]

Dougie w/ the 2 run single....atta boy!!!!!!!!!!

[a700hitter]

Mirabelli finally doing something to earn his check.

[redsoxrules]

DOUGIE !! 4-1

[BSN07]

Dougie makes contact!!!!!!!!

[BSN07]

They got Jackson against the ropes....

[riverside sluggers]

The last 2 games, the offense has come from the bottom of the order.

 

Last night against Kazmir, Tek and Lugo each had 2 RBIs

[BSN07]

Jacoby is looking real good. I was one that said hes better off staying in AAA to refine his skills, but he keeps playing like this they should trade either Coco or WMP and keep him on the big league roster. He looks like he could be that exciting catilyst for this team.

[Cocos Disciples]

Wake's been very nice lately. 4-1 half way through.

[BSN07]

He needsto pitch good, he never gets much run support, he needs to take advantage of it.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice golf shot by Cora...lol!

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice Cora.

 

Wow...Wakefield has 16 decisions in 17 starts (not including this one of course).

[VA Sox Fan]

JD! Nice RBI!
