Jeremy Bonderman (9-1, 3.58)

 

It'll be a tough one, but ya never know.

[schillingouttheks]

Winning tonight would be huge....I have confidence in tomorrow's start. Isn't Bonderman's only loss against us this year? Or am I mistaken?

[Cocos Disciples]

Nah, he didn't face us at Fenway. His loss was against Texas, June 25th.

[schillingouttheks]

Oh. Okay, lol.

[mtbykr]

Just win!

Nice to see Papi go yard.

Wasted opportunity. After the first inning Bonderman shuts everyone down.

[zackredsox]

[zackredsox]

K

[schillingouttheks]

Hahah that was a filthy knee-buckling curve ball. Nice pitch, Kason.

[Cocos Disciples]

Very nice start to this one. Papi breaks out of the homer drought, getting the monkey off his back. Gabbard is looking solid to start. So long as he doesn't get a bad case of the walks, he can be okay.

[schillingouttheks]

All four outs have been strikeouts.

[zackredsox]

now 5 K's for bonderman

[zackredsox]

that looked like a nice pitch, but i guess thats why maglios first in the majors in AVG

[riverside sluggers]

Woo hoo Ortiz! Its about time you take one deep, maybe getting yesterday off did you some good. Ive got a feeling he has a monster 2nd half. Sorry just getting the matchups, got home from a looong day outside. Exhausted.

2 K's

[Cocos Disciples]

Gabbard has been doing very well for himself. 1 hit in 3 innings.

[schillingouttheks]

Nice play Guillen.

[schillingouttheks]

It it just me or did it look like Lowell actually beat that throw...?

[riverside sluggers]

Human rain delay Bonderman gets his wish as Lowell is out at 2nd. I agree "Schil", it looked like his foot touched the bag before the tag was applied

 

EDIT: Still Im not sure why Lowell was even sent out to steal. He's not that of a speedy guy and he had a small ass lead when he took off

[zackredsox]

you gotta be shittin me
