coco is on fire

[See Red]

Lester through one scoreless and Coco is en fuego.

[schillingouttheks]

It was a pretty lame welcome for Lester out there. Oh well, it's probably good for him to focus. He can get that ovation after a few starts are under his belt.

 

Coco's on fire.

[redsoxrules]

coco is raking

 

AVG up to 281

[Rdsxmbnt]

5-0 sox!

[See Red]

YOOOOOOOOOOUK! Coco scores... 5-0 Sox!

[schillingouttheks]

Youk! 5-0 Sox. Westbrook just can't get anything to work for him. If Drew getting robbed of a home run and Tito getting ejected lit a fire under this team's ass, then Lester's return will do that and then some. It's awesome to watch.

[redsoxrules]

im glad we stuck with coco all along and not put WMP in center when crisp was strugling

It is. This is why you don't say things like "I can't watch this team anymore" or "I just need a break"... because when the team starts raking the next game you look like an idiot and a pink hatter.

Speaking of which, where's Ted? Maybe he really is taking a break from this team. It's a good thing. He leaves, and the Sox do well.

id love to see Tito get some credit from people for not only sticking with Coco, but Pedroia and right now, Lugo as well

I was thinking the sox would win this game. The offense knows how important this game is, so I figured they'd give a good outing. We'll see on Lester. Now that he has a lead, I wouldnt be surprised at all if the adrenaline gets him through a solid outing.

Same here. He's had some hard hit balls go right to the corner infielders so he's gotten a little lucky, but he can only get better. I think it'll be an overall good outing for him. I'm not saying anymore though because the game's not over until TW101 says so ... or at least by his standards. <_>

as opposed to actual talent of one of the best pitching prospects in baseball?

[CrespoBlows]

So am I.

 

I still think Wily Mo is going to be a 30 HR guy, but it won't be with the Red Sox. Even if Wily Mo did hit 30 HR's, Coco is so good in the field, it outweighs that.

 

Props to Coco.

[BoSox21]

jesus christ, its home run derby in Toronto. Johan has given up 3 in 2 innings and Morneau has gone yard as well

[CrespoBlows]

Points for effort.

[Cocos Disciples]

Mike Lowell...stealing?

 

EDIT: It was a hit and run.

[redsoxrules]

WTF

[schillingouttheks]

Blah. That's the risk you take with the hit and run. If it's a pitch that you just can't hit because it's too close to your body, the baserunner is COOKED.

[BoSox21]

personally, im watching Lester's pitch count. he really struggled with that last year but tonight, 27 pitches through 2. not bad

[ThirdBase]

That was nasty! Go Lester!

I've been keeping my eye on that too. What's he at right now into the 3rd?

36 through 2.1

Lester surrenders a bomb, and ESPN zooms in on his dad.

 

Classy.

Steve Phillips looked very uncomfortable when they showed them when Sizemore was rounding the bases.

[schillingouttheks]

Way to bounce back from the bomb Lester! Siddown Hafner.

[Rdsxmbnt]

its ok, cant expect him to shutout an extremely good offensive team in his first game back. But nice job to come back and finish the inning. Nice K on Hafner.
