4/18 vs. Texas Rangers

[ORS]

Like Lowrie so far.

[ORS]

He'll score. Damn, but he can fly anyway.

[ORS]

Love that little dude.

[Youk Of The Nation]

BAM! So much for a lovely night, then, eh?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Four runs in the span of five pitches.

[MANNYHOF24]

I think Lowrie should start playing more then Lugo.

[redsoxrules]

so das11209 what do you think of the teams offense now ?

[Beaneater]

We've hit for the cycle this inning... almost in order (2B, 1B, 3B, HR). That's clever.

 

Edit: And got a BB and a HBP. All we need now is to take first on a dropped third strike.

You forgot reach on an error, inside-the-park home run, catcher's interference, and sac bunt (we got a sac fly too)

Yeah, I meant "all we need" as in "that would be cool", not as an exhaustive list. But thanks - I'd forgotten sac bunt. Does an inside the park HR get scored differently from a regular HR?

I am happy that Papi is back. That is a big boost.

 

I don't care much about Tx pitching - but the runs they scored against the Yankees was impressive.

 

Now - if somehow we can put Lugo on DL - we will be in fantastic shape. I did say that Drew needs to be good for the offense to click - and he has been very good so far.

Anyone ever actually seen catcher's interference in an MLB game?

[Youk Of The Nation]

95 pitches for Dice-K already, geez.

I have, but thats because I watch every game I can. A few seasons ago, Craig Counsell reached on CI more times in the season than the rest of MLB combined, (6 to 5) thanks to his bizarre and endlessly entertaining batting stance.

Even with an 8 run lead, he insists on starting batters 2-0. It's perplexing.

[Youk Of The Nation]

No, it goes down as a home run.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Damn you Castiglione.

Work that OBP any way you can, baby!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Craig Counsell is one of my favorite players, for some reason.

[Beaneater]

Maybe you really like catcher's interference?

[ORS]

Death, taxes, Cattalanotto getting on base against the Sox....

 

Anything else?

[ORS]

Bye Lugo. You are dead to me. This kid should be our starting SS.

[a700hitter]

Lowrie can hit. He has done it at every level, and when I saw him in ST in 2006 he was really skinny and he still raked. He hit a double up the gap the day I saw him. The only question is whether he can handle SS on a daily basis.

[ORS]

He seems smooth enough out there for the routine plays. I'll trade Lugo's better range for the run production.

[ORS]

Hell of an AB by Ells.

[das11209]

Bye Lugo. You are dead to me. This kid should be our starting SS.

 

Believe me - I will be happy if I don't see Lugo's f*** face in sox jersey any more. But what do you think we do with him? He is untradable unless we eat lot of money.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Maybe you really like catcher's interference?

 

I just like him as a scrappy little utility infielder with a goofy batting stance who just so happens to have been a key part of two World Series Game 7 walkoffs.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yankees are losing, Baltimores winning...and Im not sure how I feel about that.

[ORS]

Believe me - I will be happy if I don't see Lugo's f*** face in sox jersey any more. But what do you think we do with him? He is untradable unless we eat lot of money.

Don't care what they do. Right now they are paying what, $8M per for Lugo's suck. Lowrie will make the min for the remainder of that contract. Would you pay $8.375M for a good SS? I would.

[a700hitter]

When the Sox score 9 runs, Dice K has to go deper into the game. Going only 5 1/3 is just not acceptable. For Crissakes, he has to start throwing strikes and pitching to contact.
