6/15 - Beckett Invades Cincinnati on Father's Day

[TheKilo]

WHAT THE f*** THE UMP TURNED HIS HEAD WHAT THE f***

[The Dustball]

That was strike 3.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Remdawg now comments on the tight strike zone.

 

Strike three!

[Jayhawk Bill]

You know, thus far Ron Kulpa has been way tougher on Homer Bailey than on Josh Beckett regarding ball-strike calls.

[TheKilo]

Coco?

[The Dustball]

Crushed by Coco!!!! 3-0. That was a good AB by Coco.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Another Crisp home run--3-0, Boston.

 

Remy: "From what I've seen of Homer Bailey thus far, I don't know his best pitch--if he has one."

[a700hitter]

Does that go out of Fenway? I think so.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Haha seriously? Coco?

 

He's got four this season...two in back to back games, twice.

[TheKilo]

Seriously, that ball was crushed by Coco.

[Jayhawk Bill]

I hope that Coco has decided to juice, and that we're seeing the effects.

[TheKilo]

Beckett just hit that ball harder than Lugo has all year.

 

Seriously, I bet when Lugo beat his wife it didn't hurt at all.

[a700hitter]

This kid Ellsbury is a an unbelievable weapon on the bases. In addition to the burner speed he has base running intincts that are second to none. With regard to the instincts, he reminds me of a young Jeter who never seemed to make the wrong decision. Ellsbury has those instincts but he faster and a better base stealer.

[TheKilo]

I hate Beckett's pace on the mound right now.

[TheKilo]

Piss poor pitching by Beckett.

[TheKilo]

At least he struck out Bailey

[Jayhawk Bill]

And he got the very dangerous Bruce to pop up to second.

[TheKilo]

lol Ellsbury

[The Dustball]

Ellsbury's doing it all.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Bailey has figured out how to prevent Ellsbury from stealing bases.

[TheKilo]

I don't even get excited anymore.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Bailey has also figured out how to keep Drew from stealing bases.

[The Dustball]

Haha sweeeeeeeeet. That got outta there extremely fast. 5-0.

[ORS]

This game is drenched in awesomeness.

[TheKilo]

Drew smiling in the dugout?!?!?!?!

 

edit LOL @ his impression of Griffey turning around and watching his HR leave

[a700hitter]

This guy Bailey is not the prospect that I had heard. I saw him at the end of ST in City of Palms Park, and he got lit up there as well. moss hit a shot to dead CF that went about 450

[TheKilo]

I wonder what made Bailey such a highly regard prospect anyway, he's got mediocre stuff.

[TheKilo]

Trot just singled in the 4th off of Kevin Millwood...first hit as a Met.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Look, guys, it's 5-0 in the third inning, Beckett's on the mound, and Kulpa is favoring Boston.

 

I'll be watching the game, but I'm leaving the game thread for a bit--I'll be back if the potential tying run reaches base.
