[Jayhawk Bill]

Tonight's umpire is Bob Davidson. Boston is 4-0 in the last four games they've played with Davidson calling balls and strikes.

[ORS]

Cora? If it's possible, fall to the 3B side Clay. That way you might be able to field some of the balls not hit right at the statue.

[zackredsox]

Casey Kotchman has homered in three of his last four games at Fenway is a career .340 (17-for-50) hitter in Boston and has got on base both times hes faced Lester so I guess a little good came out of the Teixiera trade.

[Bostonownsyou]

Need a win tonight.

[Bostonownsyou]

Man these are some awful at bats early on.

[Bostonownsyou]

Cora sucks relese him please.

[schillingouttheks]

THROW STRIKES

[Bostonownsyou]

Bartolo Colon still hurt?

[zackredsox]

Bartolo Colon still hurt?

 

Yea, but sopposed to pitch a game in the Minors in about a week.

[schillingouttheks]

That was a huge DP. I thought Vlad was going to beat that out for sure, especially with Cora starting it.

[zackredsox]

Cora sucks relese him please.

 

There not gonna get rid of him, he supposed to become a Minor League coach one day.

[ORS]

There's a rule that he has to be on the team to become a coach in a following year?

[ORS]

s***** pitch there, ClAAAy.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I can't wait for the day when everything clicks for Clay Buchholz

[Bostonownsyou]

Bucholtz was a fluke it's safe to say. I'd trade him Thursday if the oppertunity presents itself guy has the worst machanics I seen sense Rick Ankiel.

Product of the American education system.

Ok, fess up, you read an article where mechanics were mentioned, right?

[Bostonownsyou]

Ok' date=' fess up, you read an article where mechanics were mentioned, right?[/quote']

 

No actually I just can see he has the stuff but the hitters are right on everything he fires up there. Besides his curveball everyother pitch he tips off.

 

We don't see these brutes after tomorrow the rest of the season right?

[CrespoBlows]

No, he has been in the industry for some time.

Thats stupider than that Alex Cora coaching thing I just said.

Couldn't disagree more. Young pitchers struggle....they do go figure. His mechanics are actually pretty good but he could use some more muscle mass and fill out. His stuff is too good to dismiss as a "fluke"

 

Unless you are trading him for a top MLB bat I don't agree.

Since you can see it, how is he tipping it off?

 

The hitters aren't right on everything. They are on his FB when he misses location. This is why I called him ClAAAy. He needs to refine his FB command in Pawtuckett, where wins/losses don't really matter.
