8/4 @ KC

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

lol are you serious?

 

Been in a steady decline since mid-June.

[Bostonownsyou]

I've noticed that you like to leave anywhere from 3-8 words out per post. Is done intentional?

 

What more is there to say? Offense been consistantly cold with a few scattered outbursts here and there. It just looks like a team thats lathargic but in all honesty they are and that means that they aren't that good.

 

Yeszir, I have expressed my dislike for the hitting coach I think he gets the least out of guys. I have pointed out the obvious it's not worth typing for then a sentence or 2 while relieving some fustration anymore.

Last 30 days for JD Drew:

 

.230/.392/.459/.851

 

The BA isn't great, but when he's getting hits he's making them count and he's still getting on base at near a .400 clip.

 

Lowell, Varitek, Ellsbury, Crisp, et al deserve more blame than Drew.

[Dojji]

Tell ya what -- next time why don't we have MASTERSON start the game and BUCHHOLZ come in in relief?

[yeszir]

Masterson, with a little help from the ump, looks extremely sharp

[TheKilo]

Not a bad idea. Masterson may not have the secondary pitches Buchholz has but he has better poise on the mound.

[Dojji]

More to the point, he has a plus main offering that can carry him for whole innings. That doesn't describe any one pitch of Buchholz'

I don't look to Varitek, Ellsbury, and Crisp to provide the big offense. Mike Lowell is an issue but I was looking for JD Drew to have a monster come-back year and he was well on his way but has cooled off. Baseball is all about upward and downward trends....lets hope before the year is out he gets hot again.

So being the team leader in SLG and OPS doesn't count for anything?

 

OK.

[msubulldogs21]

Been in a steady decline since mid-June.

 

Maybe so, but nobody is going to hit the ball that well consistenly.

[TheKilo]

I really like how Lowrie can, you know, throw the ball to 1st in the air.

[Rdsxmbnt]

ooh please, perhaps you didn't notice the curveball or changeup

[Cocos Disciples]

It does seem like a novelty after Lugo.

[Bostonownsyou]

Ugh Bay up thats as good as 2 outs.

[TheKilo]

Lowrie is gonna do something awesome here.

[Bostonownsyou]

There you go Casey. Too bad 7 8 9 are up.

[Jasonbay44]

Hopefully can at least get on to Get Tek outta the way.

[TheKilo]

Lowrie is gonna do something awesome here.

 

Jason Varitek is gonna do something awesome here.

[Dojji]

1 baserunner an inning, nearly always with 2 outs.

 

Oh, Lowrie doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the likes of Tek and Crisp.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I'm pretty excited about our young mid-field of Lowrie, Pedroia, and Ellsbury. All 3 can play defense and hit (Ellsbury will hit again).

[Dojji]

PINCH HIT!

 

PLEASE PLEASE PINCH HIT!

[TheKilo]

Is Mahay coming in? They're letting Tek bat righty?

[Jasonbay44]

PLEASE GET A HIT TEK

[TheKilo]

PINCH HIT!

 

PLEASE PLEASE PINCH HIT!

 

With who?

 

Cash? Cora?

[Dojji]

Is Mahay coming in? They're letting Tek bat righty?

 

They haven't had much luck retiring Tek from the left side. Maybe Hillman just wants to bust up his rhythm

[Bostonownsyou]

Terrible move by Hillman. Tek is a decent right handed hitter AWFUL left handed hitter atleast this is a fair fight now with Mahay.

[Dojji]

With who?

 

Cash? Cora?

 

Lowell?

Don't laugh at it until after it works.

[TheKilo]

Lowell?

 

You know Tito...once a guy gets a day off it's typically a full day off.

 

I'd walk Tek to get to Coco, too.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

This could be the game....
