Kotsay at 1B?

 

I caught WEEI asking Tito something about that so I guess it's legit

[Jasonbay44]

Kinda weird, I guess Youk's back is still hurting. Has Kotsay ever played first before?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Kinda weird' date=' I guess Youk's back is still hurting. Has Kotsay ever played first before?[/quote']

 

From the Globe:

 

Kevin Youkilis is out of the lineup for the second straight game with an aching back, and Mark Kotsay will start at first base today against Baltimore.

 

Dustin Pedroia will again hit in Youkilis's customary cleanup spot.

 

"Not as good as we'd hoped," Terry Francona said when asked about Youkilis's back. "He's here but he's not going to play."

 

Kotsay, primarily a center fielder throughout his career, has played 28 games at first base in his 12-year big-league seasons. His most recent experience at the position came in 2006, when he played four games there while a member of the Oakland A's. He made two errors in 30 chances for a .933 fielding percentage

[VA Sox Fan]

f***. 1-0.

 

 

Rare error by Coco

[riverside sluggers]

The immortal Cormier with a 1-2-3 1st inning. His longest outing this season has been 3 scoreless innings back on May 4 against the Angels

[Cocos Disciples]

Today the Sox tie the Guardians for the record of consecutive sellouts.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good bounceback inning from Matsuzaka. Let's beat this Cormier fella.

[riverside sluggers]

Cmon Sox batters, this is Lance friggin Cormier. At least next inning will be Lowrie, Ortiz, Pedroia

[TheKilo]

Jacoby Ellsbury still sucks. So does Coco.

[Cocos Disciples]

This reverse lock thing is starting to scare me.

[Cocos Disciples]

Matsuzaka's got nothing. Limit the damage please.

[Cocos Disciples]

Wowza, there's a robbed HR for ya.

[ORS]

It appears the mentioning of the reverse lock only served to piss it off. Quick, somebody sacrafice a live animal in homage to the reverse lock.

[a700hitter]

The offense has been lulled to sleep by these Oriole bums. Freakin ridiculous.

[ORS]

Again with the 24" wide plate. Every baseball ump should get shitcanned. They are incompetent.

[TheKilo]

Ellsbury is beyond awful

[ORS]

Ellsbury is beyond awful

5.2 WARP. Defense and baserunning count.

 

He had a rough 2.5 month stretch, but he started pulling out of it in August. Given his track record in the minors, I'd say he's due further opportunity before we pass judgement, a la Pedroia.

 

Oh, and here's the part where the bully puts the game out of reach. Seen this far too often. LOL, Huff with a SB. See.

[ORS]

Cora is having the game of his life.

[Cocos Disciples]

Trembley said something along the lines of "I never ____ you" to the ump. Anyone read lips?
