4/7 vs Rays

[Cocos Disciples]

93 pitches through 7 for Beckett. Since we have a reasonably comfortable lead and it's Opening Day, I probably go to the bullpen. Maybe let him start the 8th until he allows a hit? Thoughts?

CC is definitely a better pitcher than Josh Beckett.

I agree with the last part. Let him start the eighth.

Yeah, let's see the new guys.

 

Speaking of which, I think the general feel is that bullpen is likely to be a strength for the 2009 Sox. So who gets mop-up duty in this 'pen? (Not that a four-run lead is mop-up, I'm just asking the question.)

[yeszir]

I doubt they'd let him get to 100. I think we'll see Ramirez/Masterson.

[TheKilo]

Ramirez -> Masterson

 

Paps if needed (he won't be)

 

edit - yeszir - that was spooky

[Beaneater]

Beckett is on pace for like 350 K's this year!!!1!

 

EDIT: So is Carlos Pena.

[yeszir]

I mean, it was the obvious conclusion

 

Beaneater, I think we'll see a lot of Masterson/Ramirez in middle relief and mop up situations. Just because you're a good pitcher doesnt mean you have to be used as setup/relief.

[yeszir]

Youk has legs

[Cocos Disciples]

Beckett = Pedro

 

Does he have his personal midget? I think not.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Youk has legs

 

Well, obviously. How would he play baseball without them?

Hey man, don't discriminate!

[Cocos Disciples]

Okajima in to start the 8th.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Another season, another 1-2 hundred near-heart attacks given to me by Castiglione and O'Brien

[yeszir]

Ramirez -> Masterson

 

Paps if needed (he won't be)

Haha looks like we were wrong

Thanks. It just seems weird to see a Masterson-type guy getting the same innings that Albaladejo (sp?) got yesterday.

Luckily we don't have CC on our team then

[Cocos Disciples]

7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 10 K

 

Nice.

[Cocos Disciples]

Soooo, let's not blow it Oki.

[ORS]

Holy f***, cut the s***.

[yeszir]

Put Beckett back in! Put Beckett back in!

[ORS]

Hero in the dark?

 

BS, turn the damn light on so you can find the plate.

[Cocos Disciples]

Put Beckett back in! Put Beckett back in!

 

Mulligan please!

 

1 down, Masterson in to clean up that mess.

[yeszir]

They're going to be running on Varitek all season

[Cocos Disciples]

Uhh okay...5-3. Seriously, not cool.

[MANNYHOF24]

Damn it.

[yeszir]

Well s***.

[MANNYHOF24]

Am I the only one who thinks MDC is better than Masterson?
