4/15 @ Oakland

[MANNYHOF24]

39 pitches through 5.

[yeszir]

Wake is flying through these hitters

[yeszir]

39 pitches through 5 holy s***

[Dojji]

I don't think I've seen a pitching performance like this before.

 

No, not even then.

 

Then either.

[yeszir]

Think wake can go the whole game with only 19 more pitches?

[blinx615]

lol 58?! holy s***. if he does 58, he could pitch again tomorrow (j/k)

[TheKilo]

Pedroia's been awful, the high life is too much for him.

[soxfan17881]

All of this is well and good, but our offense still blows.

[yeszir]

I would love to see some sign of life from Ortiz

[TheKilo]

woooooooooooooo

[VA Sox Fan]

Pedroia's been awful' date=' the high life is too much for him.[/quote']

 

He was also awful in April of 2007 but managed to win Rookie of the Year.

[blinx615]

Mmm, I just realized our 1, 2, 3 batters are all sub-200 averages... Maybe a lineup switch is in order.

[BoSox21]

Thoughts on everyone wearing #42? Honestly' date=' I don't really like it; I'd rather one representative wore it on each team.[/quote']

 

Considering what he went through and represented, its a small inconvenience to see on my screen

[TheKilo]

He was also awful in April of 2007 but managed to win Rookie of the Year.

 

Pitchers have clearly adjusted, it looks like he doesn't even care now that he's loaded.

[MANNYHOF24]

f*** Mike Lowell.

[Dojji]

Ouch. That's very un-Lowell.

[yeszir]

Typical

[Jasonbay44]

Lowell does everything, from grounding into DP's to making errors.

[Dojji]

Oh man.... Is Kot OK?

[blinx615]

oh s***; that's never good

[yeszir]

He'll be fine. That's just gotta hurt like s***.

[Dojji]

Anyone actually see what happened to Kottaras? I'm relying on WRKO

Minus the 2 run HR today.......

[yeszir]

Anyone actually see what happened to Kottaras? I'm relying on WRKO

 

Nailed in the upper right thigh by a pitch that got fouled back

[Dojji]

So wait... that was an error, so all superstitions still apply, correct?

[MANNYHOF24]

Who wants Wake to leave the rotation now? People will never learn.

[yeszir]

The A's are swinging at EVERY pitch they see

[Dojji]

I have never seen Tim Wakefield this good. Awesome.

[TheKilo]

Strike 3 looked like a gift.

[Dojji]

Yeah, but it's a case of making your own luck. He's been throwing so many strikes that he's getting the benefit of the doubt. He's thrown 78% strikes. That's absurdly good.
