5/3 @ Tampa Bay

[J-Beck]

I wish this commentator would quit talking about how amazing he was at pitching when he played.

[Cocos Disciples]

Is it David Wells? How has he done?

[riverside sluggers]

5 stolen bases by Tampa Bay. Carfword has 4 of those to move past Ellsbury for the lead with 14 SBs

 

Damn Penny with another K to end an inning. Easily this has been his best start of the season

[Cocos Disciples]

Shockingly enough, Penny hasn't been awful. 5 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 8 K. Not good, but okay for Penny. At 94 pitches, I'd put him back out there for the 6th.

[rhet]

He's pitching for his job today.

[riverside sluggers]

What's his PC?

 

80 pitches through 5

Anything to give the bullpen more rest. These guys are going through a rough stretch of 17 consecutive games

 

EDIT: Damn another weak pop up by Ortiz

[Cocos Disciples]

. Easily this has been his best start of the season

 

Err no. Against the Angels he went 6, allowed 7 hits/walks and gave up 3. Against the Twins he went 6, allowed 7 hits/walks and gave up 2 earned. Today he's gone 5, allowed 7 hits/walks and gave up 3.

He could still go 6 and todays game he's been able to make more batters swing and miss. Entering this game, his season high in K's was just 2

[a700hitter]

It's going to be tough to get Shields today.

If he can get the 6th in order, I'll call it arguably his best start. I'm a tough grader.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good s*** from Penny. 9 outs to score 2 runs...hey, it's possible.

[Cocos Disciples]

Weaaaaaak

[Cocos Disciples]

MDC in for the 7th.

[Cocos Disciples]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT WALK CRAWFORD.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ughhhh. Now he's gonna get to 3rd.

[Cocos Disciples]

lol 5 SBs for Crawford.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Holy f***ing s***, how many s***** at bats and awful games does Ortiz have to have for Francona to pull his head out of his ass and move him out of three spot? This is ridiculous, the guy is plugging up the whole offense.

[a700hitter]

He's running wild on the Sox.

[Cocos Disciples]

Another run=Ballgame over.

[J-Beck]

That looked like a knuckleball when he threw it.

[Cocos Disciples]

lol nice. 2 straight HBPs, 4-1.

[J-Beck]

Wow... 2 in a row.

[riverside sluggers]

To say MDC s*** the bed in this one, would be an understatement. How about that control

[Cocos Disciples]

Hunter Jones is impressive.

[BoSox21]

wtv, MDC was due to have a bad outing at some point

[Cocos Disciples]

Tying run on deck. With the 2-3-4 up now, this is it.

[Cocos Disciples]

What an oddly struck ball...

[Cocos Disciples]

So, Ortiz DP now?

[TedWilliams101]

So' date=' Ortiz DP now?[/quote']

 

Nah, Strike out. He needs to make enough contact to put it on the ground and in play. That's giving him too much credit.
