5/9 vs. Rays

[ORS]

Hold the f***ing line. Oh, that's right, Hunter Jones, our bullpen savior, is pitching. I'm so glad we got to call up this "depth" while Bard has struck out a small army in 15 innings down in Pawtuckett.

[ORS]

Is there any way Pena doesn't run into one here?

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeahhhhhhh 10-3.

[ORS]

People always talk about Cust as the ultimate active TTO hitter, but I think Pena could challenge him for that title. His swing is such a massive uppercut that most of his good contact leaves the park, and he does K and BB a ton.

 

Of course, as I'm typing this, he levels it out and ropes a double after fouling off a couple he tried to jack.

Well let's check it out, using K%, BB% and HR% since 2007.

 

Pena: 1351 PA, 90 HR, 217 BB, 346 K (6.66% HR, 16.06% BB, 25.61% K=48.33% TTO)

Cust: 1219 PA, 63 HR, 235 BB, 388 K (5.16% HR, 19.27% BB, 31.82% K=56.25% TTO)

[Cocos Disciples]

Well nevermind on the comeback, then. 12-3.

Is 13-4 better? They only need 9 more of what Lugo did, and it's silly 6th for the Sox.

[Spudboy]

This game is a double whammy. The Sox are getting clobbered, and I have to listen to the wit of Stockboy and McCarver. Well, at least Papi didn't K in the 6th.

[Jasonbay44]

Javier Lopez sucks.

[Dipre]

Seriously, can Javier Lopez SUCK anymore?

[CrespoBlows]

His ERA did go down....

[ORS]

Manny Delcarmen's change up has become quite a nice pitch.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Woo. Happy f***ing birthday to me.

[ms_sox]

Zoomed through the archive ... some funny plays early on, a couple almost-rallies and then ... I stopped watching. heh

 

Can't win 'em all.

[TheKilo]

So, when do we get pissed at Jon Lester and Josh Beckett the way we do Brad Penny?

Lester is sucking ASS, i just don't get why in the Lord's name can't he keep his cutter and fastball down in the zone, JFC.
