5/20 vs. Blue Jays

[WhiskeyBreath]

haha. Very bold.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Wondering if they will be able to hit the ball tonight.

[Teddyballgame10]

His range is phenomenal

[WhiskeyBreath]

Love his defense.

[Spudboy]

That's a relief. Not 123 but a good inning for Penny. Two balls hit hard.

[MANNYHOF24]

Ortiz is homering in the first inning.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Ortiz is homering in the first inning.

 

Probly going to drop a bunt down the line.

[Spudboy]

Weak AB for Ellsbury.

[TheKilo]

Ortiz is homering in the first inning.

 

Love the optimism, question the rationality.

[Spudboy]

Papi time.

 

Well at least he made contact!

[MANNYHOF24]

Does anyone else think dropping Ortiz to 7th in the order would help him out?

There is no rational thinking when discussing David Ortiz right now.

[TheKilo]

Does anyone else think dropping Ortiz to 7th in the order would help him out?

 

No.

 

If he can't hit in front of Youkilis/Bay how is he going to hit in front of Lugo/Varitek?

[Cocos Disciples]

WOW he grounded out to first. Crazy.

[MANNYHOF24]

No.

 

If he can't hit in front of Youkilis/Bay how is he going to hit in front of Lugo/Varitek?

 

Don't you think it could take some pressure of of him?

 

Edit- It's not like pitchers are remotely pitching around him right now.

No. Either he can hit or he can't, moving him down the lineup makes no difference, IMO.

Went to store, just turned game on. Disappointed we're not ahead by 5 runs. What a bunch of slackers.

 

Jalepeno Cheeto's.

What is to be gained? He'll see less good pitches than he would see with Youk hitting behind him. If he hits in the three hole, he does what is needed. If he hits at 7 he does not give the Sox what he is supposed to. If he continues not to hit, sit him down and take a shot with someone---anyone.

Well said.

[WhiskeyBreath]

The only thing gained is that we would have a #3 hitter that isn't hitting like a pitcher.

That's what I should have said.

Your probably right, but you never know. Im convinced if he can get 1 and the monkey off his back, he will break out of this slump. I think he is putting a ridiculous amount of pressure on himself right now.

That's on him and to a lesser extent Magadan, not where he's hitting in the lineup.

[Spudboy]

Hey Kilo! What/Who is that avatar? Great face!

[Spudboy]

Penny.... 2 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs. This is good.

[WhiskeyBreath]

I'm liking the results. Couple of hard hit balls though.

[BSN07]

Evening gents,

 

Look decent so far, the amount of FB outs for Penny thus far, is uninspiring.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Youk is back!

[Spudboy]

YOUK!

[MANNYHOF24]

Welcome back youk
