5/21 vs. Blue Jays - SWEEP TEH PRETENDAHS!!!!

[Spudboy]

I missed the first inning. I take it that Lester does not look his best (4 h, 4LOB). What do you folks say?

 

Strange. That icon appeared out of nowhere.

[Dipre]

Velocity's fine, but he seems to be all over the place.

[TheKilo]

He's dodging liners all over the place.

 

Too bad Joba can't say the same

[Spudboy]

My third favorite Dominican.

 

Weak.

[Spudboy]

Not that it matters in any way, but does anyone ever wonder how many balls are used in an average MLB game? That foul down the line got me wondering.

[Spudboy]

I'd take Wells on my team. If for no other reason than to keep him from doing damage to the Sox.

See?

What's for dinner Ms_Sox?

What's for dinner Ms_Sox?

Herb chicken/caesar salad. The Man should be home any minute. heh

[TedWilliams101]

Wow, a quadruple post!

 

Yeah, Wells is pretty awesome. I'd take him too.

I put that one on a tee for you

[ms_sox]

Is it just me, or are Lester's inning seeming really long? What's his pitch count again? I missed it when they said something.

[Spudboy]

Herb chicken/caesar salad. The Man should be home any minute. heh

 

Yum! Pour a couple of cold ones.

[Spudboy]

The Yankees are on fire.

[Spudboy]

Wicked nice slide by Pedroia!

5-6 dozen.

Edit - make that 6, not 7. Damn I'[m typo city today.

So now we know why Beckett has sucked this season. He's too busy putting down 2lb burgers. Stop hanging out with David Wells.

Yeah that was pretty easy.

He's going to have a new show on the Travel Chanel.

Becket vs. Food.

Kevin Millar, the king of the foul homerun

[Spudboy]

Kevin Millar' date=' the king of the foul homerun[/quote']

 

Yeah, but you have to acknowledge his entertainment value. Plus he does try hard.

[Spudboy]

DP please?

[TheKilo]

WTF is with this BABIP ********

[Spudboy]

WTF is with this BABIP ********

 

Please excuse my naivety, what is BABIP?

Something per innings pitched?

[jacksonianmarch]

Batting Average on Balls in play. Essentially it is BA after subtracting homers and K's. Theoretically, it should be right at .300.

[TedWilliams101]

Is that a joke or something?

Batting Average on Balls In Play

 

Lester's is sky high, meaning a disproportionate number of the balls put in play against him are hits.

[jacksonianmarch]

2 more baserunners, another slithering escape from an inning from Lester.

Sometimes the luck evens out.
