5/22 vs. Mets - DiceK's Return

[Kara09]

Well we definitely have that here....Brisket is king in Texas

[Spudboy]

Hey CoCo, how was the game last night? Where did you sit?

[Cocos Disciples]

Varitek's on a f***ing roll right now. In terms of power.

[Spudboy]

Well we definitely have that here....Brisket is king in Texas

 

I just LOVE beef brisket, pulled pork, too.

[Spudboy]

Looks like he got all of that one. Captain!

[a700hitter]

Varitek should definitely always bat Right Handed. That's his 5th HR in 24 RH ABs.

[ms_sox]

beef brisket - is awesome

Tek - is awesome.

[Spudboy]

If I had the time and money (read: rich) I'd travel the south to sample all of the regional variations of Barbecue. I guess I could make it a Baseball/ Barbecue trip.

[Dipre]

For the love of Jesus have Tek always bat right-handed.

 

Goddamit, Bay is God's messenger!

 

 

Viva le Canada!

[Spudboy]

Now that's an interesting stat.

[Spudboy]

Maybe we can get 5 innings from Dice. Dare I wish for six?

[Cocos Disciples]

Hey CoCo' date=' how was the game last night? Where did you sit?[/quote']

 

It was fun as always. I was in the 3B side grandstand.

I'm curious to see how Varitek would do against right handed pitchers batting righty; he's never done it in his career.

[Dipre]

Dice-K has regained quite a bit of velocity, apparently.

 

He was topping out at 90 when the season started but has touched 93 tonight.

 

PEDROIA!

[Spudboy]

A double from Papi?

[Cocos Disciples]

Maybe we can get 5 innings from Dice. Dare I wish for six?

 

He only has 35 pitches, he should go at least 6 depending on the preset PC.

[Cocos Disciples]

Eckersley has converted Orsillo into using his ridiculous words.

[Spudboy]

He only has 35 pitches' date=' he should go at least 6 depending on the preset PC.[/quote']

 

Any idea what the PC is? 80, 90?

[Spudboy]

Orsillo's a pro. He's just adapting to Eck's style. I think they sound good together. I particularly like Eck's insight on pitching.

[Cocos Disciples]

Probably 90 or so.

[Dipre]

Why the f*** is Dice shaking off Varitek?

 

That double is the result of him not throwing what he's being told to throw!

 

He needs to STFU and take his signs!

[BSN07]

Evening one and all. Just got home from my teams game, won on walk off WOOT!

 

I've been meaning to ask, for those of you that have NESN or mlb.tv, what is the general opinion on Ecks as color commentator? I think he's really good and has a bright future in the business.

[BSN07]

Eckersley has converted Orsillo into using his ridiculous words.

 

He makes me laugh though:D

[ms_sox]

Eck may be eccentric, but at least his vocal pitch doesn't annoy the crap out of me like some announcers. Plus he's fun to make fun of...and I mean that in a mostly good way.

[BSN07]

That was an ugly pitch.

[Cocos Disciples]

Drat-o. 2-1.

[Dipre]

That run is all on Dice-K.

 

He needs to throw what Tek tells him to.

[BSN07]

I hate it when Dice-K nibbles...

I think he's doing well. He has the personality for color work. Certainly the knowledge of the game. As I posted earlier in the thread, I particularly like Eck's insight on pitching.

[Cocos Disciples]

Poorly played by Lugo.

[Spudboy]

It won't be but that should be E-6!
