Bard will be lit-up.

they had a really good stat at the beginning of the game. Lester is allowing a .467BAA on the first pitch. Last yr' date=' it was .267. Teams are figuring out why he was so successful last yr. Remember, the yrs before, he would get behind hitters and then end up with a good amount of walks and high pitch counts early. Last yr, he started putting cookies up there on the first pitch and teams waited on him, allowing him to get ahead. Now, they are jumping on it. Forcing him to nibble and getting him into deeper counts and more baserunners.[/quote']

 

Valid point. Hopefully he can adjust soon.

[TheKilo]

Good sequence there, is that his first K since his first batter?

[TheKilo]

Awesome recovery from Bard - thought he mixed it up reaqlly nicely

[Spudboy]

Hopefully he learned from that inning. I believe he did

[Spudboy]

This is embarrassing. Sox bats are asleep. Mediocre pitching baffling .300 hitters. Pitiful.

[TheKilo]

Bay is scuffling

[Teddyballgame10]

Bay might be in a little bit of a slump.

[Teddyballgame10]

Great bottem of the line up coming up. Lowell better come of the bench to PH.

[ms_sox]

Showered, got some chinese food .... and we're still losing, I see. :/

Really quieted our batters tonight.

 

At least my belly will be full of yummy in a moment.

[Cocos Disciples]

John Smoltz is so f***ing awesome.

[Teddyballgame10]

Yea that was impressive. Opposite of what Favre does.

[ms_sox]

OK, just need at least 4 runs! Preferably more!

[Spudboy]

Yea that was impressive. Opposite of what Favre does.

 

What did he do? Today's game?

[castigs850]

what did smoltz do? i just got in.

[a700hitter]

Has Nathan ever blown a 3 run lead?

[a700hitter]

How many more starts like this does Lester get before they pull him from the rotation?

[WhiskeyBreath]

God damn Morn No

[Spudboy]

Bard will be lit-up.

 

Clearly, I was wrong.

[TheKilo]

O/U on the number of pitches it takes:

 

9, under

[ms_sox]

2-out magic? Hahaha....

 

...once again, at least the other teams lost today. "cept NY's still playing.

[Teddyballgame10]

What did he do? Today's game?

 

what did smoltz do? i just got in.

 

Just gave an interview about how he didn't want his first start to be against the Braves because of all the bagged and s*** that would come with it. He knows when they play them its not just an ordinary game and he how he wants his first game back to be like any other. He told the Sox he he does not want his first start against them a while ago.

[Spudboy]

"Timely" hitting by Lugo!

[Cocos Disciples]

That game sucked plenty.

[Jasonbay44]

s***** game...Lester was horrible again.

[ms_sox]

That game sucked plenty.

Agreed. Even our best hitters, blocked.

 

*switches to NY*

Oh. I saw that interview. He's projected to be on the field with the Sox during their series with Atlanta in mid-June.

[TheKilo]

Oh well

 

Maybe Lester needs the trip to the DL, not Ortiz

[Teddyballgame10]

How many more starts like this does Lester get before they pull him from the rotation?

 

2 maybe

[Spudboy]

Sox did not put their best foot forward tonight. Weak-ass lineup with poor starting pitching = Loss.
