6/6 vs. Texas

[WhiskeyBreath]

Woah, that was close.

[Dipre]

Cruz misjudged that ball badly.

[ORS]

If it says Lester is doing very well and Ortiz homered' date=' then yes.[/quote']

I was aware of and not terribly surprised by the Lester part. The other thing, well, I'm not sure if I need to start looking for frogs raining from the sky or what.

Lol,that's so old-timey.

 

Youk=Clutch.

[Spudboy]

Well' date=' soar relatively speaking. Not sure if from s***** to slightly less s***** is "soaring". [/quote']

 

I was being facetious. I said earlier in the thread that Papi needs a multi-hit game. I got my wish:D

[TedWilliams101]

Bay is going deep. I'm feeling it.

 

Got too far underneath it. Grrrrr.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Long wait.

I don't know if anyone remembers this, but the Ortiz homer was reminiscent of the Shea Hillenbrand walkoff against the Angels in 2002.

Y'know, Green may not be a great SS, but he must be a serious Lucky Charm for the team etc.

[Cocos Disciples]

That's too bad. Still f***ing awesome.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Dunzo. Oh well

[TedWilliams101]

Too long to wait.

How so?

[Cocos Disciples]

Lester has 22 Ks in his last 12 1/3 IP. Also 4 hits in that span.

[Dipre]

Broken.

 

f*** Young.

[Spudboy]

Too bad. Hope he finishes strong. A shut-out would be nice.

[WhiskeyBreath]

I know he hasn't thrown a lot of pitches but do you think this is the type of game where they pull him a little early because of the big lead?

[ms_sox]

How so?

Well, the win record for when he's in the game (vs. Lugo)...even w/all Green's errors.

[ms_sox]

With Green at short the Red Sox are 21-8

[TedWilliams101]

I'd say that if he has a lengthy 8th, you finish with someone else.

[Dipre]

Holy s***, Byrd looked like an A-ball hitter against Lester in that AB.

[BoSox21]

With Green at short the Red Sox are 21-8

 

stunning statistic

[TedWilliams101]

90 pitches through 8.

[BoSox21]

let him finish it off.....or pull him after 1 out and let Bard finish the game to give Lester a massive ovation

[WhiskeyBreath]

Only 90? I guess I'd let him start the inning but I would have a guy ready.

 

I'm not opposed to seeing someone else start the inning though.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Ells looked safe to me.

[BoSox21]

oh wow was he ever safe

[ms_sox]

C'mon Lester, complete game/shutout, you can do it...

[ms_sox]

Aww...darnit.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lost the shutout. Still, really awesome last two games for Lester. Very encouraging, not surprising. If he keeps it up, along with Beckett's recent performances, then I'll feel a lot better.
