[BoSox21]

what are everyone's expectations on what kind of line we'll see from Smoltzy tonight?

 

I'll start: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

I'd say your line is about what he'll do. Maybe another walk.

[MANNYHOF24]

6 innings 5 hits 2 runs 1 BB 4 k's.

Is Smoltz going to be on a PC? He only threw 61 in his last rehab.

[TheKilo]

85

I think Tito and Farrell said it would be about 90 pitches.

[BoSox21]

I find it a bit odd that they used Masterson last night then

[Cocos Disciples]

While this of course means nothing, here is Joe Sheehan's projection for Smoltz this year:

14 starts, 73 IP, 64 K, 31 BB, 3.62 ERA.

I'll take it. 14 starts is around where most starters are right now, so that's a little more than 2 1/2 months. 73 IP is 5.21 IP per start.

[redsoxrules]

3.62 ERA?

 

that would be awsome

[Spudboy]

Yeah, I was scratching my head at that last night. Who else can go long if needed tonight?

[BoSox21]

MDC and Ramirez can go for 5 or 6 outs

[Cocos Disciples]

Smoltz is going yard tonight.

[Cocos Disciples]

Looking very Smoltz-y with his first pitch.

 

Strike two was filthy.

[BoSox21]

bleh

[YanksHater213]

I WANT DICE-K BACK GET MASTERSON UP

[BoSox21]

DFA SMOLTZ, GET BUCHHOLZ UP

[Dipre]

Lol, Dunn's gonna K.

[Cocos Disciples]

GET FELIX DOUBRONT UP.

[Cocos Disciples]

That's unfortunate.

[Dipre]

Fack

[BoSox21]

f*** this s***, yo

[Dipre]

Pull it together Smoltz!

[Cocos Disciples]

We're gonna need some bats tonight.

[redsoxrules]

excellent

[Dipre]

Really Smoltz?

 

Dunn fears Drew's arm.

 

It's the right choice.

[redsoxrules]

Need a DP here big time

[TedWilliams101]

Just one more out, Smoltz. Were only down 2 runs. Nothing serious.

[Dipre]

On the bright side, his velocity's pretty good.
