6/30 @ Baltimore

Strangely' date=' I keep finding myself rooting for the Rays to beat the Jays. This concept of the Rays competing with us is still somehow new to me. I have to keep looking at the standings to remind myself that the Rays are in 3rd.[/quote']

 

You are not alone. It's strange.

[Spudboy]

Lugo needs to go yard!

 

Not! K.

10-1

[Spudboy]

Hey destroyah_53! There was a Boston band called "DMZ" that had a song called "Destroyer". Some members may remember them as "The Lyres". Anyway, it would be cool to have this song played at Fenway as Pedroia comes to the plate. Just thinking. I'm an idea man.

....Looking it up now.

[Dutchy]

Lets get some run support. 8 is a little too close.

 

Yeah, let's play for the manager's run x2. I think a 10 run lead should be safe.

[TedWilliams101]

Lucky that one didn't leave the building. Come on Masterson, pull it together.

[Dojji]

OK, don't carry this to an absurdity. Masterson's done enough. Get Saito warming.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Very close to being a 3 run blast.

[The_Destroyah]

s***!! TAKE HER OUT!!!

[Dojji]

MAsterson should never have started this inning.

[Spudboy]

Masterson time!

 

I meant to say Bard! LOL! Cheap vodka.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Holy s***. He's getting hammered. Hurry up and get warm MDC.

[TedWilliams101]

That sucks. Next reliever, please.

[The_Destroyah]

what's up with Masterson tonight?

[Dojji]

What the heck, we're STILL leaving him in? This is NUTS!

[Dojji]

Tito, you should have got him 3 batters ago. TAKE. HIM. OUT.

[The_Destroyah]

does he want to ruin Smoltz's big return? ha

[WhiskeyBreath]

MAsterson should never have started this inning.

 

Why not? He was lights out.

Easy there. How do you know Manny was warmed up?

[Spudboy]

MDC! The pride of Hyde Park. Va was right. More runs please?

[Dojji]

Why not? He was lights out.

 

Because he's not stretched out anymore and he already threw 2 innings. Even if he was stretched out in Spring he hasn't been maintaining it with his usage pattern. Expecting him to go 2 was stretching it, 2+ with no rampup is insane.

 

There was no reason to take this risk. You have your entire bullpen available tonight. It was stupid.

[The_Destroyah]

why couldnt he give up a homer to Aubrey Huff, if he is gonna give it up atleast let it help my fantasy team

[Dutchy]

Masterson got the win. Hehehe

[Cocos Disciples]

Masterson got the win. Hehehe

 

If we win...

[WhiskeyBreath]

He's gone more than 2 innings multiple times since going to the pen.

[The_Destroyah]

I think the bullpen is getting a little too comfortable with this lead...Delcarmen is letting the batters get on his pitches too

[Dojji]

No he hasn't. 1+ he's done a lot of, but he's appeared in 2+ innings only four times all year, counting his brilliant relief of Matsuzaka that presaged his move to the rotation and twice in the aftermath of that move to the rotation. You know, while he was still stretched out. And the only other time he did it was 11 days ago. And he'd taken them through the 6th so there was no need to ask him to do it today.

[WhiskeyBreath]

He's capable of it. You are making it sound like he can't do it.
