" We won a game last night. If we win tonight that's 2 in a row. If we win tomorrow that's called a winning streak".

 

 

 

Excited to see Tazawa in his first start! Hopefully the offense is there tonight again.

[BoSox21]

if nothing else, it should be interesting

[MANNYHOF24]

I am going tonight, so I will bring goodluck.

[ms_sox]

Let's make the win a streak by winning tonight. Go team go.

And yes, should be interesting...

 

Has there been any more word on the actual condition of Lowell's hip? ie, long term? He still looks pretty gimpy?

[BoSox21]

Ellsbury - CF

Pedroia - 2B

Martinez - 1B

Youkilis - 3B

Ortiz - DH

Bay - LF

Drew - RF

Varitek - C

Green - SS

 

Lowell out again

[Jasonbay44]

I'm excited to see Tazawa's first start, hopefully it goes a lot better result wise then the Yankees appearance.

[ManRam]

A win and Yankees loss tonight would be golden.

[Dojji]

Sergio Mitre is not pitching tonight, however.

[italstallianion]

Don't forget a Rays loss and a Rangers loss. Those are pretty good right about now as well.

[The_Destroyah]

Good luck for junichi tazawa and im liking our lineup, we can do this.

[a700hitter]

The bullpen will get overworked again tonight. From Francona's briefing:

 

Junichi Tazawa will be on a modified pitch count for tonight’s start, Francona said. The Sox typically are cautious with young pitchers, particularly in their early development, and it is likely the Sox will not ask Tazawa to give them more than five innings.

[Dipre]

The bullpen will get overworked again tonight. From Francona's briefing:

 

Well if he can keep the count low, he might go 6.

 

And remember, it's not lie the bullpen's exactly taxed tonight.

[a700hitter]

The went 3 innings last night and they got plenty of work over the weekend.

[Dipre]

Except Friday, not particularly no.

[yeszir]

We're gonna lose

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Tazawa pitches well in a relatively short outing and the offense fails to back him up adequately. Final result, I don't know.

[P3dro1a15]

We're gonna lose

No we are not. If Tazawa can pitch 5 and maybe even 6 we are fine, our offense is waking up a bit and porcello is over rated IMO. We still got Bard and Oki out of the Pen

[Dipre]

We're gonna lose

 

Your optimism is contagious

[a700hitter]

Except Friday' date=' not particularly no.[/quote']

Are we at the point where we don't consider the bullpen to be overworked unless they pitch 6 or 7 innings in a game.

 

Our only chance this game is the Reverse Lock theory.

Lol ok.

 

I never said that, but sure, whatever you say.

[The_Destroyah]

hopefully Tazawa can impress us here, how about a 8 inning shutout lol

[BSN07]

Evening all:D

[P3dro1a15]

Let's go Tazawa, show us something here

[BoSox21]

here's hoping Tazawa is Japanese for KONICHIWA BITCH, SIT THE f*** DOWN

[P3dro1a15]

f***ing Tek is in the lineup,

:thumbsup:

[The_Destroyah]

I like how quick Tazawa works.

[yeszir]

I'll issue a pre-emptive warning. If some kind of ludicrous fight breaks out in this thread, whoever instigates it is getting a 3 day ban.

[P3dro1a15]

:thumbsup:

r u happy he is?
