8/11 "Land of the rising sun II"

I'm not against the kid at all as you can tell from my posts from Spring training' date=' which I think were pretty prophetic about our pitching overall, especially since these posts were made in March.[/quote']

Not bashing you at all man, I know what your saying about it not being a great time for him to be making a debut right in the middle of a pennant race, Do you think he should get another start?

[P3dro1a15]

please don't blow this game

[suns]

Back to gametime!

[The_Destroyah]

If I were Leyland' date=' I'd wait until Thursday and go after Youk again with Verlander.[/quote']

 

yeah its a good thing you arent Leyland then, because then Detroit would be worse than Pitsburgh

He has done as well as anyone else. I'd give him one more start before Wakefield comes back. If he does well the next time out, maybe he could be the long man in the pen after Wake comes back.

Easy inning there.

In agreement 100%

 

 

Great inning by Saito!

[a700hitter]

Nice inning by Saito. After rain delays, I have flashbacks to that Orioles game, which might be the only game where Smoltz looked good.

[The_Destroyah]

the rain delay probably cooled alot of the players off too, its not quite as intense as before.

[P3dro1a15]

Bard coming in for the 8t, I like it get some of his confidence back

[WhiskeyBreath]

Speed kills

[The_Destroyah]

lol thats why pitchers shouldnt field.

[The_Destroyah]

[P3dro1a15]

damn that man is fast

Huh? Porcello hit Youk with a breaking ball. Youkilis charged him and could have seriously injured their prize pitching phenom. There will be retaliation, bet on it

[WhiskeyBreath]

Sac fly

It was a fastball.

[jacksonianmarch]

The gun had it at 80 something. And the rotation on the ball would say otherwise.

[P3dro1a15]

That was not a breaking ball it was a fastball

What rotation?

 

What are you talking about?

 

It was a fastball, stop making s*** up.

[jacksonianmarch]

Gamecast had it at 89mph 2 seamer. If he really wanted to hit him, he would have gone with the mid 90s 4 seamer

So as retribution for potentially injuring their prized pitching prospect, they should bait him into potentially injuring their ace?

[P3dro1a15]

ha, Balk nice

No, they should put Youk down so he cannot charge the mound.

buuut the rotation

[a700hitter]

Maybe since he was looking to bury it in Youk's ribs he didn't see the need to turn up the velocity to 95. Getting hit at 80 smarts a bit too.

 

Jackson, I think you are acting peculiar tonight in light of havving a 5 1/2 game lead and a late inning comeback win tonight. I think this Sox team still has you worried.

Haha, whatever Jacko is saying is making no sense. Do they really want to lose Verlander either especially when we have Beckett on the mound

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

No' date=' they should put Youk down so he cannot charge the mound.[/quote']

Okay, so they should risk Verlander being suspended for a rather lengthy period of time.

[Dipre]

No' date=' they should put Youk down so he cannot charge the mound.[/quote']

 

And then Verlander would get ejected and suspended.

 

My IQ goes down yet again after reading one of your posts.

[The_Destroyah]

standing O for Mikey, he earned it tonight.
