8/13 Brooms @ the ready!

[Cocos Disciples]

62. That's complete game territory.

 

He's on pace for 140 through 9.

[Christian Snyder]

I think Drew should have been the DH

That would be fine also.

[Spudboy]

He's on pace for 140 through 9.

 

Today's starting pitchers are treated like pussies.

[Spudboy]

This is an excerpt from an interview on WEEI today.

 

On whether he would have made the Adam LaRoche deal had he known he'd have been able to acquire Victor Martinez:

 

Epstein: "Well, the LaRoche deal led to Casey Kotchman. Unlike LaRoche, who's a free agent at the end of the year, [Kotchman] is controlled for two more years. And he's also younger, he's entering his prime. At the time, we made the LaRoche deal knowing he could turn into Kotchman, because there was some interest from the Braves. That was part of it. But yeah, what you're hitting on was accurate. LaRoche, to a certain extent, was an insurance place in case we weren't able to address the bat. We didn't know if we would get Victor Martinez until an hour or two before the deadline, and we didn't want to end up empty-handed."

 

Interesting.

Today's starting pitchers are treated like pussies.

Well...it seems to work for average longevity or something...but I'd agree.

[P3dro1a15]

beautiful play by Kotchman

[Spudboy]

Nice play by Kotchman, again.

[Gosawks]

Another great play By Kotchman to get the tag down.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice inning by Buchholz.

[P3dro1a15]

score a run or make him work either or, we need to get Verlander out of this game

[Gosawks]

Lets keep on driving up the pitch count.

[Cocos Disciples]

Today's starting pitchers are treated like pussies.

 

Oh well. It's a reality of the game today. Pitchers just don't go 140.

[BSN07]

Buchholz has really put it together his last couple times out. He has just run into 2 good opposing pitchers.

[ms_sox]

C'mon Nicky, hit something, anything.

[ms_sox]

C'mon Nicky' date=' hit something, anything.[/quote']

Or not, if that works for you. <_>

[Gosawks]

THROW HIM OUT

[Dojji]

Verlander did us a favor.

[The_Destroyah]

WOOHOO WOODWARD ON BASE!!!

[Cocos Disciples]

Woodward has been extremely useful today.

[Spudboy]

Woodward was out!

[Gosawks]

He was out there.... Clearly out for my angle.

[Dojji]

Verlander's extremely dominant today.

[The_Destroyah]

Verlander's extremely dominant today.

 

with our lineups help of course...

[MANNYHOF24]

This is probably our shittyest lineup of all time today.

[MANNYHOF24]

How many pitches for Clay?

[P3dro1a15]

81

[Looch Ness Monster]

This is probably our shittyest lineup of all time today.

 

Did you see some of the lineups we put out there in 2000?

[Gosawks]

What an outing for Buchholz so far today..

[MANNYHOF24]

Did you see some of the lineups we put out there in 2000?

 

I was obviously exaggerating.
