8/13 Brooms @ the ready!

[Dojji]

For the record, as good as Verlander was all day, I don't think you can put a lot of blame on the lineup for this one. The pitching is better than the hitting is bad.

[rhet]

You PH Drew because:

 

A) Bringing a righty to face a righty is baseball heresy and would have Tito crucified by the media.

 

B ) Drew is an OF, bring Pedey to PH now, you lose an OF.

 

True. I was just pointing out that he had multiple options that were better than leaving the rook up there.

yes but I feel that if you put Drew or Pedroia much less both of em we have a good chance of having 2 runs on the board right now.

[CrespoBlows]

Does Verlander come out for the 9th?

[ms_sox]

Hitting in baseball is the most difficult thing to do in any sport.

Which is why they get the big bucks.

If you count all the popups, foul balls, and ground outs etc. does that still hold true? Or is it hitting the baseball well is the most difficult thing?

[The_Destroyah]

as strong as he looked last inning I dont know why not, even if the pitch count is a little high Verlander didnt look like he was tiring or trying to force pitches.

[Dipre]

Does Verlander come out for the 9th?

 

He's begging Leyland to come out as we speak.

 

But i doubt the old man will let him come back out.

 

That's a multi-million dollar arm that still needs to be protected.

[CrespoBlows]

Cabrera has a pretty good arm.

The act of hitting the ball.

 

Not hitting it well.

 

Hitting it at all.

 

It's something a person without the proper preparation couldn't dream of doing in the Bigs.

hitting the baseball well is very difficult...I could foul pitches off my foot allday before i hit anything, I dont know if its just my s***** swing but I foul pitches off my foot ALL THE TIME.

[Dipre]

Cabrera has a pretty good arm.

 

No out pitch vs. lefties though, that's his downfall.

[Cocos Disciples]

Cabrera had some nice movement on his pitches.

[Dipre]

Verlander's out of the ballgame.

 

Tito better sack the f*** up and PH Drew and Pedey if the chance to tie or win the game arises.

 

Rodney's nothing out of this world.

[Dojji]

A better chance? I'll buy that. A good chance? No. I like Drew, but he succeeds by working the count, and Verlander just wasn't beatable that way today. it's an open question whether the bat would have ever left his shoulder.

I can't even hit the thing unless it's soft and right in my eyes. Then I tend to pull it on the ground. Doesn't help that I've got a trick eye and the resulting problems with depth perception.

[CrespoBlows]

Ortiz needs Rodney to hit him with a pitch.

[a700hitter]

If Green's and Woodward's spotts come up in the 9th, we can only PH for 1, because we don't have enough MIFs. Tito really missed an opportunity not PHing for Reddick.

[P3dro1a15]

Papi is pathetic

[Cocos Disciples]

Wow. Just hapless.

[Dipre]

f***, that pitch was a foot outside.

I believe Papi's steroid denial. I don't believe his birth certificate. There's no way that he is only 34. He's probably more like 38.

[Christian Snyder]

Pop-up is a friggin' anchor around our neck.... It's like having a pitcher batting clean-up.

do you think Papi Glue would be a good adhesive at all?

[P3dro1a15]

looks like it's down to1/2 a game in the wild card, big series starting tomorrow

[CrespoBlows]

Love seeing Lowell swing at a pitch a foot inside.

[Christian Snyder]

Game Over. BoSox lose

[Cocos Disciples]

Ballgame. Verlander owned us hard.

[Dipre]

The bed:

 

It has been s***.

Thats exactly what I said, I believe he was just careless with some supplements but I also think that he is atleast 36 and that explains his recent struggles...
