9/8 vs Orioles

[ORS]

Yeah, but it's a quiet 20.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Drew getting to the 20 HR plateau:thumbsup:

 

Must be a contract year

lol.

Drew's OBP is too quiet as well.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Everything Drew does is quiet. He's like the most even-keeled player ever.

[italstallianion]

Every hit thus far for Boston has been a HR. They must be working on increasing their SLG%. Good thing seeing not 1 but 2 shots from Pedroia.

Handling the O's at home.

 

Just the way it's supposed to be.

LOL He's such a Horses Ass sometimes.

 

 

 

Nice to see Buchholz work out of a jam.

[ORS]

This Buchholz kid looks good, but he's no fat kid from Nebraska.

And he's not "Da Futchah" either!

Right on mate. If he continues to do well in this start, he'd have 8 good/very good starts, 3 bad/very bad starts, and 1 decent/middle start. Not too shabby.

Just for the record, Adam LaRoche is .342/.420/.575/.995 in 33 games with Atlanta. And that's not counting the fact that he just hit his 9th HR for the Braves in that time span.

Love when Papi beats the shift. Good AB.

[BSN07]

What was Bay swinging at? lol

He wouldn't have done that in Boston either. He would have Kotchmans role, playing once a week. Kotchman has a better glove, and they can keep him as a solid back up next year as well.

And Alex Gonzalez is hitting .278/.278/.456 with a HR tonight to add onto that. The point being, in a small window of time, s***** players look acceptable, acceptable players look terrific, and vice versa, so long as you are looking at the right window. Then, on top of that, there's the fallacy of the foregone conclusion, which in this case is that, for one, he'd get to play often enough here to go on that kind of streak, and two, that he'd hit that well against different pitchers in a different league.

Bases loaded for naught.

 

Drew sucks.....

[a700hitter]

Pedroia looking like Pedroia tonight. The difference in this team at home is like night and day.

[a700hitter]

Mighty Casey is up.

[VA Sox Fan]

I do sometimes but I was JOKING Your Drewness.

[rhet]

Not a huge Theo fan, but these moves were excellent in my opinion.

Prove it.

[VA Sox Fan]

Prove it.

I was. A 3 run BOMB....need I say more?

[Dipre]

I'd gladly be the guinea pig for that experiment.

I don't know dude, LaRoche is consistently a top notch 2nd half player throughout his career. It isn't really a small sample size anymore. LaRoche's OPS is close to 1 while Kotchman's is a .589 entering this game and he's 0-3 thus far. I'm not necessarily saying that we shouldn't have done the trade, but it's certainly worth noting thus far, Bosox's earlier point withstanding nonetheless.
