9/9 vs Orioles

[Jasonbay44]

Paul Byrd (1-1, 7.56 ERA) vs Jason Berken (4-11, 6.07 ERA)

 

Berken is 0-2 vs Boston this year and in his last start vs Boston he allowed 6 runs in 1.1 innings.

 

Berken is terrible, kill this scrub and sweep the short 2 games series.

[BSN07]

This game could be 20+ runs LOL

[Javier Lopez]

berken is f***IGN terrible, didn't he pitch in the 18-10 game?

[Jasonbay44]

berken is f***IGN terrible' date=' didn't he pitch in the 18-10 game?[/quote']

 

That would be correct.

[Javier Lopez]

I love Berken, hes like a white Julio Lugo pitcher.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Come on Frasier, lets get this done.

I fully expect a football score tonight which probably means the O's will win 9-1

10-0 is a better football score...hopefully its 10-0 Boston, but either of these pitchers pitching a shut out would be a miracle.

Drew needs to be hitting in that spot more often

Consistency in the third spot is a necessity. Consistency is tough for pansies.

I would say V-Mart has been consistent enough in the 3rd spot. On the occasion he gets a night off, Drew is a good replacement.

[Dojji]

We have an advantage. Buchholz gave us 7 good innings and we were able to finish the game with low leverage guys so as long as Byrd keeps us in the game we should win the battle of the bullpens.

[The_Destroyah]

well its also a good thing that the O's lineup isnt very potent so even Byrd should be able to handle getting through 5 innings with minimal damage...he got lit up in his last outing but the white sox lineup is far more respectable than the lineup this Os team has.

Paul Byrd is terrible.

[The_Destroyah]

Paul Byrd is terrible.

 

yes, thats why I probably should have specified what I meant by "minimal damage" I meant 5 innings and 4-5 runs...not good but we have the ability to outscore them and our bullpen should hold up better than theirs.

Joba busy showing why he's better than Clay right now.

Buchholz is dealing lately.

Can Joba suck any worse?

[Spudboy]

Yes.

Joba busy showing why he's better than Clay right now.

 

He hasn't had a good start since the third start after the ASB against TB. The Yankees are probably partially to blame, but he clearly has a ton of issues that need to be worked out.

[ORS]

Paul Byrd is virtually worthless if he's walking people.

[redsoxrules]

Yay tek!

[ORS]

Tek up there grovelling for walks.

[ORS]

Stupid.

[redsoxrules]

Ellsbury maybe fast but not that fast. horrible call

[Spudboy]

I see that Texas pounded Cleveland 10-0 today.

This is a must win for the Sox. Oh joy.

[Spudboy]

Byrd throws harder to 1st than to the plate.
