10/11 vs. Angels: ALDS GAME 3

[Dojji]

Get your head back on straight, kid.

[WhiskeyBreath]

rofl Hunter

[Dojji]

At least that kept Hunter at third.

[example1]

overall he still is a dumbass. remember every blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

 

Blind don't get nuts. Blind squirrels die. That's why evolution didn't select blindness as a good quality for squirrels...

Buchholz has all the tools anyone could ask for in a pitcher, except the thing that so many bad pitchers seem to have: common sense about pitching. There are so many minor league and college pitchers watching this game saying "pay attention to throwing strikes for Christsakes Clay". Instead he's stepping off, balking, etc.,

 

I don't love Bard coming in in this situation either.

[Dojji]

STOP SUCKING.

[redsoxrules]

Holy s*** tito go to the pen

Who would you rather see?

I'd be happier to see Billy Wagner myself.

[a700hitter]

He's killing me. He's spitting the bit. Tito is going to the other rookie with the bases loade and no one out. I'm gonna go throw up while he warms.

[redsoxrules]

Bard?

 

I dont like this move

 

hope the f*** it works

[redsoxrules]

Wagner

[example1]

Who would you rather see?

 

It depends. If Bard can throw strikes with both pitches then nobody. If he is nervous then Wagner, Saito or Oki (hell, even Papelbon) would be preferred.

 

That said, with the shadows the way they are, he coudl be very hard to pick up if he can throw his slider effectively.

[Dojji]

If Izturis plugs the gap, it's tied. I'd rather see the veteran in this situation.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Yeah, Wagner would be a good choice.

 

I gotta say I don't mind seeing Bard here.

[Dojji]

I'll take that!!!

[WhiskeyBreath]

HUGE double play.

[bsox0407]

ill take that. f*** yes bard

[a700hitter]

Big DP! Hunter should have scored on the last play anyway.

[redsoxrules]

HUGE DP!

[Dipre]

Tito's confidence in Bard pays off.

[Dojji]

Great pitching by the rook!

[bsox0407]

hell yeah bard

[redsoxrules]

Holy s*** Bard is pumped

 

101MPH

[Dojji]

And I have to say in his first ever playoff start, 2 ER in 5 IP by Buchholz is quite acceptable. You always want more, but this is good enough from a young unfinished pitcher.

 

Kinda reminiscent of Lester's world series start.

No complaints. Tito has to manage the rest of the way.

Combined with the offense actually doing what it is capable of, and an umpire who didn't establish a very comfortable zone, I would say Clay's start was very, very good.

[example1]

Clay has a very Dice-K way about him. He wants to throw his pitch all the time, and doesn't really ever give in. He can miss the zone by a lot, or be nearly unhittable.

[bsox0407]

nasty slider from bard after 99 mph heat.

[Dojji]

Didn't have a chance on that one.
