4/11 @ Kansas City

[jacksonianmarch]

It's his first start of the season. Wait a month before killing him

[riverside sluggers]

How many MVP's you know that can hit that pitch?

[jacksonianmarch]

Gil Meche sucks

[Dojji]

I'll never understand why they didn't trade him for Halladay.

 

Because they wanted Buchholz and then more. No GM pays that. The Phillies gave them quantity over quality and the Jays took it to get Halladay out of the AL.

JP Riccairdi did note that the Red Sox had the best trade offer last July. I do believe Clay was in the proposed package

This is wrong, as usual. Philly gave up Drabek and Lee, which is plenty

[CoachC.]

pedroia is on roids. [/sarcasm]

I agree. But I do have reservations.

 

It just seems that Buck continues to have trouble with men on base. Is it because his "stuff" is not as effective from the stretch, or, is it because he has an I.Q. of 100 and can't concentrate?

[jacksonianmarch]

PEDroida?

[jacksonianmarch]

The KC pen is abysmal

[riverside sluggers]

I havent seen a pitcher be this wild since days of Daniel Cabrera

[jacksonianmarch]

I agree. But I do have reservations.

I thinks he has some anxiety issues like a lot of young pitchers. It takes some experience to allow pressure to roll off your back

[Dojji]

Why would you ever do a hit and run when facing a guy who gives up as many baserunners as Tejeda?

[riverside sluggers]

The calls for Lowell to be the DH will just continue to grow.

[jacksonianmarch]

This guy flat out sucks

[Spudboy]

The KC pen is abysmal

 

"Thank Gawd".

[Dojji]

oh, and Big Papi can stop swinging at ball 4 anytime now.

[jacksonianmarch]

Why would you ever do a hit and run when facing a guy who gives up as many baserunners as Tejeda?

 

I think they were trying to avoid the DP

[riverside sluggers]

Beltre shows Ortiz how its done! He's showing so far that 2009 was a fluke year

[Dojji]

Then take the pitch. It was borderlone anyway, and a walk sure as heck avoids the DP.

[jacksonianmarch]

KC should be contracted. This team has Greinke, Soria and nothing else

[Spudboy]

PEDroida?

 

Lol.

 

You know better.

[italstallianion]

Why would you ever do a hit and run when facing a guy who gives up as many baserunners as Tejeda?

 

 

 

Or with Ortiz batting. It's not a Hit AND Run if the batter can't hit.

[italstallianion]

They have a nice ballpark too. Can't forget that.

[Dojji]

Buchholz lets the leadoff man on again.

 

Oy...

[Spudboy]

I thinks he has some anxiety issues like a lot of young pitchers. It takes some experience to allow pressure to roll off your back

 

Yeah, that would seem reasonable. Lester kind of spoiled Red Sox fans.

[Dojji]

Finish off a player without all this drama, would you please Buch?

[Spudboy]

Beltre shows Ortiz how its done! He's showing so far that 2009 was a fluke year

 

2009 was an aberration, given his injuries. 2004 was the "fluke" (cough, cough) fluke year.

[jacksonianmarch]

Buch could take a lesson from CC and Burnett. Throwing 95 or 96 is nice, but if you cannot locate, then it's useless. Maybe if he dialed it down to 91-92, but located, he might be better off

Kyle Farnsworth could have taught him that lesson.
