John Lackey, RHP (2-1, 4.50)

 

Red Sox: The big horsefaced right-hander will renew acquaintances with the Angels, the team he spent his entire career with before signing with Boston as a free agent in December. Lackey recovered from a shaky first inning in his last start to turn in a strong performance at Camden Yards against the Orioles. Over seven innings, he allowed six hits and three runs, two of which were earned. His six strikeouts in that game were a season high. Lackey has given up three earned runs or less in four of his five starts. In his three Fenway starts this season, Lackey is 1-1 with a 6.06 ERA. Opponents are hitting Lackey at a .307 clip so far this season.

Joel Pineiro, RHP (2-3, 5.76)

 

Like all Angels starters, Pineiro had his ups and downs during April. The biggest downer was Friday's 10-6 loss in which Pineiro wasn't locating his sinker, leading to nine earned runs in 3 1/3 innings. He has walked just five hitters for the year in nearly 30 innings, but the preference is for the hits to innings pitched ratio to fall (40 hits allowed so far). If the control and command are there, Pineiro will be extremely effective. He pitched for Boston on a one-year contract in 2007, going 1-1 with a 5.03 ERA in 31 games exclusively out of the bullpen.

 

Mojos in effect:

 

"The DR is not a chicken coop" mojo.

 

"Mojo is awesome and you must respect it" mojo.

 

"Runs will keep being scored" mojo.

 

 

Keep on rollin' baby!

[Northern Star]

The first rule of mojo is you do not talk about mojo.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Don't forget 'Both starting pitchers in the wrong uniform' mojo.

Damn it, i was going for that, but forgot.

 

Add it to the mojo list.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Also Pasta Mojo, most likely. Im thinking Radiatore tomorrow, since it's going so well.

[SoxSport]

Yo, Papi. The fat lady is singing.

Yea I was about to post this too.

We should make BSPITWU mojo a theme.

I love this, by the way. We're doing it.

Tito, turn up your earphones.

[Youk Of The Nation]

But what about guys who were never on other teams? Where do we get a pitcure of Lester or Buchholz in something other than a Sox uniform? Or a pitcher for another team who has only played on that team?

It is a moderator decree.

My God, i thought it was some kind of food. @yeszir.

Duh

 

I actually did that purposely in the first thread, and inadvertedly (even though i said otherwise in this one), i think it should indeed become a trend.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Ahh! Nice. Didn't think of that. So for the Yankees series, we got CC in an Guardians uni, Pettite with the Astros...

[italstallianion]

Yeah, let's keep the streak.

Last year the only reason why the Sox kept giving Ortiz ABs, was because there was no guys to back him up. Lowell is too good to be kept on the bench as Ortiz kills rallies

Agreed. Makes me wonder why we were trying to get rid of him so badly if he plays the role of a DH just fine.

[riverside sluggers]

Sometimes the trades you dont make, are the ones that are more fruitful. See Manny Ramirez & Jon Lester to Texas for ARod

[TheMino007]

Lackey is gonna be jacked up for this start

[MNSoxChief102]

Lackey is gonna be jacked up for this start

 

Hell yeah he is. I'm looking forward to seeing him pitch tonight. I absolutely hate Mike Scoscia... hopefully Lackey pays him back for taking him out against the Yanks last year.

[Jasonbay44]

Being jacked up can sometimes be a bad thing, hopefully Lackey isn't too jacked up.

[Chamomile]

It looks like Ellsbury's going to be back sooner rather than later. According to Will Carroll, it's possible, though unlikely, that he'll play this weekend against the Yankees.
