08/15 Sox @ Texas

[Spudboy]

The noobs have to pay better attention to game thread rules.

 

WIN!!

[Palodios]

Well, its not like the rules are posted anywhere... maybe someone should put a sticky up?

 

On another note-- did talksox just go down?

[a700hitter]

I wonder why Hall isn't in Left Field today with Lowrie at second, putting Patterson on the bench.

[Palodios]

They just mentioned that Lowrie is still having a tough time with heat exhaustion. Its probably not a good idea to have him out there today.

I wonder why Hall isn't in Left Field today with Lowrie at second' date=' putting Patterson on the bench.[/quote']They just said that Lowrie is still dehydrated from the first game. It seems that Lowrie is a bit frail.

I don't understand this, just drink your god damned water! <_>

[a700hitter]

I don't understand this' date=' just drink your god damned water! <_ understand if he was a pitcher but is not even an everyday player. i wonder it still the recovery from mono>

Please don't take my comment personally. Even the site owner missed this week.

 

I think there may be a thread that explains the rules but you're write. There should a sticky.

 

I've been too busy for the last couple of hours being a Father to notice if TS went down.

It's more complicated than just hydration, I expect.

 

Has anyone here ever had Mono?

 

Lowrie lost 20 pounds of body mass. He is still "getting his legs under him".

 

Those are Francona's words.

[Yaz Sideburn]

and here's where daisuke blows the game and runs his pitch count up so high that the bullpen needs to come in for the 6th

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Well Texas is on the board first.

[Spudboy]

Not good.

 

But. Did everyone see the play Kalish made? Nice grab going away and great throw to third. That kid has some real skills.

[a700hitter]

Dice K is up to his usual BS. His pitch count is 42 and he's not out of the second inning. We'll have to go to an exhausted pen in this heat today for about 4 innings.

[Spudboy]

Dice got lucky there with the unassisted DP.

[a700hitter]

We were lucky that the hit and run was on so that Scutaro was running to cover and was right there for the line drive.

I'm tired of stating obvious things about the guy. Thanks for stepping up.

[Yaz Sideburn]

at least daisuke has kept hamilton down... for now

[a700hitter]

Hamilton hitting the ball back through the box is a scary thing.

[Yaz Sideburn]

we have to at least run wilson's pitch count up so we can get some of our lefties in the game

[Yaz Sideburn]

it sucks that the red sox get penalized by a wider strike zone becuase they're such good hitters that work the count and the umpires want to speed up the game

[Yaz Sideburn]

lowell better do something with the guy in scoring position because salty's batting 6th (wtf?)

[a700hitter]

He struck out a career high of 10 or 11 when he faced the Red Sox at Fenway. I'm not buying the wider zone excuse.

You say that as if it's a fact.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Come on Salty! Bring Beltre home.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Or you can groundout...

it's not an excuse and i'm not just talking about this game

[Yaz Sideburn]

You say that as if it's a fact.

 

just a personal observation

[yankees228]

just a personal observation

 

You can observe that there are balls called strikes against the Red Sox at times. What you can't observe is the umpire's motive.

[Spudboy]

Pizza Face with the excellent base running.

obviously the connection isn't fact. but you have to wonder when it bothers one umpire enough to come right out and say it's an "embarassment", how many other umpires it also bothers
