8/17 vs. Angels

[redsoxrules]

ellsbury would have caught that...

 

yes, but then he would had to go on the 15 day DL

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Things aren't looking to good here in the 6th.

we'd be lucky if it was only the 15 day

[Will617]

Not falling behind 2-0 to everyone would help.

 

His pitch count isn't terrible yet. At this point, I think we'd hope for 6 and a third, maybe two thirds. It's also possible that Doubront comes in for the 7th. At least he isn't named Manny Delcarmen.

[a700hitter]

All of a sudden Buchholz is at 92 pitches with the bases loaded. Don't blow this game!!

[Spudboy]

they're both very talented and under team control for the next 3 years. no reason we can't keep them both

 

Yes.

[mvp 78]

You're up by 6, throw strikes...

[a700hitter]

Whew!!!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Good. We managed to get out of the inning without giving up a run.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Bell relieved Weaver.

[Spudboy]

I had to leave the house for about a 1/2 hour and missed the grand slam. Was it a cheapie or was it just gone?

[jacksonianmarch]

This Angels lineup is a joke. Callaspo in the 3 hole? Really?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

He hit it to right field towards the bullpen.

[Nixon4Prez]

It's nice to see the Sox have a nice game like this tonight.

[Spudboy]

He hit it to right field towards the bullpen.

 

Thanks. I just saw the replay.

I'm not sure why Abreu isn't hitting 3rd either. Or why Napoli is so low.

[Spudboy]

It's nice to see the Sox have a nice game like this tonight.

 

Lol. Welcome to Talksox.

[Will617]

Actually, Abreu makes isn't a bad choice batting leadoff, it's just unusual. Like batting a fast Youkilis leadoff. Still, that Angels lineup is constructed really oddly.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It's nice to see the Sox have a nice game like this tonight.

 

True. I just hope we can keep the lead. Welcome to talksox.

[jacksonianmarch]

6 run lead, pitcher over 100 pitches through 6, why is he still in the game?

[Yaz Sideburn]

6 run lead' date=' pitcher over 100 pitches through 6, why is he still in the game?[/quote']

 

why not? he's fully capable of going 115 pitches

[redsoxrules]

6 run lead' date=' pitcher over 100 pitches through 6, why is he still in the game?[/quote']

 

cause the bulpen sucks and 6 run isnt enough for them

[Spudboy]

6 run lead' date=' pitcher over 100 pitches through 6, why is he still in the game?[/quote']

 

He was at 65 after 5. He's still hitting his spots and throwing hard. He entered the game at 126 innings. The Sox have problems with the pen. He's about to close out the 7th.

 

I have no problems with that.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

There ya go.

[Yaz Sideburn]

another dominant start from buchholz. that's the fifth start in a row that he's gone at least 7 innings and he's allowed an earned run or less in four of those starts. his era on the year is now 2.36

 

can anyone guess who the last al east starter was to have an era under 2.50?

[Will617]

Buchholz isn't in the top 40 in pitches thrown, while both Lackey and Lester are in the top 10. It makes more sense to burden Buchholz a bit more and see if you can preserve the bullpen for Lackey and Lester.

[jacksonianmarch]

Well, Buchholz did miss 3 starts due to the hamstring issue

Clemens?

 

EDIT: Yeah, probably Pedro. Nice job Spud.

[Yaz Sideburn]

Pedro?
