[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I hope Lackey comes through on this game.

[Jasonbay44]

Even with this lineup we should pound Kazmir, he has been terrible this season, but knowing this team Kazmir probably pitches 7 innings allowing 1 run and gets the win. It seems like we hit good pitchers well for some reason and then allow s***** pitchers to dominate us.

[Yaz Sideburn]

does anyone think our lineup is better with scutaro (.268/.329/.370) batting leadoff instead of lowrie (.308/.429/.538)?

I'm conflicted.

 

On one hand, I'm a Lowrie fan.

 

On the other hand, I'm a "dance with the one you came with" guy.

 

Scutaro is hurting. But he's been pretty productive up until recently. And Lowrie probably is not all that healthy.

[Spudboy]

Dojji just blew a load!

[Quinny]

And Mike Napoli strikes again

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I just tuned in. Did I miss anything besides that home run by Napoli?

[Station 13]

chances of MDC appearing in this game just went down 100%

[Spudboy]

I wish I could enlighten you. But i just tuned in too.

Scott Kazmir has sucked

[Yaz Sideburn]

that's pretty much it. they made kazmir work in the first, throwing over 30 pitches but then lowell lined out right at the shortstop with the bases loaded. then they loaded the bases again in the second and victor martinez struck out

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'm not surprised. Sometimes we get good results when the bases are loaded but a lot of times we end up with nothing.

Thanks .

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Anyways, nice to see the Angels couldn't get anything even with Abreu's double.

Lackey at 54 pitches against this scrub offense

[Yaz Sideburn]

beltre drove in pedroia on a single in the first. pedroia has walked and singled in the game

and?

[Spudboy]

Scott Kazmir has sucked

 

WTF has happened to him?

 

He was once one of the best young lefties in the game.

[jacksonianmarch]

He had elbow surgery prior to 2009 and has been lost ever since.

[Will617]

Lost velocity from injuries. I think he's had more problems than just velocity, but I'm not sure.

[jacksonianmarch]

and?

 

At this pace, you're gonna need at least 3 innings from your pen

[Yaz Sideburn]

WTF has happened to him?

 

He was once one of the best young lefties in the game.

 

he was always pretty injury prone and he gives up a lot of runs in bunches. he gave up 20+ earned runs in may and july but he had been pitching well lately

[Spudboy]

He had elbow surgery prior to 2009 and has been lost ever since.

Oh.

 

Too bad. He had so much ability and promise.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lots of doubles I see.

[a700hitter]

Scott Kazmir has sucked

He's sucking so bad, yet we have only 1 run.

[Yaz Sideburn]

it seems like lackey cruises through the first 3 innings and then loses his release point in the 4th or 5th inning every time out

[jacksonianmarch]

He's allowed 6 hits in 3.2IP, his release point is just a piece of his problems.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

L.A on top with that single 2-1

[Yaz Sideburn]

He's allowed 6 hits in 3.2IP' date=' his release point is just a piece of his problems.[/quote']

 

he's always given up a lot of hits
