Any news on Lowrie's MRI?

 

MRIs revealed just inflammation. He'll play tommorow.

[MANNYHOF24]

It's not that far away.

 

What is stopping him from pitching for 5 more years? As he has shown time and time again, he is so valuable. What team has the security of Wake?

[Station 13]

Keep it up Wakey. We need you 7 at least.

[MANNYHOF24]

Is anyone else comforted by Scuturo's sure hands at short stop?

[Station 13]

Is anyone else comforted by Scuturo's sure hands are short stop?

 

Anyone is an upgrade over Lowrie. God, he's worst than Jeter.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[BornToRun]

Yankees really sticking it to Ortiz.

Hopefully, he back is fully healthy and he doesn't break down in August.

Jeter has good hands and makes plays right at him. I cringe everytime Lowrie fields a ground ball.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Carl needs to catch fire in this series. He hits so well but he's struggled against the Yanks. All out on the front foot again. Stay back and drive the baseball.

 

EDIT: Much better

I'm fine with Lowrie's fielding. He's no Ozzie Smith but he's adequate.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Scut should bunt here.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Plain and simple, he's hitting .220 vs RHP and like .440 vs LHP. He needs to platoon with Scutaro, if you ask me.

[a700hitter]

Scut should bunt here.

I like that move, but Francona is catching an early nap, so don't expect it.

[Station 13]

C'mon Scooter

Really? He seems to bobble the ball a lot on seemingly easy plays.

[italstallianion]

As long as Wakefield reaches #200 career wins, he can retire whenever he wants and I'll be happy. Just a few more.

[BornToRun]

Battling

[a700hitter]

Really? He seems to bobble the ball a lot on seemingly easy plays.

Over the course of the season, it will not happen a lot. I think he actually has very good hands and a strong arm. His range is not the best.

[BornToRun]

Long AB and moving the runners over, nice job.

[a700hitter]

That was as good as a bunt.

[Palodios]

I like letting Lowrie and Scutaro battle for the position. Competition breeds success.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Nice AB by Scut there. Drove up the pitch count and advanced the runners. Well done, Scutaro. Very solid AB.

[Station 13]

MArco good AB.

[BornToRun]

Varitek GS anyone?

[SoxFanForsyth]

God I hope Tek gets a fastball up and over the middle of the plate and drives it over that short porch in RF

[a700hitter]

I wouldn't IBB Drew here if I were Girardi.

[Palodios]

Intentionally walking a team's #8 hitter is just plain ridiculous.

[Station 13]

C'mon Tek. A fly please??

[a700hitter]

Varitek GS anyone?

I think he hit his one and only GS against Burnett
