6/21 v. Padres

[Cocos Disciples]

Since most people are already discussing this game, I figured I'd start the thread early.

 

Aceves (3-1, 3.30) v. Latos (4-8, 4.06)

 

Beckett was scratched due to illness.

 

Let's win a ballgame.

Let's lock up the series with a win tomorrow.

A-Gon Red Sox:

I'd be the same way if I was on the Padres. Such a great player and the team goes no where. With the Sox he has a chance to go somewhere.

The question now is:

 

is he performing just the expected or has overpassed all the expectations so far?

[SoxFanForsyth]

On yesterday's postgame show on WEEI, they were talking to Pedroia and here's how it went:

 

WEEI: "So you're on pace to walk 100 times this season. Now, in the past you've been content to walk 70 times, in that area. What gives this season? Why all the walks?"

 

Pedroia: "No protection. No protection. We gave Adrian 154 million dollars and I can't get protection, this is unbelievable. I don't care how hot he's hitting, he's hitting .360, I need somebody back there protecting me. I don't want to walk, are you kiddin me?!"

 

Perfect response.

[Station 13]

Josh Reddick must start.

[italstallianion]

We're facing a righty, so I think that there's a greater chance that Reddick will get the start. Especially with another lefty (Crawford) on the DL.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Reddick will almost definitely start today. I think Gonzo is going to have a multi-HR game tonight against Latos.

Considering the available, this is the best lineup you can get these days, hope Reddick can consolidate and take that spot with Drew when CC comes back.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

CC still not hitting second? Goddamnit.

CC is on the DL.

Fire Francona

[BigPapiEnFuego]

In all seriousness, fire Drew.

[redsoxbeatz]

I feel another double-digit score for the Sox comin!

 

So happy to see Reddick playing. Tired of watching those 2 other bums get play time and BoSox dollars

How 'bout some humor to lighten the mood, this idiot thinks NYY will take the division:

You can tell Josh Reddick is hungry out there. Why not start him over Drew when CC gets back? I'll take a young guy hitting almost .400 over a over the hill, overpaid and over stoic vertan who is hitting .220 anyday.

[Wasatch]

WIN Redsox!

Yes, because Reddick is going to keep hitting 400

[d-money]

Hope Aceves can go 7 at least.Score runs early!!!!!

Reddick is hitting better than Drew right now, I'd rather see him out in RF than Drew right now

JD Drew has hit .225 the whole season though.

[Wasatch]

NESN HD for me tonight, Go Redsox!

[Wasatch]

I like JD Drew.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Thanks to the Yankee rainout, I get to watch this game on the big screen without the PS3 two to three pitch delay.
