6/24 @ Pittsburgh

Wait a tick.... Reddick is out of the game now?! What the hell? He went 1-1 after Cameron/Mcdonald went 0-6' date=' and that does earn him time? This is unreal.[/quote']OMG!! The bat wasn't used to him getting a hit. It just disintegrated upon contact. Probably had dry rot.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I absolutely refuse to believe this is happening. I must either be dreaming or in some sort of coma. I'm going to strip real quick and wave my junk at a passing police car just to see if this is real life. Be right back.

[Jasonbay44]

McDonald is a beast!! Go Darnell!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Tek bunt. PH Ortiz.

[BornToRun]

Hell is freezing over.

[Palodios]

Reddick and Drew 2-2. Cameron and Mcdonald 1-7. Seriously Tito are you watching the game, or the stats?

[a700hitter]

Time for JD to get hot. We need him to get hot on this road trip, or things could get ugly.

[Jasonbay44]

McDonald and Drew back to back hits.

 

What the f***?

[d-money]

Good start!!!Dont f*** it up!!!

[FredLynn]

On one hand' date=' he works with what he's given. His only other options were Drew and Reddick in the outfield. If it were me, I would probably have started McDonald and Cameron too, in hopes that the top half of the lineup would score enough and Lester would hold the weaker Pirates lineup down. Then, if needed, you have two marginally better outfielders available to PH late in the game. Honestly, the only decision he made that I disagree with is the order in which the last half of the lineup was constructed. I would have gone Scutaro-Tek-Cameron-Mcdonald instead of the other way around. But honestly, he doesn't have a lot to work with in the outfield until Crawford comes back.[/quote']

 

Reddick is hitting .409/1.098 and is on the bench for nearly the whole game. Mike Cameron starts and is hitting .094 since May 30 with an OPS of .227; and for the season he is hitting .161/.514.

I don't know how you can possibly support that decision.

[SoxFanForsyth]

oops. I forgot about Scutaro.

....word of advice, pepper spray is equally uncomfortable when absorbed through certain parts of the body on which the skin is very thin. Also, go Drew!

[SoxFanForsyth]

beaut of a bunt there by Tek.

[d-money]

Can Scutaro come threw?

[Palodios]

Beautiful play by Varitek.

[a700hitter]

A well executed bunt. Shocking!!!

Again, when you have a strong 1-5, it makes sense to hold off your better PH options just in case. If the Sox are down by one in the 8th, I don't want McDonald and Cameron to be the only PH options for the 9-spot with runners on.

[Jasonbay44]

Come on Marco. Do work so I can play your great song

[a700hitter]

Scutaro needs to get on base here, so Ortiz will get pitched to.

[d-money]

Hit the f***ing pitch!!

[SoxFanForsyth]

do you freaking do it scutaro. don't even think about it

[SoxFanForsyth]

What a horrid at bat. Oh my God.

[d-money]

Jesus, that pinch hung up and Scutaro did nothing

[boston22407]

SWING THE BAT YOU f*** HEAD!

[a700hitter]

He has to call Ortiz back.

[Jasonbay44]

f***

[SoxFanForsyth]

Just absolutely pitiful and inexcusable.

[a700hitter]

Hurdle walks Ortiz. No?

[Palodios]

Remember when Ortiz used to be the biggest clutch hitter ever?

 

Let's do this s***.

[BostonSouth]

the worst AB in the history of the WORLD!
