6/24 @ Pittsburgh

[d-money]

This lineup is going through a funk now!

[SoxFanForsyth]

is this really happening??

[Youk Of The Nation]

Well f***adiddlydoo.

[BornToRun]

Game. Set. Match.

 

WP- Maholm

LP- McDonald (who's else fault could it be)

[a700hitter]

Hurdle is dumber than Tito. Hard to believe but true.

And Hurdle survives his stupid move.

[d-money]

Ells is struggling a little

[d-money]

Gotta keep it at 2 runs and hope for a miracle now

[BornToRun]

Gotta keep it at 2 runs and hope for a miracle now

 

What would count as a miracle? McDonald and Cameron having a Thelma & Louise moment and plunging their car off a cliff?

[Youk Of The Nation]

6 LOB for McDonald tonight. 3 for Youk. 0 for Cameron, but only because he batted first in the inning all three times he was up.

 

Lester put the ball in play more times than Cameron today. Pathetic.

 

They can still pull this win out, but they have less and less to work with. If the top of the order comes up again, they have to do something.

[d-money]

LOL

I'd be okay giving it to Cameron too.

Its not happening tonite. With the lineup Francoma put up Lester had to hold them to one run, maybe two. We aren't getting three runs.

I'm really sick of this umpire. His zone is absolutely ridiculous

[d-money]

f***ing embarrasing!Losing to these *******s

I only listen on the radio, but MLB Gameday has that third ball well in the zone.

[FredLynn]

Isn't there anyone here who is going to defend Francona against these vicious attacks from some of the posters on this forum?

[iortiz]

Now' date=' Reddick already hit, but our 1-4 already got the bases as well, so... if the probabilities don't lie, Francona is expecting that our top of the order hit for him above .400 (or .450 OBP) dammit Francona, is that your game plan?[/quote']

 

If our 1-4 continue getting the bases early without damage and TF keeps McD and Cameron since the beginning of the game, this gonna be the results for sure every single day (a lose), even he makes some moves like putting Redick in the last 3 innings, pretty simple!

 

Dammit!

[d-money]

Here comes Francona f***ing up the game!

[redsoxrules]

Hottovy?

 

seriously?

On one hand, 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.

[Youk Of The Nation]

...and as I type that, he puts in Hottovy. Okay, so two decisions now.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I hope Neil Walker ends up playing for the Rangers eventually. The jokes will practically write themselves.

[SoxFanForsyth]

What the hell is Darnell McDonald still doing in this game??

[a700hitter]

McDonald and Cameron due up. Pinch hitters?

[Palodios]

Isn't there anyone here who is going to defend Francona against these vicious attacks from some of the posters on this forum?

 

What's there to defend? Day in and day out he's putting .100 hitters on the field when he has better options, and using his mop-up men instead of his middle relievers in close games with a completely fresh bullpen.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Pinch hitters please.

[Palodios]

McDonald and Cameron due up. Pinch hitters?

 

Wait a tick.... Reddick is out of the game now?! What the hell? He went 1-1 after Cameron/Mcdonald went 0-6, and that doesn't earn him time? This is unreal.

[SoxFanForsyth]

why the f*** is darnell still hitting.

[Youk Of The Nation]

What? No.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Dammit. Now Francona is going to think that McDonald can hit lefties.
