he was safe

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Not a lot of calls going the way of the Sox this series. His foot was off the bag.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Interesting top half.

[mvp 78]

Let's go Wake! How about an easy first inning?

[AtWork]

Didn't take the umpires long to f*** up today.

[mvp 78]

Ump was in bad position.

[boston22407]

1-2-3 1st for Wake!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wakefield is good the first 2 times through the order. The third time, though, he gets shelled.

 

First time through order, batters are hitting .259/.294/.415

Second time through the order: .219/.289/.391

 

Third time through the order? Yikes. .304/.360/.554.

[mvp 78]

Isn't that similar for most pitchers? Third time through the order is after 4+ innings. If it wasn't an issue, there'd be more CGs.

[boston22407]

Dear lord, does Wily Mo have a hit against a knuckleball in his career?

[boston22407]

6up 6down

He's never faced Wakefield before but he's 1-1 against Dickey. Must have been a fastball.

[mvp 78]

There goes Furbush's perfect game.

[redsoxbeatz]

Stacked lineup. Win #200 coming up.

[TedWilliams101]

So why again is Mcdonald in the lineup? I mean, Reddick only hit the go-ahead HR last night... I'm sick of a platoon where there doesn't have to be one. Just let the kid play.

[mvp 78]

Great AB Ells. Way to take a pitch.

[boston22407]

Sox are K'ing alot today

Ah, no he didn't. You must be thinking of another game.

[Station 13]

Taco will never add working the count as part of his game.

[jacksonianmarch]

Furbush looks like a promising young pitcher.

Not really

how can you possibly complain about Ellsbury this season?? He has said multiple times that through video, players can get a feel for what a pitcher throws so he doesn't feel like he has to work the count anymore.

[Jasonbay44]

What the f*** are we doing?

[mvp 78]

Can POS Scutaro come back please?

[TedWilliams101]

Ah' date=' no he didn't. You must be thinking of another game.[/quote']

 

Lol yeah, i was thinking about Friday night's game. Still, point remains.

How do you get a feel by seeing only one pitch?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Since when do you have to touch the bag at 2nd?? These umps are f***ing us ridiculously hard.
