9/20 vs Orioles

[a700hitter]

Well at least when Wake pitches against the Yankees on Saturday Burnett will be the one pitching for them....

Unfortunately, Burnett is pitching his best in months and Wakefield's fuel gauge has been bouncing off E for quite some time. I hope Tito reconsiders this decision.

Would be a perfect time to go Aceves/Buchholz for 6 IP. Matchup for the 7th. Bard/Pap for the 8th/9th. I know it may be pressing Buchholz a little bit, but he said he felt fine, and it would just be 1 inning of work. Keep him on a 20-25 pitch count, and if he isn't sharp and gets his pitch count up, go get him. Throw his "simulated game" against a real team. It's time to pull out all the stops.

 

Throw Aceves for 5 IP, Buch for 1 IP, Doubront/Wheeler for 1 IP.

 

It's easily a better option than Wakefield.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Hughes scratched. Noesi to replace him for the start today.

 

Noesi has 3 appearances vs TB totaling 6 IP, 0 ER, and 7 K's. He's on a 50-60 pitch count, which should get him through 3-4 IP if all goes well.

Have they posted the lineups for game 1? I hope that idiot, Maddon has penciled in 2 third basemen again.

What a great game to put your MVP candidate on the bench. f***ing Yankees.

Well to be fair, it's a DH, so Granderson will be playing in the 2nd game.

Wow! What a surprise!

[cusoxfan91]

yanks up early:dunno:

[a700hitter]

Yanks with a 5 man lineup in game 1. I hope those 5 have a really big day.

[a700hitter]

Rays up 2-1

 

Top of the 3rd

[SoxFanForsyth]

Not a bad outing from Noesi.

[a700hitter]

Yanks are warming up Raul Valdes to take over for Noesi. Girardi will parade out 1 pig after another today until he finds one that the Rays like.

[a700hitter]

Not a bad outing from Noesi.

2 Runs 4 hits and 1 BB in 2 2/3 innings. He'd be our #3, but he is losing today.

Yup. Went just as deep as Bedard. :thumbdown

 

Brutal. Thanks Reddick.

[SoxFanForsyth]

It's a shame guys like Barnes and Ranaudo are so far out, and that our other guys like Drake Britton, Stolmy Pimentel, and Felix Doubront didn't take the steps forward that we hoped.

[Meh]

Not a bad outing from Noesi.

 

Nope, he looked good for the first two innings, then got into an area he wasn't used to as he's just a bullpen arm. I hope he prepares for next season as a starter.

[a700hitter]

Kontos to replace Valdes.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Kontos to replace Valdes.

 

You could be making these names up and I wouldn't know better. Seriously. Other than Noesi, and I feel like I have a fairly decent grasp on the Yankees system. At least a working knowledge.

[a700hitter]

Laffey in for Kontos

[Palodios]

Karibu Coconut is replacing Laffey.

[a700hitter]

With 1 out and a man on 3rd, Romine lined into a DP to 3rd to end the inning.

[SoxFanForsyth]

More f***ing breaks going the Rays way.

 

It's tough to beat the Orioles and the baseball gods.

[a700hitter]

Kotchman with a lead off double against Laffey.

[a700hitter]

Wade in for Laffey.

[Meh]

Kind of want to see Brackman get an inning in. See what he's got.

[a700hitter]

Logan in for Wade. Rays still leading 2-1 in the 8th.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Between the misdiagnosis of Ellsbury last year, the rash of injuries this year, the promotion of the deal for Bedard, and demotion of the deal for Harden, our strength and conditioning staff has got to go.

[Palodios]

Watch out Beth Israel, your position as official hospital of the Boston Red Sox is in serious jeopardy.

 

Seriously, how is it that such a mecca of modern medicine like Boston can have a team with such s*** poor medical staff for such a big team?
