4/30 vs Athletics

[iortiz]

Nice AB Schopp...let's go Offfense!

[Bellhorn04]

Glad that inning is over.

Bottom line take home message: Buchholz is not ready to pitch in the majors. Cook is.

 

Hopefully Cook is, that is.

[SCM33]

Shoppach pisses me off.

 

He looks like Varitek.

[NZSox]

Shoppach took a pitch!

[Laser Show]

We have a 9.00 ERA in the 8th inning this year.

[iortiz]

SCM33 time to refresh your Sig my friend.

[FredLynn]

We are certain about Cook how?

 

I am not certain about Cook other than believing that he deserves a chance. We already know what Bucky can do. Personally, I think Bard should be in the pen and Cook given a shot at SP.

[mvp 78]

Going to our reliable setup guy: Atchison?

[mvp 78]

We have a 9.00 ERA in the 8th inning this year.

 

So the A's will get 1 run here?

[FredLynn]

Base hit. This bullpen is still aweful.

[a700hitter]

Buchholz managed to increase his ERA tonight.

[SCM33]

SCM33 time to refresh your Sig my friend.

 

Its hard to keep up with how great hes doing. I apologize.

[iortiz]

Why not Morales?

Have you watched any of Cook's starts this year?

[NativeBostonian]

Wow, I go do a math test and come back and this is what I see. Let me guess, Bobby left Clay in too long?

[SCM33]

Going to our reliable setup guy: Atchison?

 

Hardly. Hes a journeyman for a reason.

[FredLynn]

Two on and no one out for the Yankees...I mean A's.

We could easily blow this 10 run lead too.

[FredLynn]

Have you watched any of Cook's starts this year?

 

Nope. Just looked at his stats and read the press on him. I don't watch minor league games.

[FredLynn]

Atchison will walk the bases loaded

[Dojji]

Not again...

[iortiz]

Its hard to keep up with how great hes doing. I apologize.

 

Do not worry my friend we all knew that this was going to be hard to handle.

 

Where were we? Atchison? Ok... And BL... Wow!

[mvp 78]

I see BV knows when to pull a pitcher...

[iortiz]

Horrible move by V. He had Morales.

[a700hitter]

Did someone mention that the bullpen has been looking better lately? Puhlease!!!

[Dojji]

K

[mvp 78]

If I see BV mouth "wow" again, I'm kicking him in the nuts.

[a700hitter]

Its hard to keep up with how great hes doing. I apologize.

Closers are over-emphasized.

[SCM33]

Horrible move by V. He had Morales.

 

The problem is....none of them are good options.

 

Since when was Morales the cats meow of relief pitchers.....for us, for this year...which is not saying much.

 

We need arms.

[Dojji]

Not sure I like this.

 

We're removing a command pitcher who was getting it back together over the last couple htiters, with the bases loaded and less than 2 out for a strikeout pitcher with erratic control.

 

Not sure this is a step forward, even with Reddick's platoon spliit.

[FredLynn]

This is not ALL on the bullpen. Some of it belongs to Punto.
