4/30 vs Athletics

[SCM33]

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

 

Brady Anderson his 50 homers 1 year.....

 

Flukes happen.

 

Good bullpen performance = fluke.

[jung]

Why is V do reluctant to bring in Morales to pitch to LH hitters. I am not trying to talk up Morales because being in the Sox pen is an indictment all by itself. However it still makes more sense to bring in a crappy LH pitcher than it does to bring in a crappy RH pitcher in that situation.

[Brennan]

Still only 1 run charged to the pen as I type this.

[a700hitter]

Let me repeat-- this is a suckass nothing offense we are facing tonight, and we are hanging on by our fingers tips after scoring 11 runs. f***ing pathetic.

[FredLynn]

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.

 

We have an arm. He is named Daniel Bard.

[Dojji]

We have an arm. He is named Daniel Bard.

 

Daniel Bard's going to pitch the 6th, 7th, 8th and close every night.

Yes, we definitely do.

Its not going to happen. Get past it.

 

Maybe Cook comes up and Clay goes to the pen to work s*** out, but Bard is not going to the pen.

Badly.

[a700hitter]

2 nice pitches from Morales

[jung]

Well maybe he was saving Morales for Reddick. But you have a point...maybe Atch should have stayed once he got his act together.

 

I get so flummoxed by the Sox bull pen. Help me out here cause I left for about 2 minutes. Did Atch start the inning as a clean inning and end up with the bases loaded?

[mvp 78]

I thought Morales was decent down the stretch last year.

[SCM33]

11-1 lead turns in to a 11-6 lead with the bases loaded.....

 

The last 5 pitchers have only gotten 4 outs. Ouch.

[a700hitter]

We have used 5 pitchers to get the last 4 outs-- so ridiculous.

[mvp 78]

Gammons is boring. Remy needs a better backup.

[SCM33]

Spoiler.....hes going to walk him.

[Dojji]

Reddick is going to murder the next pitch.

[Dojji]

PEDROIA!!!

[mvp 78]

Don't know why he pulled Padilla.

[NativeBostonian]

Watching this team is like watching Tony Romo play. So up and down. I am going to be sick.

[SCM33]

Spoiler.....hes going to walk him.

 

Ahhh, Im wrong......and love it.

 

Great play Pedroia!

[iortiz]

Thanks God.

[Dojji]

Atta boy Pedey!

[a700hitter]

Thank God for the little man.

[jung]

Jesus f***ing God even Gammons sounds relieved. Pedey bails this team out of so much s***. I don't even want to think about how bad much of this would look if Pedey was even just an average 2nd baseman.

[kapsis21]

LOL dp

[mvp 78]

Pedroia is trying really hard to get BV to play cribbage with him...

[FredLynn]

Daniel Bard's going to pitch the 6th' date=' 7th, 8th and close every night.[/quote']

 

He should be our 8th inning guy or our closer. Everyone else in the bullpen gets shoved down a notch in terms of when they get into a game. No more clutch situations for Atchison, for example.

[Brennan]

Actually all 6 A's runs charged to Clay.

 

Bullpen just wants to keep the high tension.

[jung]

How tough is a play that actually looks more difficult in slow-mo...unbelievable play by Pedey...look at V. He is about to kiss him.
