5/1 vs Athletics

[BornToRun]

I am unsure if you guys are just jokingly misspelling the name or if you are unaware that his name is Punto

 

I'm equating him with the ford pinto. A small, laughably s***** automobile produced throughout the 1970's.

[Mr Tibbs]

Bobby Abreu is unemployed and always hit at Fenway. Maybe there is an option.

 

Really, that's an option??!! I would rather have Vlad if we are going that route

haha, ok good.

[BornToRun]

It's not his fault. He is a very good platoon/part time player. He can get incredibly hot for extended periods. Right now' date=' you are right that we have no other options. Howvere, Bobby Abreu is unemployed and always hit at Fenway. Maybe there is an option.[/quote']

 

We can't just keep throwing money at people though. We have Sweeney, Ross, Byrd, and Darnell already. It'd just be a log jam.

Vlad is currently dealing with some legal issues in the DR

[jung]

He got us out of one the other night didn't he?

 

That was such an idiotic piece of hitting that I even posted about it. The hitter had been lookin' at Buch's pitches all night. Gets the reliever with two outs and guys on base and swings at the very first pitch he sees....should never have happened.

Punta Walk.

Aviles Bomb.

I wasn't arguing, I just thought I remembered him getting out of a bases loaded jam.

....is the sarcasm? Ells and Crawford are out for awhile. Sweeney will not continue his hot hitting. Ross is slumping. McDonald is f***ing awful. If Abreu comes in, plays LF and hits, you'll be happy

[BornToRun]

Just glue the bat to his shoulder. Might get a BB or two out of it.

[a700hitter]

All this talk about conditioning is a little misplaced with a chubby old utility infielder batting.

[jung]

Damn it ...Mike just missed that one

No. They'll be back eventually. Sweeney and Ross aren't so bad that we have to compensate for them, Byrd as well. We can make it without spending in free agency.

[jung]

Sorry Mike...should not have missed strike two...thought he would have deposited that one into the monster seats

[jung]

Notice Sox have finally smartened up a bit

[BornToRun]

At least we're taking a few.

[jung]

Unbelievable...Sweeney works him to 3-1 and then swings at Ball 4

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Not so sure this team is going to pull this one off. Really needed to push across a couple right there. That was two terrible, terrible AB's by Aviles and Sweeney.

There's still time.

[BornToRun]

You still suck, nick.

[jung]

I know Magadan is supposed to be some sort of God but instead of concentrating on which guy swings from an open stance and which guy has a hitch maybe he should teach them the difference between smart hitting and not so smart hitting.....cause hitting is how this team must win games

[redsoxbeatz]

Where's the offense at? Need A better 3rd baseman if you'd going to be out. V could of at least done Aviles at. 3rd and Iggy at SS.

 

Gonzo needs to start a rally.

[a700hitter]

Punto can barely reach 1B from third.

[BornToRun]

Cheap hit.

[jung]

Was Aviles covering on that....Pedey should have been covering on that...I know Aviles range issue is going right not left but he should have gotten closer to that than he did

[SoxFanForsyth]

Oh, so that runner is allowed to just run 8 feet into the grass?

[Station 13]

Isn't that runner out anyway going out the line?

[a700hitter]

Heads up move by Punto avoiding the runner for the easy tag out for the third out and making the throw to first.

[BornToRun]

At least the yankees are getting their asses kicked.
