5/6 vs orioles

[VA Sox Fan]

Good break for Byrd there!

[SoxFanForsyth]

The Orioles 1st basemen are not good at picking low throws. Makes you appreciate Gonzo even more.

[jung]

ahhhaaaa....gammons got em'. Started talking about their improved defense and band...an error

[Palodios]

said 2 to 3 . The start wont be to later this week since he skipped on due to neck issues.

 

Clay is one issue.I dont mind most of the relievers ever since they brought up clayton,and then Alfredo showed some good stuff the other day.

 

Just Padilla,and Franklin Morales.

 

Then again Lester hasnt fully picked up yet either.Least he had one good game.

 

 

One thing i liked that was said(idk if it was gammons or Don)

 

Was that only more questions came up,and no answers.

 

Pitching him more isnt an answer clearly<_>

 

Morales is a good player. Its just a damn shame that even Valentine doesn't know what a LOOGY is.

In all fairness... Nick Johnson is a trainwreck.

[Sox Fire]

For a close game like this, i wouldn't trust him .

Well so is Chris Davis. That just supports my comment, though. They just have bad defensive players at 1B.

[FredLynn]

Why isn't Byrd flying?

but he makes up for it in offense

[SoxFanForsyth]

Very good AB here by Sweeney, regardless of the outcome.

[Sox Fire]

broken wing

[SoxSport]

The only thing that worries is the sox are stubborn, just like the thing with bard(which isnt turning out bad). They are committed to something its hard to change it. Since gammons mentioned that they will probably have buch start against Cleveland.

 

and no offense,but im not a fan of Vicente Padilla.Saw him warming up

 

 

Promote this poster to the majors.

 

Like I said, I'm not sure the front office is for us or against us. They are pig-headed and slow to change. They blew it not making Bard the closer and trading for Gio Gonzalez to start--not Bailey. My guess is Bard is probably a better closer than Bailey.

 

They are also slow to bring up AAA talent with upside. Instead they are content to play a bunch of retreads. This team has no spark--dead in the water.

[VA Sox Fan]

Thanks again Johnson

Lefthanded batters have a OPS of .410 against Morales this season. That's very very good. He can't get righthanded hitters out, but if he's kept in against batters who can hurt him, that's on the manager, not him.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Gotta send Sweeney here. Probably this pitch, too. 1-0 is a good count to run on.

[Station 13]

Sweeney should lead off, always put up good AB.

[jung]

I think you are looking at the evidence of why Byrd did not test Weider on the front of Pedey's uni

[NativeBostonian]

I realize that.... But can you tell me the last time Baltimore even had a winning season? They are winning gms from their starting rotation having a era under 2?? How long can that possibly last.... I have no "faith" in Toronto hanging around

 

I have a lot of faith in Toronto's offense. They can keep up with anyone when it comes down to scoring runs. But, I don't have that much trust when it comes to pitching for Toronto. But, having said that, I don't have any trust in the Yankees pitcher or the Red Sox pitches. So, they could easily out hit those two teams to win a game. Although I haven't watched them lately. But, the Rays offense isn't that good and they lost Longo for a while (there only real offensive player).

 

I know The O's always do this in the beginning of the season, but I just have faith that they are going to stay around for good this year. They just look a lot more solid of a team this time around.

 

But, who knows. I am not an expert. I just base my opinions on thousand of hours watching these teams play.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Remember when Gonzo said "This games on me. I promise that will never happen again" after the Oakland game??

 

Well, here ya go Adrian.

I know,and i thought hey maybe it would be easier for vets.(Look how long cook took)

 

Ross,and Brandon are vets. They need someone to fill in till Daisuke is back.

 

Yet ive seen how things are going,and I personally like Justin Germano

[FredLynn]

Isn't it time Gonzo comes through here?

Maybe we should PH for him with McDime.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Every time Gammons talks I feel like going to sleep.

[Sox Fire]

Thats not even funny

 

damn the shift got him

[SoxSport]

Middlebrooks hits a salami. That hamstring got better fast.

 

Where is Lavarnway? Let's get some thump up here. And that kid Iglesias to put some dazzle into the defense.

 

The Red Sox are as bland as Ben's personality.

[FredLynn]

Gonzo is going to K here folks.

[VA Sox Fan]

HATE THE SHIFT!!!

[Sox Fire]

One question, why did they bring lars anderson up?

 

Isnt Mauro Gomez better

 

Well like ortiz,you either hit into the shift or over it

[FredLynn]

I can't even remember the last time that stiff came through for us.

[Station 13]

Man, Gonzo done s*** this season.

[Palodios]

I have a lot of faith in Toronto's offense. They can keep up with anyone when it comes down to scoring runs.

 

I don't think they'll get through the season with Bautista hitting 180. If something is wrong with him, they suddenly lose a lot of their mashability.
