OK..outta here.

Have fun guys.

 

Yeah, me too. I think I'll stop watching Red Sox games unless they're at a reasonable hour.

All these people are fed up with the Sox organization AGAIN putting an inferior product on the field but watch, Pumpsie and I will get all the sniper posts after the game.

Its a little slow around here today..

How long will it take for the Orioles to get their fifth run against Buchholz? I say the fifth inning.

 

You were off by one---to the worse

All things aside..... Baltimore is actually pretty good

Thanks for noticing! The O's are tied with four other clubs for the fewest losses in the league; the pitching has been very effective, with starters going much deeper in games than in past seasons and the bullpen currently the best in baseball; and the guys are clubbing the ball. How long this will last is anyone's guess -- the club is still very weak at 1st and 3rd -- but the team is doing very well against a lot of clubs. After Boston, it's four against Texas and three more against the Jerkees. We will know a lot more in a few weeks.

This is the difference between bad pitching and horrible pitching. If you let professional baseball hitters get up on you, they will start to look like Prince 1 through 9 in the batting order.

 

Even decent pitching controls that....piss poor pitching does not.

 

As for why the Sox might be worse...well there is the obvious....they have 2 subs in the outfield. I won't consider WMB a sub because I just don't think Youk is going to come back.

 

Beyond that though they are still playing like 9 individual guys...no smarts at the plate except for Pedey...maybe now AGons is starting to be more patient at the plate....Ortiz is starting to take to much of this on his shoulders and has started to swing at some bad pitches on the other side of the equation. You had to know Ross was not going to continue like he was and with the injuries is obvious issues against RH pitchers are just right there to see and he basically is a panic in the Outfield.

 

The bullpen has clearly been worse although coming around. On balance I am not sure you could say the SP has been better as a group although the lapses are in places we really thought would be critical. Now the SP 1,2 and 3 is even getting bad enough to disappoint me....Mr Was not Expecting Much to Begin With.....

 

I would say that even as bad as the bull pen has been the Starting Pitching and the lack of a cohesive offensive effort is killing them.

That's funny, as far as I know Buchholz isn't pounding away on an internet message board about how a sports team isn't doing as well as he'd like, all the while calling their manhood into question.
