5/30 Tigers vs Red Sox

Berry just tried to be Bo.

 

Bo broke his bat over his leg.

 

Berry broke his leg with his bat.

hey hey hey it's Albers

Lester getting a nice hand there....deserved from the home crowd.

[FredLynn]

OK. I admit it. Lester had a much better outing tonight, especially after his team gave him the lead. Lets hope he can keep this up. We really need that from him.

[Palodios]

Now here is a crazy question. Does Atchison close tonight?

[TutGadol]

Nope. He's labored through 6. Let him sit down with a quality start (most useless stat in baseball) and hand it to the pen.

 

Winning / Losing pitcher?

[jung]

That was to funny. Probably took all the strength he had not to limp to the dugout.

[Elktonnick]

I think BV will have Aceves close tonight as well. Just a hunch

[FredLynn]

Now here is a crazy question. Does Atchison close tonight?

 

My guess is Aceves will be back out there.

Winning / Losing pitcher?

 

At least W/L measures an outcome of some kind. A quality start is just an arbitrary number of innings and an arbitrary number of earned runs that supposedly mean a start was good. But yes, wins and losses are pretty useless, as is the save.

 

Lots of stats really don't mean much.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Pedroia makes that catch.

[Station 13]

really, f***ing cheap hits.

[jung]

Well that has been waiting to happen for a few games now and bookends the throwing mistake of a few nights ago.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Talk about pure s*** luck.

 

Cue shot down the 3B line. Flare down the RF line. Unreal.

[Palodios]

I hate bitch hits.

[FredLynn]

Gonzalez not only cannot hit the baseball but he cannot field RF either.

[Elktonnick]

So does Sweeney

[NativeBostonian]

That's why you don't throw Lester out there in the seventh.

[FredLynn]

Lester ends up allowing four earned runs in less than 7 innings. Better, but not good enough.

[jung]

Not to say that play in right is Agons fault. V has been living dangerously with that. V is just lucky that he did not get the trifecta with that play...Agons does not make the play...the run scores...Agons hurt!

1 of them was an absolute cheapie (the last one), and Aviles should have never let that ball get through in the 1st.

 

Lester threw better than his line.

It was the space aliens I tell you.

[SoxFanForsyth]

It was the space aliens I tell you.

 

Now come on. A cue shot and a flub that would have been caught by anyone not named Gonzalez? It was pretty cheap.

 

7 K's, 0 BB, .476 BABIP. He wasn't exactly getting lucky.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said...

[jung]

Still you cannot call that performance better than OK and it is certainly below average for what you would expect from your Ace. We are calling for Beckett to be the #1 mainly because he is throwing somewhat better than Lester but Beckett would not be up to expectations for a 1 on a contending team either.

Nick Bunto

[Brennan]

f*** off Punto.

[SoxFanForsyth]

My dear God. Punto is so bad.

 

He's had THREE total bases since he lead off for the Sox on 4/8. THREE TOTAL BASES!!!!

[Station 13]

f*** you Punto.

Aces find a way. He did not. No excuses. His whole season thus far has been a string of excuses. He has basically sucked to this point of the season. No space aliens.
