May, 31st Tigers vs Red Sox

[jung]

Salty is right on this guys FB might crank another out

[evilhand]

Salty!

[a700hitter]

Salty is hot right now. It couldn't come at a better time with 3 All Stars in dry dock.

[TutGadol]

His nose looks like a donut filled with jam.

[a700hitter]

Today's players are wusses, but catchers are tough.

[TutGadol]

Scherzer's pitch count is at 70, good job working counts.

[jung]

I have to look at his record against the rest of the league. How the hell can Scherzer still be pitching this way. Does not seem to fool anybody. Has heat but the thing is flat as a pancake coming up to the plate.

He could be real electric at times.

[FredLynn]

Seven hits now against Beckett. Guess he is due for a lemon.

[Station 13]

Beckett is pitching BP

[a700hitter]

This will be the last game that Salty catches for Beckett.

[NativeBostonian]

Beckett isn't looking like himself tonight.

[a700hitter]

Beckett isn't looking like himself tonight.

He's looking like BTR.

[Station 13]

Everything is up for Beckett

[TutGadol]

Everything is up.

[Station 13]

Another hard hit ball out.

[jung]

Josh is actually lucky it has not been worse than this....one dinger with guys on and this would be a way different picture right now. Lets face it the Tigers live and die with dingers.

 

That said, I am sure the league has figured that out and is doing everything possible to keep them from going yard. Hard for Detroit to break out and give themselves some distance between themselves and the opponent if you keep them from going yard. To many porkers trying to trundle around the base paths to get anything done without homers.

[NativeBostonian]

I don’t think Beckett is going to go far in this one. I would have liked to see him do it, but he doesn’t have it tonight.

It happens. His pitch count isn't bad though. Maybe he can settle down a bit and eat up a couple more innings if he has a quick one or two.

Jerry and Don are such homers....praising the Sox for having the second most sac bunts in the league when V has already said he does not like the sac bunt and will only do it in the most dire of circumstances (like punto batting).

 

They are mostly trying to bunt for hits according to V and on occasion a sacrifice occurs. I do think Punto was bunting to sacrifice there.

Too bad he didn't actually sacrifice himself.

[NativeBostonian]

Too bad he didn't actually sacrifice himself.

 

Yeah, lets get some mayan sacrifices going. I think we can throw Lester in there too.

[a700hitter]

Too bad he didn't actually sacrifice himself.

Bunting is his only offensive weapon.

[jung]

s***...Youk looked a little rocky walking back to his position there. Looks a little rocky right now

[Station 13]

Is Beckett not throwing the 2 seamer this year?

[FredLynn]

Better get someone up in the pen. Beckett is dog meat tonite

[Palodios]

Beckett looking completely unconcerned about that hit. Its a shame this team doesn't matter to him.

[NativeBostonian]

You guys think the Sox are going to be able to score 5+ runs tonight?

[FredLynn]

You guys think the Sox are going to be able to score 5+ runs tonight?

 

Yup. But the seven run rule is in effect. We get to seven and there are even odds of winning the game.

[FredLynn]

I don't see anyone getting loose in the pen. Thats a mistake. More runs are on the way now.
