Way ta' go David. He loves loves loves pitches on that plane. He can take you out anywhere depending on whether the ball is inside or outside. If he can just lay off that high heat he could end up right back where he was about a month ago.

Nice defensive play to cut Gonzalez's line drive.

 

Schwing!!! With Big Pappi getting hold of that one, it could have been 3-0 but for that play. Ortiz must just about be dea0-set certain for the All Stars voting.

I wouldn't mind him missing that game and resting instead. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but rest is important too.

Another shut down inning after we score. Thats really a key to winning these games. Getting ahead then not giving the other guys any confidence that they can win.

As a DH how much rest does he really need?

 

When it comes to other sports that I follow I don't want the better players playing for other teams, ie, playing for their country etc in football (soccer). By my rationale, this would apply to pitchers especially in baseball.

Agreed.

 

Still think the pitching needs addressing though. The firepower in the batting line up is there. Just not sure the pitching can do it consistantly.

I could see getting a quality SP and trading Matsusaka, if we can. Or DFA him. He is gone after this year anyway. I think we have the trading pieces to get a quality SP.

Maybe Epstein is still in love with Youkilis and would send Garza over for him and DiceK :D

Pods has had some really nice at bats lately. That was a terrific job of taking what the pitcher gave him and doing something with it...vital for lead off hitter.

Trade garbage, get garbage in return.

Are you just now noticing this?

 

I usually don't pay attention to that kind of thing early in the game. Now it is the point where it makes a difference.

Yeah I agree. The only reason I even knew was bc I was having to keep up on the MLB app on my phone while I was at dinner, so it constantly had the box score up.

I pay attention from the first batter. Maybe an OCD thing?
