6/21 Marlins @ Red Sox

[jung]

Looks like the worst we are going to get is Zambrano out of the game...maybe tied and into their bullpen. 100 pitches in 5 innings!

[Station 13]

Could be his .554 SLG. Or his 13 HR.

 

HR or nothing hitter.

[BornToRun]

Man' date=' as much as I love Youk for his Jew-ness and his being one of the two guys left from 2004, Middlebrooks is awesome and should be this team's every day 3B. No doubt.[/quote']

 

I love youk for what he's given this team over the years and I always will but the time has come for us to cut ties and move on. Just the way it is.

What is "Jew-ness"?

[BornToRun]

HR or nothing hitter.

 

What are his numbers with runners on?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm going to miss Youk. Who would have thought Ortiz would be the last one left? I would have bet on Varitek or Wake.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I KNOW he is hurt this year; AND he is slumping. He should heal up and come back stronger.

 

He was hurt each of those other years too, and in fact I've heard him say in interviews that there's always a point where he's working his way through an injury. He doesn't just slump, not for 30+ games. If it's an extended slump, he's hurt, simple as that.

[Cocos Disciples]

What is "Jew-ness"?

 

He's Jewish and I'm not eloquent.

[BornToRun]

HR or nothing hitter.

 

Not like that's a bad thing. Especially from a catcher.

[BornToRun]

I still say varitek comes on as a coach at some point.

Definitely wouldn't have bet on Ortiz in June 2009.

[SoxFanForsyth]

HR or nothing hitter.

 

Coming into today's game, he was hitting .263, .307 OBP.

 

He's not a high OBP guy, and that's fine. Because he swings hard and he's strong enough to get away with it. He can have weak contact and still drive the ball out of the park.

 

Plus he's had as many doubles as he has homeruns.

[Cocos Disciples]

I still say varitek comes on as a coach at some point.

 

That'd be great. He was at the game last night with his new girlfriend/wife. He did well with her.

[Station 13]

Zambrano should be charged with 10 runs or something with how many runners he had on.

[BornToRun]

That'd be great. He was at the game last night with his new girlfriend. He did well with her.

 

A Captain & A Pimp.

 

The Oscar winning sequel to An Officer & A Gentleman.

[Station 13]

Dice-k should be out the game.

[Cocos Disciples]

Dice-k should be out the game.

 

Why now? He's retired 14 in a row. Let him finish the 6th.

 

EDIT: Or not.

[BornToRun]

Lame.

[FredLynn]

Well that didn't take long. DiceK sucks.

He should be removed right now.

[Station 13]

f***

[BornToRun]

Still only 1 run vs Florida spent bullpen.

[SoxFanForsyth]

With 12 outs left. Games not nearly over. They can and should still win this one.

[BornToRun]

I'm feeling walk off tonight anyway. Should be fun.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow DiceK really taking this one hard

Of course he slumps. Remember when he was brought up his first full year?

He hit .182/.544 for the first 20 games. He wasn't hurt then. If he is hurt and its hurting his team for him to play, he should sit until he is well. Also, he could easily make the partial muscle tear a complete tear on one swing. Thats surgery time; lost for the year.

[BornToRun]

Yeah. Stanton just bent him over a table and penn state showered his ass.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Greg Dobbs should not be 2-3 with 2 RBI. The guy has one foot in the grave.

I'm about 120% sure that if he could tear his adductor muscle on one swing of the bat, then the Red Sox would not let him play. I know you think they're idiots but they're not that stupid.

 

And besides, you're looking at his first season in the MLB. He was what, 23?

Exactly what I've been thinking.

[BornToRun]

Come on miller.
