6/28 Franklin Morales and King of TalkSox Mojo vs. King Felix and the Mariners

[SoxFanForsyth]

Morales's curveball is filthy.

[TutGadol]

These are the games where guys like Ellsbury and Crawford are huge. Speed guys who can bunt' date=' beat out an infield chopper, or take a walk, and then get themselves into scoring position.[/quote']

 

s*** I'd even take Pods here.

[SoxFanForsyth]

s*** I'd even take Pods here.

 

Well yeah but everyone is always talking about how the replacement guys have played so well and Ells and Crawford won't have much of an impact on the team.

 

These are the games where you can really tell a difference.

[TutGadol]

Nice play!

[Brown28]

Nice play Aviles

[SoxFanForsyth]

That's a nice play Aviles!

[Palodios]

Well yeah but everyone is always talking about how the replacement guys have played so well and Ells and Crawford won't have much of an impact on the team.

In all fairness, do you think Beckett or Buccholz could be doing better than Morales tonight?

When they both come back Daiskue will be out of here. Unless something unusual happens to Franklin.

[SoxFanForsyth]

No not at all. I was talking specifically about Ellsbury and Crawford.

[NativeBostonian]

Someone has to score eventually.

[a700hitter]

In all fairness' date=' do you think Beckett or Buccholz could be doing better than Morales tonight?[/quote']No, this guy has been outstanding since they have been starting using him in these long roles. With every inning from this guy, I get more and more encouraged.

[TutGadol]

Good job. I don't mind him challenging this offence with high heaters. He has good velocity and great movement for his 4 sm especially high in the zone.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Yeah, just to be clear. I am thrilled with Morales. It's the speed guys who make a difference in games like this, and the reason they'll be able to impact the team when they return.

 

This team struggles to hit good pitching. Adding a couple of veteran bats with a lot of speed helps the offense in low scoring games tremendously.

[TutGadol]

Does he have another inning in him?

[Palodios]

No not at all. I was talking specifically about Ellsbury and Crawford.

 

I know, but replacement players are a bit of a big deal for the Red Sox this year.

[NativeBostonian]

Morales should have started as a starter over Daniel Bard. Some people have what it takes to be a starter and others don't.

[Palodios]

Just a one-run homer. That's all it is going to take tonight.

[Brown28]

Hernandez looks like he could go another 7. Doesn't look tired at all.

[SemperFi Sox]

This lineup rakes together and sucks together.

[Station 13]

Hit the ball other way Will.

[SoxFanForsyth]

From what I understand, and I'm not sure if it was in ST, or early in the year, or in June, but apparently BobbyV went into Cherringtons office and basically was pounding the desk with a fist saying "This guy (Morales) needs to start!!!"

 

Say what you will about BobbyV, he's extremely talented at evaluating talent and getting the most out of his players.

[Station 13]

Hernandez looks like he could go another 7. Doesn't look tired at all.

 

Ump is giving him half a foot outside.

[SemperFi Sox]

guy on 2nd!!!

[Brown28]

Here's our chance

[SoxFanForsyth]

Alright base knock here WMB!

[TutGadol]

Score.

[SemperFi Sox]

trade WMB start Punto

[SoxFanForsyth]

Middlebrooks is overmatched tonight.

[Brown28]

Christ on his throne that was nasty

[Station 13]

Damnit, go Ross
