Cole De Vries(2-2 3.98 ERA) vs Clay Buccholz(9-3 4.75 ERA)

 

We're beating the Twins tonight because I f***ing said so. Win.

[Thunder]

Little early there. Keep in mind that the last win streak came from my mojo. We have a good shot tonight though.

Nobody on here has good mojo this year. If we did, the team would be better than .500.

not like we need a f***ing win Valentine....nice s***** lineup

[a700hitter]

King Felix shut out the Yankees today 1-0. We have no one that can do that. If we score less than 5 runs, we lose about 85% of those games.

Wish we had a better idea when Ortiz is coming back. Not sure it really matters at this point. We really really needed these first two against the twins so badly. As it is now, not only are we not going to sweep them but they are in position to sweep us! We have played so badly against these going nowhere teams.

The good lineup wasn't working. At this point, it doesn't matter.

[jung]

Whenever we go on one of our now all to frequent losing streaks, V seems compelled to toss in one of his hunch lineups and we get Punto somewhere.....why in Gods name you would put Punto in the lineup on purpose is beyond me.

[Station 13]

The Twins has a higher OBP than the Red Sox.

 

Yep, our team sucks at everything.

You can chalk that up to the front office changing their tune on priorities. Bringing in guys that don't walk or get on base.

 

Why is Punto starting instead of Ciriaco? Aviles at 3B? The answer is winning is not their priority.

The pitching sucks, and all they do is change the pitching coaches. Lucchino and the front office need a reality check.

 

If I were Henry, I'd hire a consulting firm--have them come in and clean house. If he doesn't do this, he should sell the team.

Actually, it's the pitching that isn't working. You can't score 5 runs every game. Plus they don't play for one or two runs.

[Bellhorn04]

It gets better...Ellsbury is scratched and Kalish is in his place, leading off.

[SemperFi Sox]

Ellsbury is out with a leg injury. the kid is made of f***ing glass, he better be gone this offseason.

[Thunder]

I'm 2-0, then left and my replacement went 2-1. .800 winning percentage.

[jung]

Well here we go again....more fun and games at Fenway.

I had good s*** mojo, 2 from 2, and one time I returned as Pedroia hit a huge homer. I'm not sure if I've eaten enough today though.

[TutGadol]

What a great changeup. Had good velocity, movement and location.

[jung]

Buch has had such good command of a number of his pitches....

[jung]

What is up with this ump crew? Missing by a little is one thing...these guys are inches off to half a foot off

[TutGadol]

What is up with Crawford? He's becoming a power hitter.

[jung]

Agons would love to have that pitch back. If this guy is going to keep pitching like this to the LH hitters he should get cut to pieces.

[Thunder]

Crawford's getting hot...

[Thunder]

What is up with Crawford? He's becoming a power hitter.

 

Did you see his playing days with the Rays?

[jung]

Well one run is nice but this guy was throwing hangers up there the whole inning and we really did not get many of them.

[Station 13]

More bad baseball from the Red Sox. Couldn't advance a free run at 2nd with 2 productive out.

[SemperFi Sox]

bad news bears

[SemperFi Sox]

1 SB in the past 5 seasons. Nice of you to prepare for this start Clay, maybe something you should have f***ing known.

[jung]

We got some good pitches to work with as well....look at what these guys are doing....the twins for Gods sake....taking the high outer half pitch the other way....pitches up in the zone are good pitches to hit as long as you don't try to do to much with them. One of our knuckleheads would have been trying to pull the damn thing.

[TutGadol]

Some Aprilviles for you.
