Yeah, but he had Gardner, hung the breaking ball, cut the ball off on a play that would have seen Romine gunned out by plenty, then threw the ball into CF. Masterson fell apart mentally there. Regardless, it is surprising to see this team start to hit good pitching

Nice AB by Gardner there. Masterson just unraveled completely

 

I'm glad the Sox traded him when they did.

You're going to bitch about me saying this, but Masterson hasn't been good today. I've been watching this game on tV and following on gameday and he's been over the middle of the plate an awful lot.

 

They certainly couldn't do anything against Buch yesterday, so saying they're "starting to hit good pitching" seems like an empty statement.

I didn't think Buch was very solid in his first few innings either. We just weren't hitting him. Lots of pitches over the middle.

Which is exactly what i'm talking about. They let him settle down and beat him. That's the opposite of hitting good pitching.

 

By the time the game was stopped, he was dealing, and Kuroda was out of gas.

Buch has so much movement on all of his pitches that he can get away with missing his spots a bit more then other pitchers.

Movement or no, pitches belt high down the middle need to be parked. We missed them. Then, he hit his spots and wasn't hittable

It went a whopping 344 feet and would have been a flineout at Fenway (or most any other park). Image is of his HR with Fenway Park overlayed.

and most homers to LF in fenway would likewise be flyouts.

This if of course completely false. The Green Monster statistically prevents more home runs than it causes.

 

Just curious, still stand by your prediction that the Red Sox will be a .500 team by the All-Star break.

Cool for him. Is he your new favorite player?

 

You know him. Who gives 1/2 a f*** what impact it has on the Sox so long as he's right?

Oh and, no matter what, when, where or how....f*** THE NYY!!!!!!

 

That is grammatically incorrect sir..
