4/14 vs Tampa Bay

[BornToRun]

Could've been two.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Same ball Iggy turned in Tor.

[MANNYHOF24]

Buchholz has lost something in the 6th

[BornToRun]

This could go real bad, real fast if we let longo up with 2 on.

[Quinny]

I hope clay gives up a hit, I don't want them to mess around with a super high pitch count this early in the season

 

Very true. With almost 80 pitches already, his pitch count would be over 120 by the 9th. Even with his dominant stuff, Clay still likes to pitch around the strike zone. Throw strikes your up 4 runs!

[BornToRun]

Keep it down, Clay. 1 swing and this game goes from awesome to oh s*** in about a second.

[RedSoxNC84]

Holy s*** this is an awesome sight to come home to.

[SoxFanForsyth]

If there's one thing Buch is good at, it's getting DP balls.

[BornToRun]

Give him the change.

[Palodios]

This umpire has cost Buchholz a considerable number of pitches with his strike zone. Sure, its definitely helped the Sox today, but he's literally cut 6 inches off the top of the strike zone for both teams.

[jung]

Not even close to a strike but I have to say this ump has helped us more than he has hurt. He does blow though.

[RedSoxNC84]

Well I thought he would K but an out is an out.

He is also had wide corners, so it's probably a wash

[BornToRun]

Quick out would be nice here.

[BornToRun]

That change just ain't fair.

Super wide.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Good s*** Clay!! Give him one more inning and have the bp handle the rest.

[Palodios]

Its really funny how Don keeps emphasizing how many walks Buchholz has given up

[RedSoxNC84]

God damnit I'm so glad I drafted CB on all my teams.

[Palodios]

Good s*** Clay!! Give him one more inning and have the bp handle the rest.

 

The question is, do you go for a team *ahem*, or do you just try to save the pen?

[jung]

I would be kinda' surprised if the Rays have enough innings left with their lineup to come back in this one. This last inning may have been their last real shot.

[CaliSoxFan04]

Keep it going Clay!! Damn he's amazing

[jung]

Don might be doing it to distinguish the no hit potential from the no-no potential or perfect game for that matter.

[BornToRun]

So, how far into the 100's do we let him go?

[Palodios]

Right, but that's why its humorous.

[jung]

105...maybe 110 max. Hopefully somebody gets a hit first. Not sure I even want to see him going 105 this early.

[TylerD]

Clay really must have ate his spinach before today. The man is beautiful. I wasn't worried to much about our pitching, but didnt think it woul be out ultimate weapon so far lol.

[Palodios]

He threw 113 last time out. I don't see any reason not to let him go 120, but any higher would be dangerous with his health concerns.

What was Lester at? I wanna say around 130.

[RedSoxNC84]

Haha Middlebrooks....
