4/15 vs Tampa Bay

[kapsis21]

I was actually kinda of excited when they signed overbay I thought he would have been a decent backup

 

I agree Overbay would have performed better for us compared to spring training..

[User Name]

yeah but he has not gotten a single RBI that sucks man.. he is just wild swinging as hard as he can.. atleast thts what it looks like to me.. :dunno:

 

Swinging wildly? Dude's got 5 BB and 5 K. (entering today's game)

[kapsis21]

understood he has gotten walks but he has a all or nothing swing..

[crazydiamond]

It's obvious our batting order needs Iglesias, the opening week was a laser show with him in the lineup.

[a700hitter]

Get Dempster out of there. Don't let him pitch to Longo.

[iortiz]

Get Dempster out of there. Don't let him pitch to Longo.

 

agree!

 

He has done a good job thus far, but it's time to go to BP

[kapsis21]

that looked like a strike 3.. on graph

[NativeBostonian]

Bull s*** ump!!!!

[Dojji]

Nice play by Drew.

[kapsis21]

phew.....

[a700hitter]

Whew!

[Jasonbay44]

Both of those pitches looked like strikes to me.

Got him out! Dempster for president!

[iortiz]

that looked like a strike 3.. on graph

 

and another strike didn't called...

 

geez

JBJ is going to start to lose confidence if he hasn't started to already. Farrell commented that he had started to see it last week before he sat him for a game. If a hitter gets to the point where he is not hitting anything it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and he ....doesn't hit anything. They have got his number up here. Needs to go down and work it out and get this service time thing done with.

[iortiz]

whata f***ing play!

[Jasonbay44]

Wow, good play by Drew, but Longoria looked safe to me..

[NativeBostonian]

He looked safe. But, Demster had strike three twice and didn't get a call. So, it ended up working itself out.

[Dojji]

Castig thinks he was safe.

[mvp 78]

Keep a guy up: he lose confidence!

Send a guy down: he'll lose confidence!

 

I wish ballplayers weren't such fragile snowflakes.

[crazydiamond]

Yes!

 

Now bullpen, please.

[jung]

I did not say anything when I first saw it cause TV can be deceiving on plays at 1st but Longoria was way safe at 1st.

[a700hitter]

Castig thinks he was safe.

He's partial to Italians.

[iortiz]

no matter what, I just do not want see Hanrahan if this stays this close

[Jasonbay44]

That like wasn"t even close, Longoria was safe by a mile lol. When I saw it live I thought he was safe.

 

Not gonna complain though.

[jung]

At least at AAA JBJ will see stuff he can hit. Real ML pitching is much harder to hit than ST pitching. JBJ has not hit since the regular season started and is flailing at air more times than not.

[mvp 78]

@alexspeier: Dempster and Curt Schilling ('04) are the only two starters in last 15 years to open Red Sox career w/3 straight 7+ K games.

[iortiz]

and that call wasn't strike geez ump

[Jasonbay44]

Longoria is such a stud on offense and defense.

[jung]

Are we possibly going to see even worse umpiring this year than last? Plays at 1st are supposed to be judged by the sound of the ball hitting the glove combined with the umps view of the batter's foot hitting the bag. Are they deaf and blind this year?
