4/16 at Cleveland

[BornToRun]

Do no let him pitch to Reynolds.

[a700hitter]

whew!

[BornToRun]

That was a low 80's change, up over the middle of the plate.

 

We're lucky that didn't just get launched.

[wyo-sox]

Steady there Dustin.

[Station 13]

f*** off Doubront. It's been like this since last season, always get a huge lead but throw 100+ pitches in 5 inning.

[Palodios]

In years past, that popup would have either

 

A) Fallen directly in between players.

B ) Caused a collision between players resulting in season ending surgery for one of them.

[BornToRun]

When do they expect Lackey to be back?

 

I'm sure it'll be soon enough that we don't have to have Aceves taking the mound as a starter become a regular occurrence. That just wouldn't be fair.

[italstallianion]

When do they expect Lackey to be back?

 

 

From his arm injury or from when I take him out behind the shed?

[jung]

Felix looking to lose his job since ST and may just do it at this rate.

C) Clanked off a bird for a ground-rule double

D) Been caught, but then overruled on catcher's interference

E) All of the above

So true! :lol:

I guess Dounront extended slowness is causing mlb.com to hang up.

So I'm not the only one

[wyo-sox]

Knock on wood.....my mlb.tv working fine.

[Palodios]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but Nava has looked very good in the outfield today.

mlb.com is not updating since the 5th inning.

[CX360]

How many walks tonight for both teams? 706?

[jung]

Remy pumping Nava's tires...preparing us for the JBJ swan song.

It really has me wondering about the questions people were posing upthread about the mound. I can't actually watch the game, but 12 walks (and counting) does seem a bit excessive.

[Palodios]

Rich Hill is with Cleveland? Wish the Red Sox never let him go... It isn't like they exactly have a reliable lefty right now.

[jung]

Usually opposing pitchers fight to landscape the mound. One guy comes out..landscapes to his liking...next guy comes out and landscapes it to his liking. They have all been falling off awkwardly after releasing the ball at times. Could be slick out there with the rain. Seems odd when none of them can get comfortable.

[wyo-sox]

Dang Will needs to start getting on base.

[VA Sox Fan]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but Nava has looked very good in the outfield today.

 

You're not. He's been pretty awesome and reliable. So psyched for him and the team! Too bad others dismissed him prior to the season. Yes, yes...it's early, I know.

[Palodios]

Its a shame it isn't raining a little bit.. this just seems like a good game to call it in the seventh. Neither team really wants to burn 3 more innings of relief pitchers, and most of the fans left early after the 7-0 lead.

You're more than welcome to stop beating it.

That sounds about right!

[jung]

IMO Nava has been the best LFer on this team and was at the start of the season. Vic might be a better LF but we will not know since he has to play RF. Had contended as much before opening day.

 

Does not mean that Nava is the end all be all of LFer's but he is the best LFer on this team.

[a700hitter]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but Nava has looked very good in the outfield today.

He is much improved in the OF, but his value is getting on base. Others field, run and throw better than him. Tonight, he is wearing the golden sombrero.

[wyo-sox]

Get more pressure on. Score a couple more runs.

[Palodios]

I am scared though, of what will happen when the Red Sox have to start using Gomes in LF.
