4/24 vs Oakland Beards

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

True.

[Jasonbay44]

Yeah other than that HR against Price which helped us win the game, he has been totally useless. The bottom 4 of the lineup (Middlebrooks/Gomes/Drew/Ross) are all hitting below .200. (Ciriaco is as well)

 

Gomes has least been getting on base and Drew has been looking better lately.. WMB still looks terrible though and Ross is a backup catcher, so I wasn't expecting much at all anyway.

With 95 pitches I'm not sure about putting Lester out for the 6th, but the way our bullpen has been taxed I think you almost have to. Especially since the scoring had been all in one inning and Lester has gone over 100 pitches his fair share of times.

Risky but I agree.

[Jasonbay44]

Lester has to at least start the 6th IMO

If Drew didn't just hit that triple would you still say that he's looking better lately?

 

I just wish they all didn't suck at the same time. Our pitching for the most part has been great all season so we've single handedly lost a few games because we couldn't score any runs, and having them all suck (plus the general lack of power imo) has a lot to do with it. I could only imagine what our record would be if our starting or our bullpen weren't as good as they were.

And I totally forgot about JBJ struggles too. Add him to the list.

Well I honestly didn't see yesterday's game, but on Monday Drew hit the ball well a few times, and although he was only 1-3 he made solid contact. At least he is showing something. Unlike WMB who hit that one homer then went back to making 1 pitch outs and striking out.

 

At least with them sucking at the same time, maybe they'll all get hot at the same time.

Once in a while, Gomes may not hit a HR for even 3 weeks! Especially if he's used as a part time player! Amazing!

 

31 AB's = season over, amirite?

 

:lol: You crack me up mvp!

 

I like Gomes. He's a good clubhouse guy, a little crazy and has .381 OBP. He plays like he really cares and loves the game.

 

Another steal for Jacoby, fyi Soxsport

 

Atta a boy SHANE!!!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Vic!

[italstallianion]

There we go!!!

[wyo-sox]

Lester may get a win out of this.

[Jasonbay44]

Victorino is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

[jung]

Sox come back....glad they did it while Lester could still be involved in the decision.

[wyo-sox]

Man I wish I copied all the negative Victo signing posts in the off season.

[Station 13]

Pedroia time to hit one out

[wyo-sox]

Been good to see the team battle back into this.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice Pedey! Nice play by Donaldson though.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lucky he banged that ball

[Jasonbay44]

Will definitely take that. Lets go Papi!

[Station 13]

Bailey look kinda like Curt Young, just younger.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Pedroia time to hit one out

 

Our 1-3 hitters haven't hit one yet, have they?

[italstallianion]

I think we need to score as many runs as we can before the bottom of our order comes up. You can never have too many runs vs. Oakland.

 

Who'd have thought after the decades of horrible offense that Oakland would be a good run scoring team?

[Station 13]

C'mon Papi, just put the ball in play.

[jung]

I suspect Ortiz is Anserson's last batter

[wyo-sox]

He's going to try for a homer... he's not going to risk sprinting between bases again.

[crazydiamond]

a walk for Papi, grand slam by Napoli? let's do this

[Station 13]

Ells did.

Have you been watching the games at all? Drew's been hitting rockets right at people for days, including at least three moonshots caught right in the warning track.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Keep the hits coming!
