Lackey vs Ogando

Not a good spot for Lackey, IMO. If I'm laying any cash, I'm probably taking Texas, but my fandom will probably make me take the Red Sox at 7:59 PM.

If we avoid the sweep I'm happy. Texas can have the other game, let's just get one and get the hell out of there.

5-4 Sox on a nailbiter.

Here is the list of the opponents Ogando has faced so far this year:

 

@Minn

@LAA

@ChC

@Sea

vs Tampa

@Hou

 

Those are some of the worst offenses and best parks to pitch against in baseball. Ogando has a rude awakening coming today.

I remember litting Ogando up 2 year ago late in the season with a few bombs off the bat off Adrian and Ellsbury.

[Spudboy]

Lackey will come through with another solid effort. Last night the Sox were out pitched by very much. That will not happen today. 8-5 Sox. User is correct.

The park in Arlington has that wind current going out to right. With the short porch, lot of HR's, especially on hot nights. Big night for Ortiz, Nava and Carp if they play, and Salty.

In 12 1/3 innings against Boston (1 start) Ogando is 1-2 with a 5.11 ERA. (Although only a .97 WHIP and .178 BAA)

 

That said, in 195 2/3 innings against Texas (36 starts) Lackey is 12-14 with a 6.16 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and .295 BAA

Is a laser show going to be on display tonight?

Sporting the Sox gear in St Lucia tonight. Sitting on our patio in our room, sipping on a Piton beer, and finally enjoying life after busy season.

 

If anyone ever goes to St Lucia, check out Ladera Resort. Guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.

Kinsler and Murphy have hit him well, but that's it really on the squad now.

 

Nap had a 1.056 OPS against him, and Hamilton destroyed him to a 444/515/926 line.

 

I think Lackey throws well tonight. 6 IP, 2 ER or 7 IP, 3 ER would be my guess.

Sounds awesome! Enjoy! :thumbsup:

I think Lackey will go out there with the confidence of having had a good start last time out. Lackey is if nothing else a warrior that hardly needs more juice when he heads to the mound. Looking forward to seeing how he does tonight and looking forward to the showdown tomorrow.

[italstallianion]

I feel like Lackey will either be really good or really bad tonight. I can't see a middle ground.

[jung]

Well I did not see it but we must have gone down pretty easy in the top of the 1st. Kinsler sends the first thing he sees into the stands. Yuk

[VA Sox Fan]

One hiccup by Lackey. Did fine otherwise.

 

Offense, please!

[VA Sox Fan]

PAPI!!

[TylerD]

So close to a homer!! Lets go Napoli!

[TylerD]

Tie game baby!!!!!

[crazydiamond]

Big Papi!

Nava on fire again.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nava continues to rake!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lol such massive energy in this game thread! Lmao

[italstallianion]

Yay! We're not getting shut out this time!!!

[jung]

Hope the heck that was not a limp as Ortiz got to about half way between 3rd and Home.

[jung]

Good AB WMB

[TylerD]

Lackey my man! Perfect inning.

[jung]

Good job Ells...actually it looks to me like both Ells and Vic are just trying to make sure they get on base anyway they can. Not really trying to stroke the ball for power.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice patience Vic.

[jung]

I don't know how many folks saw last night's game...did anybody see that $26.00 cheese burger?
