5/6 vs. the Twinkies

[crazydiamond]

At least he got out of there in a great manner, let's go Clay!

[RedSoxNC84]

Brutal start, but way to limit the damage there. Let's see some bats next half

[VA Sox Fan]

I think he's finding his groove.

 

Thank goodness! That could have gotten REAL ugly!!

 

Offense, please, thank you! :thumbsup:

[RedSoxNC84]

They'll hit huge bombs off this Phillies reject.

[VA Sox Fan]

Alright Jacoby, no grounding out to 1st or 2nd!

Alright Jacoby, no grounding out to 1st or 2nd!

 

Nevermind.....<_>

[wyo-sox]

Has Buch pitched to Salty this season, or has it been Ross mostly??

 

Funny I was just looking that up.

 

Salty 23.2 innings 1.14 era

Ross 21 innings. .86 era

A bunch of these Twins players I watched in New Britain when I did stats for Rockcats games.

[crazydiamond]

Damn it.

[TylerD]

Offense has been somewhat frustrating to watch lately.

[TylerD]

Alright Jacoby, no grounding out to 1st or 2nd!

 

Lol did you jinx him, or is he just sucking. Well never know now.

[Station 13]

How many of those weak groundballs Ellsbury hit this season? He hasn't hit a rope down his pullside in forever. Boras gotta be panicking.

[wyo-sox]

That's the Clay we need!

[wyo-sox]

Hits hits hits! Let's go.

[crazydiamond]

groundouts are your pitch count's friend.

 

time for offense to explode.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Agree, can't remember the last time Buch squared one up.

[SeanJohn93]

cmon sox score some runs here

[VA Sox Fan]

No, he's been doing it all season unfortunately.

[italstallianion]

I always thought Crawford was guilty of the weak groundball to the left side more than anyone.

[wyo-sox]

Ok these bats a bit depressing recently.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Cy Worley

[SeanJohn93]

close to a strike there

[wyo-sox]

Stupid human element

[wyo-sox]

Listening to MN commentators. Went out of his way to state he did not think Clay has been cheating. Classy.

[Station 13]

No, he's been doing it all season unfortunately.

 

Costing himself in FA.

[Bellhorn04]

Need runs desperately, especially with Clay's pitch count threatening to limit him to 6 innings.

[TylerD]

No, he's been doing it all season unfortunately.

 

He still looks just a big awkward at batting. I wouldn't be surprised if he was injured or still injured and just not making it public. Sounds like a sorry excuse, but I really wouldn't be surprise.

[RedSoxNC84]

Another ellsbury groundout.

[Bellhorn04]

Stephen Drew seems to take even more called third strikes than his brother did.

Starting pitchers often have rough first innings. it happens. In fact it happens a good deal. If Buch falters again then maybe this is a rough outing for him. I would not take much from a SP having a rough first inning.

 

as for Felix, I think all of us that are not really thrilled about him are reading from the same notebook. He is not the kind of guy that can lose that much off his FB and get away with it for very long. He came into camp out of shape and has been pitching on a wing and a prayer since the season started. Well I guess he is not praying hard enough because it has started catching up to him.

 

What do we want to do, wait till he really struggles costing us some games before doing something when he clearly has lost so much off his FB?

 

Send him down for all I care. My view of it is that eventually he will be gone cause zebra's don't change their stripes. Get me once and it is on you, get me twice and it is on me. This is the second time Felix has come in out of shape in his career and this time it happened when the organization was depending on him to step up now he is not able to perform as expected. So I am fine with sending him down. However I think he will eventually just be gone cause now this is a track record going the wrong way.
