5/17 @ Target Field

[Station 13]

I thought only Ciriaco make stupid decision by throwing it instead of holding on.

[mvp 78]

Papi doing work.

[italstallianion]

Who else but Big Papi there. 1-0 Sox.

[jung]

f***ing amazing...Ortiz got one decent pitch to hit and one really in his wheelhouse (Whorley you dunce) and David makes him pay....crazy ridiculous.

[mvp 78]

The girl he cheated on his wife with must have been really ugly then.

 

It's called a slumpbuster. Guess it worked!

[mvp 78]

Damn Pedey!

[jung]

So far this year, Buch is the only starter we have that comes out dominant from the first pitch. I think he had one semi-shaky first inning and that has been about it.

[jung]

This is what bothers me about leaving guys cemented to the bench. Carp has not done more than get an occasional at bat since I don't know when...in the mean time...Ells could not hit with a boat oar and Naps has clearly tired and needs some rest and Gomes had not done much. What the hell is Carp supposed to do with an AB about once every two weeks or so.

[italstallianion]

Worley at 49 pitches after 2 innings, amazingly just one walk issued that being to Carp. The Sox lineup has been really disciplined thus far and fouling off a lot of pitches. We should hopefully see the Min bullpen soon.

Does Carp play CF?

[Thunder]

Clay is looking strong tonight!!!! Don't expect a hit until the 6th or later.

[jung]

!st base, LF and RF. Could have easily shuffled the line up to get him a couple at bats. Nava has not even seen much time while Ells has gone to hell and Naps has simply gone too long. Gomes gets just about all the time Farrell can throw at him and really has not done much with it.

[italstallianion]

Buch is definitely letting the K shine.

[RedSoxNC84]

5 straight Ks... good lord.

[jung]

Part of the secret to Buchs success is not only the variety of pitches and his command of them and his location but his arm angle never changes. No telling what is coming. Can make guys look totally stupid.

[jung]

Not a ground out from Ells...I'm excited!

[italstallianion]

Wohooo!!! Ellsbury got the ball in the air!!!

[jung]

I wonder if Nava looks like he is 3'6" to Worley. Uncanny

[jung]

Pedey pissed at himself there. Nothing he could have done with the 1st AB but that one was kinda' pukey.

If you sit Ells, who plays CF with Vic out?

[jung]

I would not have sat Ells today. As I have stated yesterday and the day before and the day before that, I would have dropped him in the order.....dayyyyyyssss ago.

[RedSoxNC84]

Couldn't just strike them all out, could you buch?

[Station 13]

f***.

[italstallianion]

God damn it. The 9 hitter SS just made it 2-1 Twins. Gah.

[jung]

Well lets not get too crazy here Jerry Remo. Two inches more of plate and that would have been a good pitch from Buch for the LH hitter. That was a hell of a piece of hitting to jerk that thing out....from the guy batting 9 no less.

 

One of the things that amazes you about ML pitchers is a recognition of how good ML hitters really are. Ask Mr Webster.

[Thunder]

Back to deficits vs the Twins... What's new?

[Station 13]

Damn, almost Willy.

[User Name]

Worley hung that one

[jung]

Jeez has anybody been to that park? Where do they have that statue of Puckett buried. It looks like he is riding the statue pine way out there in some back alley.

[Station 13]

This futile offense doesn't need well hit ball to be caught. f*** you BABIP.
