5/25 vs Cleveland

[jung]

Guardians deciding to challenge Gomes defensive abilities. Hopefully scouts will take notice and not send guys on a play like that. They sure as hell would have taken notice if Gomes had not been able to make that play.

[Standing Room]

What a shitfest.

Man, Lester need more than a cutter to face a lineup relentless like Cleveland.

Jesus Lester is sucking major ass

Lester still tends to go cutter crazy at times like this. I really hoped he had turned the corner on that one as it is really a flaw.

7 errors by Ciriaco this year. That is pretty bad. He was much better last season.

He has poor fastball command today. Nothing from the changeup and curve. Lineup that take pitches gives him a hard time because his secondaries been pretty non existent this year.

Pedey is so good with two strikes. One of the few guys left that you could almost say that "he has the pitcher right where he wants him". Just terrific bat control, plate sense and discipline. I still believe when he is all said and done he will have out-Jetered Jeter by miles as he will move the ball around from foul pole to foul pole just as much as Jeter but will generate many more extra base hits along the way.

Buchholz is starting to emerge as our ace. Lester is much more consistent than last season, but Buchholz has been our best.

Kaz got Papi on the slider. That used to be his signature pitch.

Clay has 4-5 pitches he can command. Lester command is on and off on just 2 pitches. He rarely has 3 working during game.

[Station 13]

Mike Napoli is cold again. Streaky as they come.

[jung]

Lester has been given every opportunity to be the man here. Could not pass Beckett by and I do believe Buch is/has passed Jon by.

[MJantomaso]

Lester is living in the middle of the plate. No bueno..

Lackey's pitching better than Lester too. If the current trends keep, Lester will be this rotation's #3. However, this is likely just a rough patch for Lester. Buch WILL run into one eventually.

Lester tends to pitch better as the year goes on if I recall correctly.

Actually, it's the opposite.

[Thunder]

All these walks, but only 1 run

[italstallianion]

I just can't believe that of the teams 3 hits, two of them belong to Ciriaco and Iglesias.

Red Sox regulars can't hit in the rain.

Did you not watch the game yesterday?

Either that or a team with mostly RHH can't LHP.

[Station 13]

Does Gomes or Napoli even hit lefties? Seems struggle so much as a whole team.

My point is proven. Iggy is on fire!

[MJantomaso]

Iglesias rakes

[italstallianion]

Who'd think that we'd be shouting Iglesias name when we weren't yelling at him? Right back in this thanks to the Iglesias extra base hit.

[User Name]

So Iglesias can't hit a beach ball with a light pole in the minors, but he keeps raking (SSS) in the Majors? dafuq?

Good thing it's almost June then.

[Thunder]

Okay, Ciriaco just missed one. Runner on third two outs for Jacoby. Don't like the chances.
