5/25 vs Cleveland

[italstallianion]

Gah should have taken Lester out when the runner got to 3rd, or not let him start the next inning when he was already at over 100 pitches. That could cost us the game right there.

Because hitting and pitching are repetition and muscle-memory based. Once you create a habit through repetition, it's very difficult to break free from it (although it varies from player to player). Managers see this and try to correct it along with the pertinent coach(es), but it's ultimately up to the player to make adjustments.

 

In part this is why I thought it would be more than just a little bit before Ells can get on track. He did not get here overnight and he is not going to be all the way back overnight either.

 

I should have chimed in earlier if for no other reason than to suggest that Standing Room is "not" seeing things. Ells has been doing this now for at least the last couple weeks. I put up a post very similar to Standing Room's a couple weeks ago in a game where it was virtually every at bat. That is not to say you are categorically wrong SFF but neither is Standing Room. Ells looks something like a guy that thinks he is carting an aluminum bat to the plate as guys that get used to swinging the old style, forgiving aluminum bat can often fall into the same habit.

Lester did his best, now the team need to bail him out.

[italstallianion]

Especially when Lackey got us 7 innings so only Uehara and Aceves were used.

[TutGadol]

What is Don talking about? Was he ever fat?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Oh good, losing by 1 from a wild pitch last inning and Fenway is doing the wave. Awesome.

 

I wish the fans there cared about the game rather than just going for a stupid social event. Pisses me off.

[italstallianion]

At least we have our star hitters coming up to bat next inning.

[Station 13]

I don't get why Nava doesn't flip with Pedroia in the order. Move Pedroia back to hitting 2nd. It gives Ortiz two high OBP players ahead of him.

How did the Guardians got Santana? Seems to be a very good player. He was in the Dodgers system.

Nava doesn't have the same abilities when facing a lefty starter (batting right handed) that he does otherwise.

 

That's why Gomes was 2nd instead.

In 2008 he was traded with John Meloan for Casey Blake.

Dodgers destroyed that system eh? Thanks for taking on our worst contacts and giving us prospects.

[Thunder]

Iggy needs to lead the charge in the 8th.

[Thunder]

Ciriaco has 3 hits now too!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Shame that its a lefty up or I would consider running here
