5/29 @ Philly

[MJantomaso]

Jonny Gomes would love hitting in this ballpark.

 

Jonny Gomes would love to actually hit a ball for once.

[SoxSport]

Tuned in just long enough to see Carp try to pull a low outside pitch and hit a dp grounder to 2B.

 

Bradley is the hot hitter. They bring him up and sit him on the bench. Go figure.

 

I would put Papi at 1B. He's probably about as good right now defensively as Napoli. Don't underestimate the guy. He was a first baseman in his non DH days.

[SoxSport]

Off the bat, I thought Salty hit that deeper.

 

Salty is improving as a hitter--more selective at the plate. Learning the strike zone.

[Station 13]

Was that Delmon Young stealing a base?

[Youk Of The Nation]

You ever see those high school football games where they let the kid with Down Syndrome score a touchdown? Sort of the same principle here.

We watching the same game? I saw him hit it back to the pitcher.

Young was substituted by a guy who can actually run though.

[Monstah_Mash]

Lackey looks like Gomer Pile after the obstacle course, he needs to sit down for the night.

[MJantomaso]

Young was substituted by a guy who can actually run though.

 

So it's like letting the kid with Down syndrome take the huddle but then calling him back and sitting him back on the bench.

[italstallianion]

I can't believe Ortiz has stolen 3rd base twice on the year.

No, that's what the Sox did to Bradley.

[Thunder]

He's so slow they can't see him.

[SoxFanForsyth]

That was 98 pitches for Lack. With him due up this inning I'd say that's it for him.

 

Probably Gomes is first off the bench I would guess.

No. JBJ so Farrell doesn't have to stick him in the field.

I would think Ortiz if anyone gets on.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Iglesias is swinging the bat with so much more authority its insane.

[Station 13]

Hit a HR Gomes.

[User Name]

And Iglesias keeps hitting

nailed it.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Hit a HR Gomes.

 

If ever anyone was due...

[Standing Room]

Yeah, I disagree with this call. Ortiz should be hitting.

[SoxFanForsyth]

No way. Keep Ortiz to the 8th or 9th IMO.

[Monstah_Mash]

great AB by Gomes

[User Name]

Taking one for the team there.

[MJantomaso]

Thank god.

[Standing Room]

No way. Keep Ortiz to the 8th or 9th IMO.

 

Chances are, a guy one second base with one out is going to be the best pinch hitting opportunity he's going to get tonight. Doesn't matter now though, Gomes got hit by the pitch.

[MJantomaso]

Yes they should have pinch hit so Ortiz can face a lefty. You guys know too much baseball...

In all fairness, Ortiz has certainly hit LHP better than Gomes. Everyone has.

Not.A.Strike.

 

f***.You.Ump.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow Ells got hosed there. Should be juiced with 1 out.
