Pedey look pissed.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Atta boy Drew!!!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Nap likes these situations

How that dirt taste? After the Heat won yesterday I'm betting against everything I like as God clearly hates me. I'm betting that the Blackhawks will win the Cup too.

 

Getting the win > Lester pitching really good

 

So I'll let you eat all the dirt.

Pitchers are not used to making that play. Notice how an infielder gets his glove and ball down ASAP. Albuquerque tried to follow Drew down and Drew just beat him to the plate.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Oh man Napoli....

 

Carp needs to get a few more starts

[RedSoxNC84]

Damn I leave for two seconds and it's 9-5... I guess I shouldn't be watching this game, they'd score more runs!

[RedSoxNC84]

Carp for starting 1B

[italstallianion]

I guess now that it's 9-5 it means we won't be putting Bailey in for the save.

[jung]

Oh Crap....not really happy about seeing extra tape on Nava's wrist. the grind of the 162 seemingly catching up to the Sox a bit here.

[jung]

Nice inning Bres....he has really pitched in during some tough spots so far this year.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I'd really like to see Miller in the 9th tonight. Got a 4 run lead and you're going to have to go up against a really tough 1-2-3, all tough RHH. Would definitely be a challenge for Miller to see how his stuff plays against the heart of a very good order, and see if he's got the makings for a closer option

[RedSoxNC84]

Craig Breslow: Still better than Matt Albers

[RedSoxNC84]

I think Ford picked a bad time to play that Jon Lester commercial haha

[RedSoxNC84]

Who is this guy talking and why does he suck? When does Remy come back?

Looks like you're getting your wish

[jung]

Drew is something of a mystery. He will go 3-3 and then toss in about three Ofers in a row.

 

Nice knock again by Iggy. He still gets his infield hits but he also drives the ball to the outfield much more often than we have ever seen before.

[SoxFanForsyth]

The situation is a bit different (low leverage) but the competition is as good as it'll get for Miller here

[SeanJohn93]

Center fielder for Detroit messed up there haha

[SeanJohn93]

Bigger surprise so far, Nava, Iglesias, or Carp?

[mvp 78]

Bradford, I'm more happy about Jerry than you. Now go away.

[mvp 78]

Bigger surprise so far, Nava, Iglesias, or Carp?

 

Iggy.

[italstallianion]

Iglesias imo

[jung]

Center fielder for Detroit messed up there haha

 

Messed up! I am not sure I have ever seen a ML outfielder backing up on a ball that was already bounding around in the outfield to the point where the ball played him....that one is a first for me.

[RedSoxNC84]

Bigger surprise so far, Nava, Iglesias, or Carp?

 

Damn that's a hard one..

 

I'd have to say a toss up between Iglesias and Carp for me.. We all thought Iglesias couldn't hit.. Now I don't think he can keep up his current pace, but damn.

[Station 13]

Miggy is unfair. Can hit anything, anywhere.

[iortiz]

Cabrera is simply unstoppable. Thanks God we have a 5 R lead.

[jung]

Carp for me. Once I saw Iggy's more compact swing I really thought he would at least hit good enough to be here. I don't think he will continue to string together such an eclectic combination of hits and he still needs to be a bit more selective but the compact swing has made all the dif in the world.

 

I really did not expect anything from Carp.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Damn that's a hard one..

 

I'd have to say a toss up between Iglesias and Carp for me.. We all thought Iglesias couldn't hit.. Now I don't think he can keep up his current pace, but damn.

 

Yeah Iglesias for me too. Nava had these stretches before and has always been a solid OBP guy.

 

Carp was smothered in Seattle but still had a good power year a couple years ago. Not this good but still a 25-30 HR year at the age of 25, all in the AL West and home games at Safeco, so while his power is surprising, it's not crazzy.

 

Iglesias is certainly benefiting from some crazy BABIP numbers but he's making contact in almost 88% of his swings. That's as much as Pedroia. It's almost as if his unreal eye to hand coordination is finally transitioning into his hitting skills as well

[SoxFanForsyth]

I'm really excited to see Webby tomorrow. Hope that kid throws 7 scoreless
