7/7 @ Hell's Angels

[Thunder]

Beautiful day in El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles Porciuncula.

 

Google that^

[Thunder]

What the Shuck was that? I'll take it. Good start.

[jung]

Another bad play by Shuck. We better take advantage of this s*** tonight. Still mighty frustrated from last night.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Ortiz got hosed horribly

[jung]

Another swish of the bat by Naps and another K

[Jasonbay44]

Shocking, Napoli strikes out again.

 

Runner on 3rd, nobody out and we don't score... Awesome.

[Station 13]

Huge squander.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Sure hope Ortiz just told Lackey that he's getting two feet into the right handed batters box. Disgusting call by the ump just destroyed the Sox chances there.

[SoxFanForsyth]

 

Yeah pitch 3 is close ump.

[jung]

They have to do something about Naps. He destroys more rallies than any ump ever thought of destroying.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Napoli needs to be hitting about 8th. Stick Carp in the 5 hole. Napoli is just atrocious right now.

 

I know he will probably go on a tear in August and Sept but right now he's as bad as they come

[jung]

Damn...Shuck sucks again and we still come out of the first inning down 1-0. Not sure how you can lose when you can hit the ball to either corner outfielder and stand a good chance of watching the ball roll around in the outfield endlessly. But we managed to do it.

 

Naps could improve if he gets some scheduled rest. But the idea that the guy is going to go from averaging about 100 games per year every year to something like 130-140 games and rip it up in the dog days is just ludicrous.

This umpire is ridiculous!!!

[Thunder]

Lavarnway's playing even though Salty's hot. If this was a day game, I would understand.

[Palodios]

Lavarnway with a 7 game hitting streak in the majors.

[Palodios]

5 outs, 41 pitches against a premier pitcher. I said this yesterday, but this offense must obliterate bullpens for days after the Sox leave town.

[Jasonbay44]

At least Weavers pitch count is getting pretty high.

[Station 13]

Lavarnway runs in slow motion.

[jung]

Salty went the whole way last night if I am not mistaken and is catching a ton at this point. So I can definitely see Lavs catching today. Plus they traveled and played with no break right into the 1st game of the series followed by the extras game with Salty catching the last game in Boston and the first two games in Anaheim with a six hour flight in between. I do expect Salty available for late inning PH duty. But I am just as happy to see him get a day off from battery duties. I do expect Salty to play a bunch of games on this road trip with all the right handed pitchers stacked up.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice play by Holt

[jung]

Boy this is another terrifyingly bad ump crew to go along with Crew I and any crew that West is on.

[Palodios]

Lackey cruising through this lineup.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Perfect. Sox can't score 1 against this damn team for whatever reason, much less 2

[jung]

This game has all the potential to make me sick to my stomach. I am not sure getting into this Angels bullpen does much for us. They seem to be able to roll out guy after guy throwing 95+.

[Station 13]

Weaver is about to be done after the 6th if they work the count.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Turning this piece of s*** off. Night fellas. Good news - we face two all star pitchers in Seattle the next two days. Lead in the East will be down to 1.5-2.5 by the ASG. Thanks, Snyder.

[Station 13]

Yuck. The game started off like the Sox were about to put up a touchdown.

[Jasonbay44]

This is awful...

[jung]

Well surely Synder's error sealed our fate. But Ueh gave up three runs before the ball was ever hit to Snyder. Farrell had been threatening to box himself into the corner he found himself in for the last couple weeks. He found himself needing either Taz or Ueh with both having been overused to that point. Sure I have offered that Miller's unexpected injury did not help but Bailey came in and picked Miller up in a situation where you would not likely have used Bailey. So, in truth Farrell still had himself boxed into the same corner, Miller or no Miller.

[jung]

Most of Napoi's hits are beginning to look like Iggys hits.
