Webster's K rate has been great. I remember how FOX Sports was raving about his swing-miss rate in the start against the Tigers, I felt that was a pretty good start for him (other than the first inning of course). Let's see if he can continue his recent success, I expect 6 innings of 8-K ball against this K-prone Mariners team.

[Thunder]

Webster's looked good recently, but Iwakuma (pronounced EE-WA-KU-MA) has been as good as King Felix.

Hopefully this won't just be Chapter 4 of "When Things Go to s***, They Really Go to s***".

Glad to see Shane back... But JBJ's back. Is Ells on the DL?

Jacoby is day to day. Doesn't sound like a DL situation.

[Thunder]

Jacoby is day to day. Doesn't sound like a DL situation.

 

So who did JBJ replace?

 

EDIT: Wilson to the DL, just popped up on my phone.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph ....can you imagine if each game since the start of the season was like the games we have had on this west coast swing...I would be f***in' suicidal by now.

[iortiz]

Well, Webster sucks. Nothing new here.

[a700hitter]

Well, Webster sucks. Nothing new here.

He doesn't suck. It's a small sample size.

 

We had to get something in the salary dump.

[WMB16]

4 losses in a row and counting

[italstallianion]

Makes me just want to lose the games until the All Star Break now so we don't have to actually play them and risk further injury. Then we can hopefully play the games back at home with a rejuvenated team and possibly a trade acquisition.

[wyo-sox]

Relax all. We are going to have some runs here and there of bad baseball. Does not mean all is lost.

[SoxSport]

Time to try DeLaRosa. Webster isn't ready. The worst thing is to get blown out of games early by your starter.

[italstallianion]

On the bright side if we lose road games early our team only has to pitch 8 innings.

[wyo-sox]

I said last night Dustin is really due for some homers

[Youk Of The Nation]

4 losses in a row and counting

 

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of Red Sox radio announcing a tie game.

[wyo-sox]

Ok Nap shock me here and be productive.

[italstallianion]

The other bright side is now we can go to bed on time on the East Coast instead of staying up late watching the Sox try to hold onto a lead.

[a700hitter]

On the bright side if we lose road games early our team only has to pitch 8 innings.

More sleep too. Oh, they are going to make it interesting. Napoli breaks out of his power funk to tie the game.

[iortiz]

Papi's a f***ing beast. He is pounding my fantasy team

[wyo-sox]

Ok Nap shock me here and be productive.

 

Thank you.

[Bellhorn04]

On the bright side if we lose road games early our team only has to pitch 8 innings.

 

But on the dark side, 5 of those innings might have to come from the bullpen.

[a700hitter]

Iwakuma is BP for our guys. They are beating him to a pulp this inning.

[SoxFanForsyth]

If the Sox win tonight they will not lose again on this road trip.

[italstallianion]

But on the dark side, 5 of those innings might have to come from the bullpen.

 

On the bright side, as long as it's not Breslow/Uehara/Tazawa getting injured in the bullpen then the 5 innings are likely coming from guys that are replaceable.

[wyo-sox]

If the Sox win tonight they will not lose again on this road trip.

 

Sir, ILL SECOND THAT

[iortiz]

Can we hold the lead... Please... Jeez!

[Thunder]

Sir, ILL SECOND THAT

 

I'LL THIRD THAT

 

 

Another big inning that I missed. All I can say is:

"Don't blame us if we ever doubt you (except Webster), you know we couldn't live live without you" and "The boys are back and they're looking for trouble"
