7/20 vs. Yanks

[Bellhorn04]

Lackey continues to amaze me.

 

Makes me think kinder thoughts about Tommy John, that's for sure. (John pitched for the Yankees in the 70's-80's and I hated him.)

Kuroda getting some Babip luck today.

[jung]

If we can just get two runs and put us out of danger for a solo HR, that could be enough today.

[Palodios]

Painful at bats... they need to take some friggen pitches. Lackey is going to have to tough this one out.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

In all fairness, they were both hit fairly hard.

 

I don't care if it was hit soft, take some f***ing pitches. He ways does that s***, not just today.

The first pitch is often the best pitch to swing at though.

[Station 13]

Lackey and Doubront just can't hold runners.

[mvp 78]

Nice play.

[Palodios]

Huge huge play by Drew and Salty.

[wyo-sox]

Great play Drew to Salty.... I know that kills lots of people, lol.

[BornToRun]

Motherf***er!

Well in truth, you can look up a study done by Stanford University that took all the results for all pitches in all counts for four full seasons. The worst count to swing from a hitter result standpoint is 0-0. However if you are guessing and guess right and have got a pitch in your wheelhouse I just don't think you can let that go by. For some guys that is middle middle. For others it is belt high inside or just below the belt.

[Station 13]

God, I hate that **** Brett.

[BornToRun]

God, I hate that **** Brett.

Seconded. He's f***ing annoying. His swing pisses me off too, he's just a bitchslap hitter.

[VA Sox Fan]

So glad this is the last season of McCarver!! Don't miss Buck not being in the booth today.

 

Alright offense, time to show up!!

AL hitters are hitting .336 this year when they swing at the first pitch. Ellsbury was hitting .400 swinging at the first pitch, before today's game.

[BornToRun]

Gomes ain't worth much vs righties but now would be the time for him to turn on one.

[BornToRun]

Salty if you screw this up I will end you.

[VA Sox Fan]

Thank you Mike Carp

 

And Johnny Gomes.

[wyo-sox]

Boy Cherries must be grinning from ear to ear every day this year.

[Station 13]

This would be a good time to take a lead or just tie it up.

[BornToRun]

Just don't GIDP.

Except when thoughts of Hanrahan, Bailey and Buchholz's current status enter his head.

[BornToRun]

How many heads will explode if Drew comes through?

[mvp 78]

I actually agree with McCarver on the K issue.

[Station 13]

Salty need longer limbs or a longer lumber?

Do you mean AB's where the hitter swings at the 0-0 pitch or do you mean instances where the hitter actually puts the ball in play 0-0?

[BornToRun]

Come on Iggy.
