7/21 vs Yankers

[wyo-sox]

Well said.

[BornToRun]

So close. More Yankee luck.

[wyo-sox]

....or we can not be reactionary fans and understand that Dempster's been pretty decent, but as expected, he will go through rough stretches.

 

Meant to quote this with my "well said"

[NativeBostonian]

Problem is he's the Red Sox third best pitcher. That isn't going to win you this division.

Aww. There goes my ego boost.

I think what we really need is for Lester to get his s*** together. He looked awesome to start the year but has been getting beaten like a rented mule for a months now.

Does that mean they should get rid of him? Because that's what you implied. Also, he really isn't. That honor would belong to Doubront, which isn't saying much.

Felix has been pretty awesome in all fairness. A total Yankee killer as well.

As it stands now without Buchholz out of commission:

1. Lackey

2. Doubront

3. Dempster

4. Lester

5. Webster/Workman/Fenway Janitor

I wasn't really being serious. That's even more of a frightening thought. The third best pitcher is someone who can't get through five innings.

I saw a tweet earlier this week, Napoli has SLG around .360 since the beginning of May. that's s*** is bad.

The only issue with Demps is that in the recent starts once he has been up in the zone or even up out of the zone, he has not been able to work out of it. Based on that history if he is up across a half inning sit and gets guys on base I gotta' go get him while it is still a ballgame. Farrell knows more about what he has in the pen than I do and maybe he feels like he has to at least get to the 4th inning or something like that. Surely since this is the anemic Yanks he might feel like he can go longer with Demps. However in truth Demps can't get anybody out when he is up like this. The longer he stays out there, the more runs the opponent will score.

Ouch. That's bad by pretty much every standard

Wells and Hafner both bailed Demps out there.

And right after this post Dempster immediately gets a lightning-quick, 1-2-3 inning.

[BornToRun]

Don't blow it. Gotta start putting some runs on the board.

[Jasonbay44]

Good start to the inning. Capitalize

[NativeBostonian]

Could've had three on that hit.

[BornToRun]

Better than the last outcome. Get it done Pedey

[BornToRun]

Could've had three on that hit.

 

Don't risk it when you're down 3 on Ichiro's arm.

[jung]

Sacrifice this early down 3??? I think I would prefer to rally thank you.

[Jasonbay44]

Not a fan of the bunt there.

 

Good s*** tho Pedroia

[BornToRun]

That worked out well. Keep the line moving.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice hit Ortiz! Get at least 1 more run here.

[BornToRun]

Napoli, now is a time in which you go all Pedro Cerrano on Sabathia's ass and launch one.

[wyo-sox]

Ortiz is such a great hitter.

[wyo-sox]

Ok Nap time to contribute.

[BornToRun]

Anything but a K or DP.

[a700hitter]

We need to get CC now.

[BornToRun]

Change up in the dirt.

 

Brace yourselves.

[Jasonbay44]

Napoli!!!!!
