7/23 vs Rays

[jung]

Really good start for Lester. Crossed Madden up completely. I would bet anything Madden had the Rays hitters all geared up for the two strike cutter that rarely came the way they were swinging. Not sure he threw more than a couple with two strikes. What happened Joe....outsmart yourself did ya'!

Papelbon lovers, are you still alive? Are you going to bump a thread? Anything?

"Fenway Park will stand as one" except for the 10,000 still sitting.

 

Nice win.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Oh, I see. You're too busy giving Koji high fives. #highfivecity

So Koji......better than Papelbon. Obviously riding on Mo highway

[Bellhorn04]

Wow, Tazawa and Uehara were their old magical selves tonight.

Wait until the next blown save and they'll come out like rats on garbage night in Bay Ridge.

He's repaving the road I think.

When Koji does this for 6 years we'll talk.

[Station 13]

Koji>Papelbon. Folks don't have 30 extra minutes to watch stupid stares.

That don't mean squat. What matters is who's getting it done right now. Koji's dominating, and Papelbon is dragging his ass through saves.

Papelbon would not good so good in the AL in the next 3 year if his K and stuff declines the way it has this season.

It's all about "this year" right? Then Uehara is better.

Watch out people! Someone here actually has a life!

[Bellhorn04]

I was joking with that comment. Koji is definitely better right now and I hope he keeps it up. But it's his 10th save as a Red Sox.

 

I guess Papelbon has turned into one of these polarizing things where you're on one side or the other with no middle ground.

[italstallianion]

I wonder if we needed Uehara in a 6-2 ballgame, but I'm happy with a division win nonetheless. I'm amazed how Tazawa/Uehara are two of the only relievers that haven't been injured this year.

$13 million gets you this: 2-0 record, 2.27 ERA, 20 saves, 5 blown saves

 

$4,250,000 gets you this: 2-0 record, 1.59 ERA, 9 saves, 3 blown saves(named closer June 21)

 

 

No idea who these guys are. Based on those stats, who would you guys pick? We have a boob as a GM, so I'd like to hear it from the couch GM on talksox.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Well, we are talking about now. Go ahead and bump a thread and explain how much better Papelbon is. Don't worry, I'll wait right here/

[mvp 78]

Stats are the tools of Babylon. The most important part of being a closer is having great entrance music. That's why Foulke was so dominant...

I was too lol

Koji has saved them this year. He's the guy who deserves a rest day.

Uehara was a great signing. But to be fair, Ben also acquired Bailey and Hanrahan and paid them a pretty good chunk of change for nothing.

[Station 13]

Ryan Madson got a save last night in AAA, he might be worth a look.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Well I didn't expect the injuries to happen, but you are right.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

As of right now, every other team in the AL East is losing. We have a chance to pick up a game on everyone.

Well you let me know when you find a foolproof method to forecast injuries, at least in Hanrahan's case. Because Bailey (who was acquired last year) was a walking injury long before they traded for him.

I think Hanrahan had some warning signs too. Anyway this is all just quibbling. I think Cherington did an outstanding job this offseason.

[Bellhorn04]

Orioles lose 3-2. They had the tying run at third in the 9th with no outs and Davis up and couldn't score.
