7/24 vs Rays

[dduncan6er]

Let's keep it rolling here. Looking for another solid outing out of Doubront.

[mvp 78]

This game is Doubs's. The last "s" is for shutout.

[Palodios]

Everyone has talked about David Price has come off the DL in a blaze of glory to lift up the Rays to a WS contender.

 

He beat the Astros. Then the White Sox. Then the Astros again. Then he gave up 4 runs to the Blue Jays. I'm unimpressed. So far, the Rays are 0-2 when facing the Red Sox with Price on the mound. Tonight, it will be 0-3.

Lets go Doubie. Keep the hot streak going

[Standing Room]

Felix has been so much fun to watch lately.

Every time Luke Scott makes an out, the baby Jesus smiles.

Fantastic inning by Doubront

[Standing Room]

That was pretty cool. Pedroia got a nice ovation as "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" was played when he stepped to the plate.

[jung]

Anybody know what happened to the Rays SP that got tagged right in the head...Cobb I think.....Is he still on the shelf or is he pitching for the Rays now also?

He's rehabbing in the minors. Only made it 2 pitches in his last start.

[Jasonbay44]

What the hell was that Gomes?

Hardest play in the outfield is the line drive right at you. I am embarrassed to say that when they stuck me in CF in an emergency in high school (I was an infielder but I was fast and had a good arm) the first one of those I had hit at me, went right over my head!!!! I actually came in a step. Had I backed up two steps it would have just landed in my glove. Uber---embarrassing.

[Jasonbay44]

This is ugly

[Station 13]

Doubront isn't going to win gold glove.

[Jasonbay44]

f***! With the way Price is throwing its going to really hard to overcome a 2 run deficit.

[jung]

Christ what an inning

[NativeBostonian]

The 5th inning explosion came early I see.

[crc2120]

3 runs against Price? Yeeeah this one might be over. Gomes and Doubront really f***ed themselves over that inning...

[NativeBostonian]

I see we're working the pitch count again.

[Jasonbay44]

Price looks nearly unhittable right now... We may see another CGSO tonight.

Doesn't help when you swing at the first pitch.

[crc2120]

This sucks. Can't even get the ball put of the infield. Can we just fast forward to tomorrow?

[crc2120]

Even Loney is getting lucky chump hits. f*** me...

[Station 13]

Price need about 50 more pitches for a SHO.

[Jasonbay44]

Hey, a base runner

[Station 13]

Bye base runner. Hapless AB tonight.
