7/31 vs Seattle

[Station 13]

Is matt thornton not sufficient?

 

He kinda stinks.

 

Miller show how much we're missing his breakout year.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Speaking from experience?

 

Haha, no. I actually wonder if anyone, ever, has died from a "shoving rotten food inside them in a sexual manner"-related infection. I imagine the statistics aren't kept.

How does a700 know how my ass smells? Food for thought.

[MANNYHOF24]

Is anyone else extremely worried about the back end of this bullpen going forward... Taz and Koji have been taxes extremely hard. As much as I love Koji I still don't know if I trust him to close in big spots. Panic attack!

Oh they have. They documented one such case in "1000 ways to die"

[italstallianion]

Considering that we were down 1 going into the last inning I think we should be happy we're still tied, now we just need to worry about taking the lead rather than coming from behind. We're a better team, at home, and have 2 more at bats (8th and 9th) vs. their 9th.

[BigPapi]

He kinda stinks.

Sure, hes had two bad outings. But dont give up on him yet. Just my opinion.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Oh they have. They documented one such case in "1000 ways to die"

 

 

I hope you aren't serious. You do know that the majority of the 'documented incidents' on that show are urban legends, right?

[BornToRun]

Haha, no. I actually wonder if anyone, ever, has died from a "shoving rotten food inside them in a sexual manner"-related infection. I imagine the statistics aren't kept.

 

I'm sure it's happened before. This is the human race we're talking about.

Let's hope Workman can take off some of his workload down the stretch. I hear that Contreras has looked good in AAA as well FWIW.

Yea I would prefer the Sox not preserve Workman for this long relief role they have been talkin' about. Would rather see him spell Taz before he just becomes useless from the workload.

[Disciples_of_Mueller]

Sure, hes had two bad outings. But dont give up on him yet. Just my opinion.

 

Agreed. He has looked good since the first two outings.

[crc2120]

Why PH Nava for Carp? WTF!?!?! I'm expecting a 1-2-3 inning now...sigh.

I'm completely okay with this scenario.

You're lying. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that the tooth fairy ain't real. Come on man, get serious.

[BornToRun]

His ERA+ is absurd and his WHIP even more so. I trust him completely.

[Disciples_of_Mueller]

We'll just have to walk them off. No problems.

[Youk Of The Nation]

The tooth faerie is real, he's actually Gary Bettman.

[Station 13]

Yea I would prefer the Sox not preserve Workman for this long relief role they have been talkin' about. Would rather see him spell Taz before he just becomes useless from the workload.

 

Taz fastball has lost 3-4MPH compare to last year. He might be pitching with an injury, who knows, the command and velocity isn't the same.

[MANNYHOF24]

His ERA+ is absurd and his WHIP even more so. I trust him completely.

 

I just worry about his durability down the stretch

[crc2120]

Of course. f***ing 3 up, 3 down...

[Youk Of The Nation]

Uehara has my complete trust. Not only have his saves been great, they've been uneventful. No nail-biting, no stress.

[BornToRun]

So, who launches the walkoff bomb?

[User Name]

You know what the best thing about Uehara is? He's been better than Papelbon.

[italstallianion]

Tazawa did only throw 9 pitches, I'd use him again for this inning, especially against a weaker part of the lineup.

 

 

Switching pitchers quickly can hurt us if this goes into extras.

[italstallianion]

You know what the best thing about Uehara is? He's been better than Papelbon.

 

A better pitcher, at a better salary, and let's face it, a better person than Papelbon.

[BigPapi]

Yes, very true. Well considering we had three legitimate 8th inning guys at the beggining of the season in tazawa, bailey, and koji. I wouldnt be surprised if you are right,

[Station 13]

A better pitcher, at a better salary, and let's face it, a better person than Papelbon.

 

You don't like those stares do you?

[BornToRun]

You know what the best thing about Uehara is? He's been better than Papelbon.

 

I think the best part of this fact is how much it irritates the Papelbon worshippers.

[BigPapi]

Ooooo. Nice play nappy

[BigPapi]

I think the best part of this fact is how much it irritates the Papelbon worshippers.

 

 

Hahahhaaaha you're right, it really does.
