8/16 vs NYY

[a700hitter]

Maybe the Yankee hitters will get exhausted tonight.

[rjortiz]

We really don't. We are tied in the loss column with the Rays having games in hand...not good.

 

I think they have got to and I mean got to get XB and even JBJ up here now. This is no longer a dynamic offense. It is a plodding offense but does not have the muscle to just bash the opponent into submission. They need young legs and some youthful dynamic play which is what they have not had without Iggy and JBJ....and what happens as I say that...Gomes...another plodder gets picked off.

 

They would have to go 4-0 to tie the division, and the Red Sox are still tied for first in runs scored. I know you are frustrated by their performance, but what you are saying just isn't true.

[dupree]

Lets just hope the Jays beat the Rays tonite. Its 2 - 1 Jays now Top of the 6th so everyone keep the figures crossed that they lose so we can keep or 2 game lead.

 

I would like to see a rally from us tho. That way even if we lose tonite it can ignite the bats for tomorrow nite.

[BigPapi]

Pettite has been hell on the lefties tonight.

[a700hitter]

I want to see the smug hypocrite cheater get knocked around a little.

[Station 13]

Well for our starting pitchers right now, if you think of the person with purely the best stuff, it has to be peavy. We dont have anyone active on our staff right now that has stuff that dazzles.

 

Lester has a lot of control issues. We touch it last time how he is near last in 1st pitch strikes. Doubront is down there too, it's why he doesn't go deep in games. I'm just sicken tired of hearing Lester gave the team a chance to win everytimes.

I would rather be tied in the loss column with games in hand than tied in the loss column with a lead in %.

[a700hitter]

This is painful tonight.

As with me. Pitch like a real ace lester. Go 7 COMPLETE innings and give them only a run. Be dominant.

it seems like 50% of the time he departs, he leaves base runners for relievers. It's been a habit with a lot of our starters.

Bingo. Thats exactly it. Peavy did it yesterday to.

[BigPapi]

O jeez

[jung]

None of them have been truly terrific lately. Peavy probably gave them the best start they have had in the last couple of weeks...maybe even the best two starts they have had out of his three starts.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

This is painful tonight.

 

Losing sucks, what's worse is Yankees fan coming out of the hole to talk so much s***. It's like where were you motherf***ers when we were beating the s*** out of your team. I despise these f***ers in Miami, I really do.

[Jasonbay44]

This is so pathetic

[BigPapi]

Butch was so awesome cause hed only let up at most 2 runs and would go 7 innings or more many times this year. We need that.

[jung]

Well there is the chance they will clean the slate tonight. They have pitched poorly in games of late, they have not hit in some and have fielded like s*** in some. This is the first one in a long time where they can't pitch, can't hit and can't field.

Hopefully they have hit rock bottom

[Station 13]

A catcher with more base running instinct than Nava to get his ass to 3rd.

The 1 hitter seems so long ago.

[rjortiz]

I would rather be tied in the loss column with games in hand than tied in the loss column with a lead in %.

 

The odds would be against you to tie the division. You have 100% chance of either being tied or in the lead after those four games in the Red Sox position. Your chances of winning four games in a row are less than that if you are the Rays.

[BigPapi]

It really does.

[jung]

Gardner is such a tool. You can depend on him for at least one idiot play like that per game.

That would only matter if the Sox were no longer playing. As long as the both teams are still playing, I would prefer to be the team with games in hand any day.

[Station 13]

I'm following gameday can anyone tell me what just happen?

[BigPapi]

I wish koji could start

[jung]

Nothing just happened...same thing that has been happening the last few innings....Andy the ******* seems to have our number tonight.

That doesn't change the fact that the Red Sox still have better odds to win the division as of right now. You would need to win more games in the Rays position.

2/3 of out hitters tonight hits sub .250 vs LHP

 

Simply awful. Bruce Chen gave them a nightmare.

[jung]

Our problems with LH pitchers sorta' makes sense. Naps can't get on track. WMB is still lost IMO. Gomes comes up big in big moments but he is no monster day in and day out. Salty's weak side is from the right....and I like Vic more from the Left than Right.... So there ya' go. If I were playing the Sox in coming weeks I would be scouring my system for LH pitchers. Heck I would throw every LH pitcher I had at them.
