8/16 vs NYY

[RedSoxNC84]

I know it's not really related to the game, but it is NYY.. This cheered me up a bit.

The first pitch from Morales is a ball. Who is shock?

[BigPapi]

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.

 

 

Pettite hasnt been great this season, but you still gotta admit, most of the lefties he have played and struggled against are just really good pitchers and the sox never saw oberholtzer before. Andy has been nasty tonight. They certainly are not the best at hitting lefties, but a lot of the lefties they have struggled against were just flat out good pitchers.

They just haven't hit LHP that well at all this season, especially soft tossing lefties.. The only LHP I've seen them tear up was CC, and he's pretty good last time I checked.

What these LH pitchers are just good when they play the Sox.....weak hitting is weak hitting....Other than Pedey we really don't have anybody dependable from the right side...we just don't.... Maybe 700 is right. We might should have been more aggressive on Reynolds....although I don't think he would have been an answer for us.

 

Besides as usual with us it is the other side of the equation that is really sort of getting out of hand...that being the pitching.

Just start a brawl please. It's probably the only thing that'll make me feel better right now.

sweeet. Needed the bat rubbing between the legs and Jeter ass grab, though.

[a700hitter]

This whole thing with ARod has become a circus, but one thing is for sure. The Yankees are not worse off for having him on the field.

[Northern Star]

See, can't even do that right.

[a700hitter]

Stupid play by Ortiz, but Soriano is usually a hack in the Outfield.

[Northern Star]

Soriano out-Christing Christ at this stage.

[jung]

Jesus....we can't even do anything right when we do something right.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

No business going to 2nd, f*** being greedy. That was stupid.

Ortiz should be doing this for pure stupidity. Let that anger out big guy, smh

[yankees228]

This idiot has no self-respect. Yankees dropped him like a bad habit so they could woo Giambi. He should have had nothing further to do with them. Instead he comes back as if all is forgiven.

 

Lol umm what?

[Jasonbay44]

Good s*** Salty

[rjortiz]

Baserunning error looming pretty large right now. Hopefully WMB can bail out Ortiz with a bomb.

[jung]

Well getting into the pen has been our salvation lately. We are doing nothing against starters lately. Maybe it will be our salvation tonight.

[Station 13]

Ortiz getting thrown out look bad now.

[BigPapi]

Red sox are pretty much middle of the pack in the al vs lefties. Not bad, but not terrible. Plus, sox usually play very tough lefties and when you account only 25 percent of the pitching populace are south paws, they do get a lot of tough lefties. They did blow up joe saunders, who is a lefty, but isnt great.

[rjortiz]

Lol umm what?

 

Yeah, I was wondering what that was about.

[rjortiz]

That hit his foot.

[Northern Star]

Yeah, I was wondering what that was about.

 

Maybe it wasn't Giambi, because the years don't match up, but when it was time to talk new contract, Steinbrenner was going hard after someone else (a FA hitter) and little to no attention was paid to Pettitte and his agent. This was reported at the time and it's pretty obvious that Steinbrenner never liked Pettitte.

[Jasonbay44]

I really can't tell if it hit him or not.

[Northern Star]

So if this was 2014 would that be reviewable.

[BigPapi]

Not a strike.

[jacksonianmarch]

Carp going nuclear

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'm so f***ing fed up with these umpires.

[Jasonbay44]

f***ing ********

[rjortiz]

At least we got two that inning. Get two more the next two innings and the game will be tied. Simple.
