8/30 v CHI

[Brennan]

Don't worry Papi, you'll see some good pitches with Gomes behind you...

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lmao fail. Looked like a ballerina

[Brennan]

Hahaha nice D pale hose.

[jung]

forty six pitches on one hit. What a laugh. Farrell should be ringing the dinner bell for the Sox hitters again tonight round about the 5th or 6th inning.

[Jasonbay44]

Victorino has been on fire lately.

[Station 13]

Ells can't hit lefties this year.

[Thunder]

Sox need runs here. This Santiago guy is nothing.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Hey NESN, stop praising the O's. I do not care.

[mvp 78]

John Rish sucks.

[Station 13]

Does anyone on this team hit LHP at all?

[mvp 78]

The forearm? John Rish, go away!

[Jasonbay44]

Come on Napoli

[Thunder]

Come on Nap!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Santiago is losing it, get a run across please.

[Station 13]

Napoli need to connect.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Walk him in please!

[mvp 78]

Damn, Nap should have had the green light on 3-0.

[Station 13]

A free run, we'll take it.

[mvp 78]

Does anyone on this team hit LHP at all?

 

Why swing if you don't have to?

[Jasonbay44]

Good s*** Santiago lol

[Thunder]

I'll take that, but we need hits.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yes!!

[jung]

Why did NESN but Rish in the booth tonight anyway? I don't get that. Gammons with Don and Eck would have been fun.

[Station 13]

Salty be patient.

[Jasonbay44]

Wasted a huge opportunity there

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

....lame

[Brennan]

Pathetic plate discipline.

[Brennan]

Napoli saw the pitch to drive and ignored it.

[Brennan]

On the other hand I can't blame the Sox for not hitting this guy much tonight, you would need a nine iron.

[jung]

As usual it looks like we will have to wait for the starter to get boosted to score some runs. This is why I call this a "tense" offense. Fans are constantly waiting for us to put some runs up. Starting pitchers are under a lotta' pressure because they are rarely pitching with a lead. However it is what the Red Sox do....and while it is a nervous way to play baseball...it has worked pretty good here in the regular season...at least coupled with our own starting pitching being really really good for the most part.
