Ryan Dempster (7-9, 4.75 ERA)

 

Would really like to win the series and go to NY with some momentum. Usually have bad luck when I don't post pictures. I'm not home, but will try and edit before the game starts. You owe us a quality start Dempster. Lets get this win boys!

Ells is back in there tonight. That's all I'll steal from VA.

 

Game time: 7:10 p.m.

 

TV/radio: NESN, ESPN / WEEI.

 

Red Sox vs. Porcello: Napoli 4-12, Pedroia 2-8, Ellsbury 6-7, Ortiz 0-4, Saltalamacchia 0-4, McDonald 1-3, Middlebrooks 1-3, Snyder 2-3, Drew 0-3.

 

Tigers vs. Dempster: Fielder 11-42, Infante 3-13, Hunter 6-9, Santiago 0-5, Cabrera 1-4, Martinez 2-4, Pena 1-3

 

Stat of the Day: The Red Sox have allowed three runs or fewer in 13 of their past 14 games. They are 9-4 in those games.

 

Notes: The Red Sox wrap up their season series with the Tigers. The Sox have dropped four of six to the Tigers this season but lead Detroit by 1.5 games for the best record in the American League … The Sox have won eight of their past 10. The Tigers have lost five of their last nine … Dempster is making his second start since being suspended for hitting Alex Rodriguez. He went 6.1 innings and gave up three runs to earn a win over the White Sox Aug. 30. It was his first win since July 27. This will be just his third career appearance and second start against the Tigers, who along with the Yankees are one of the two teams Dempster has never recorded a win against. His only start against them came in 2002 when he was with the Marlins. He went seven innings, giving up two runs on four his with 10 strikeouts … Porcello has won three of his past four starts and has a 3.36 ERA over his last 10 … Daniel Nava has reached base in 38 straight starts going back to June 22 … Although he hit .322 in August with two home runs and seven RBIs and came through with the two-run single that decided the Sox’ win on Tuesday, Will Middlebrooks is hitting .194 (6 of 31) in his past 10 games with no extra-base hits ... Koji Uehara has retired 21 straight batters and has converted 12 straight save opportunities ... Jacoby Ellsbury (bone bruise on left hand) is back in the lineup tonight after sitting out Tuesday … Jarrod Saltalamacchia (lower back soreness) is out again.

Dempster has been able to turn over a lineup once reasonably well ... that second time is where things have been touch and go.

You go to school everyday? I only go to school Monday, Wednesday, Friday and those are the only days I can't work. So whenever I don't have school, I'm at work all day. Doesn't really leave much free time, but it is what it is.

Vic looked like he had no chance at any of those pitches smh

 

Maybe jung's right and Vic has reached the f***ed-up part of his right-on-right thing.

Nah, I actually only have school Tuesday/Thursday/friday it's just that I told my work I could work whenever except Tuesday and Thursday during day, until 5. So they scheduled me like every day the past two weeks. I work at restaurant and it's almost all college/high school kids who can barely work during school year, or if they are away at college, can't work at all. So during week we have almost no staff so they give me, and like 5 other people shifts every day. I finally talked to them and told them I can't work like that every week and they decided I can have off Fridays, Sundays and Mondays during school year, Which is perfect. IMO.

Was bound to happen sooner or later. Guys don't become switch hitters for no reason. I should know. Switch hitting is not as easy as it might look. When a batter commits to it usually it is with much consternation and certainty that like handed pitchers are going to eat him up.

 

The usual approach to the hitter that is really in trouble with the like handed pitcher is to throw breaking stuff inside which gets him looking there and gas on the outer black or even off the plate. Usually a guy decides to become a switch hitter because he has a real hard time recognizing the breaking ball inside and he too often either flinches or freezes. At any rate he (meaning I could not hit the thing with a boat oar) and he also is left vulnerable to being set up for the pitch on the outer black or even off the plate outside.

 

I did not see Vic's first at bat tonight but last night and the night before Fister and Scherzer both pitched Vic exactly that way and just murdered him so bad that eventually Vic tried one from the left side against Scherzer. Did not do well with that either and I can tell you that once Vic decides to move back over there, it will likely take him some time to get used to it again.

 

He probably should make up his mind pretty soon so that he is not left trying to deal with it as the post season starts.
