Red Sox vs White Sox 4/15

[jacksonianmarch]

The yankees are winning games with the dean annas and the solartes of the world.The sox cant just use injuries as an excuse.

 

Dean Anna is hitting .176, so he isn't really winning anything. Solarte has been awesome, but it wont last. We've gotten 80.1IP out of our rotation (6.2IP/start), our pen has been solid, and we've moved our runners well. Plus, we've had a fair amount of luck. We're still near the bottom in batting with RISP, and we've only scored 3.8 runs per game. It's deceiving, though. We've scored 32 runs in our 7 wins (4.6 per game) and only 14 runs in our six losses (2.3 per game). Strange indeed

Bradley can play defense and has a good head on his shoulders. Plate discipline is supposedly a strength of his although we haven't really seen it this year. He warrants patience. It's Nava who needs to go, and Carp needs to be banished from the OF.

 

Bradley has a .385OBP thus far

[jacksonianmarch]

73 pitches through 3.1IP. Gonna be a long game for the pen

Frustrating watching peavy

He doesn't seem to have a putaway pitch tonight. He's getting ahead, but for some reason, he cant close the deal without a lot of work. His velo is down a touch, maybe due to the cold

[Wasatch]

Not really paying attention to this game, but everyone is wearing 42, so I say f*** YOU!

You have an issue with Jackie Robinson?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Wow, do both fangraphs and B-R not have a 'total pitches seen by team' stat anywhere?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Bradley has a .385OBP thus far

Nevermind! That by itself keeps him in the majors.

[Wasatch]

You have an issue with Jackie Robinson?

 

Yup, I see that s*** too many f***ing times in a year.

[Wasatch]

You have an issue with Jackie Robinson?

 

Don't believe in this politically correct s***.

[a700hitter]

If Peavy has a quick 5th inning he might be able to go 6.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Jesus H Christ gameday is the worst. I might as well pour maple syrup on my computer.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Yup, I see that s*** too many f***ing times in a year.

oh jesus

[d-money]

That was a s***** inning

[Wasatch]

oh jesus

 

He was just a baseball player, why do you have to say he was a black baseball player.

[d-money]

Jackson's innings are less stressful

[Wasatch]

Let's go REDSOX!

[a700hitter]

I would send Peavy out for one more inning.

[NativeBostonian]

Yes and martin luther king jr was just a public speaker.

[Youk Of The Nation]

He was just a baseball player, why do you have to say he was a black baseball player.

 

He was the black baseball player who broke the color barrier. Despite death threats and opposition from fans, players, and even his own teammates, he went out on the field and played baseball. He was a small part of a larger movement. A movement dedicated to bringing equal rights for every American citizen to the forefront of the law. We celebrate Jackie Robinson Day once a year to honor and remember the bravery and commitment of not only Robinson, but all of the people of every ethnicity who were part of the Civil Rights movement. It's a single 24-hour period of the 162-game baseball season given over to an honorable purpose: the celebration of human courage, decency, and social progress.

 

But yeah, you're really edgy, dude.

[jacksonianmarch]

Bogaerts cooling down. They're going away from the fastballs with him and he's having trouble.

[d-money]

Too easy for jackson

[Station 13]

peavy got a violent motion. A tendon in his shoulder come completely off years ago.

I agree. He wasn't just a black baseball player, he was THE black baseball player chosen by Branch Rickey to do the unthinkable. He entered the league at a time when you could "lynch a n****r" for looking at you the wrong way. He was prepped, he was threatened, he was galvanized and he came through as the guy who could do it and do it well. Let's say a hot head broke the color barrier and he jumped into the stands at the first person who threw something at him, it would have set back integration by a decade. Also, if he sucked, he'd have set back integration as the mongrols would have said that blacks couldn't play as well as the white folk. They aren't just celebrating the fact he was the first black ballplayer. They are celebrating the fact that in so many ways, he was the perfect first black baseball player.

[d-money]

Throw strikes peavy

[Wasatch]

Yes and martin luther king jr was just a public speaker.

 

Exactly!

[d-money]

Falling behind.Asking for trouble

[d-money]

f***! Get him out

[jacksonianmarch]

Peavy's motion is violent, but it's the cross body motion and abrupt stop to his arm that makes one wonder how he hasn't done more damage to his arm in his career
