Suppose I should make this game thread!

RHP Aaron Harang a vet who has been in the majors since 2002, yet I've hardly or never heard much about him. His career ERA is 4.25, but he's doing better than usual this year at 3.32. Should be an easy victory, right?

Aaron Harang? Didn't the Mets released him in March? WTF is he thinking pitching like he has?

Wrong!!!! No EASY victory---just let's get a victory hard earned or not. We'd love the former kind but our guys haven't dispensed many of those this year. Not so far anyway.

[NativeBostonian]

Go Red Sox! Lets get game two of the twenty game winning streak.

Random question but does reaching on an error increase or decrease OBP%?

[Jasonbay44]

He may not be the most talented player, but I like Brock Holt a lot.

I think it counts against your .OBP.

[Jasonbay44]

Good base running by Holt and good AB by Pedroia

[Jasonbay44]

I think it counts against your .OBP.

 

That's what I thought but it kind of doesn't make sense since he still reaching base.

[Jasonbay44]

Ortiz is getting f***ing screwed right now. How the f*** are those pitches strikes?

[NativeBostonian]

That's what I thought but it kind of doesn't make sense since he still reaching base.

 

It's the same thing as reaching on a fielder's choice (that also counts against).

[Jasonbay44]

I guess that's true. Fair enough.

 

Also, I haven't had a night off in a while so I haven't been in a lot of game threads but damn this site is dead. Nobody posts in game threads anymore?

[NativeBostonian]

Why does Heyward have that thing on his face?

[Bellhorn04]

That's what I thought but it kind of doesn't make sense since he still reaching base.

 

He reached base but he didn't 'earn' it - that's the concept anyway - like unearned runs for pitchers.

[NativeBostonian]

I guess that's true. Fair enough.

It has been very empty here. I guess that is what a 10 game losing streak will do.

[Jasonbay44]

Way to give the lead back as quickly as possible! Nicely done Lester

[NativeBostonian]

It's okay Lester. Get that s*** out of your system and don't give up any more.

[Wasatch]

Let's go Redsox, we need another win.

[NativeBostonian]

That wasn't close to the plate at all. But, I'll take the strike.

[NativeBostonian]

This home plate umpire's strike zone is huge.

[Palodios]

If Lester has another bad night on the mound tonight, maybe it would be a good time to get back onto the extension talks.

 

If he is a good night, it might also be a good time to get back onto extension talks.

[Jasonbay44]

This home plate umpire's strike zone is huge.

 

As long as he's consistent and calling it same both ways, it's fine with me

[NativeBostonian]

Please give Lester a contract extension. You're going to see him in pinstripes if you don't.

7 of our starters last year not present in lineup. Edited May 27, 2014 by Station 13

Grady is hitting again.

[Navafan29]

Thought Ross got a hit while looking at Gameday but it was someone else. Too good to be true.

Can't have one of those flashbacks to his Atlanta days when he was a good backup catcher.

[Palodios]

Monstrous double play there. Very very well done.

[Jasonbay44]

Good job by Lester working around trouble

[NativeBostonian]

That's what a ace is suppose to do; get out of deep s***.
