5/12 @ The Not So OK A's

[Kimmi]

Justin "Master of My Domain" Masterson (2-1, 5.18 ERA) vs Drew "I've Completely Lost It" Pomeranz (1-3, 5.12 ERA)

 

It's always nice to start the west coast swing with a win.

 

Have to keep it going.

 

Mother Mojo times three!!!

 

Let's go!

[Thunder]

Day 3, let's go. I'm thinking we go 6-1 on the West Coast (King Felix is pitching one of the Seattle games, so I can't be too sure).

 

WIN

Over/under on BBs by Masterson: 5.

That reminds me of my Brad Penny joke from 2009. I said his last name should be Nickel, because he cost us 5 million for a 5 inning pitcher with a 5 ERA.

[Thunder]

First 8 in the lineup is the same as Opening Day, for once. Swihart obviously replaces Hanigan in the 9 hole, but Swihart is better offensively. We got our offensive firepower back (hopeully). Now we just need to hone in the pitching.

Sox win, but our old friend Josh Reddick goes deep and drives in 5.

"forget about Dorn because he's only high-priced."

[SoxHop]

This game could get fugly with these pitchers . . . . .

 

Kimmi..... I like your style, keep it rolling.!!!!!!!!

"forget about Dorn because he's only high-priced."

 

Now looking on you tube to hopefully see that scene because once you mention it it must be seen again.

[Northern Star]

Speaking of sleep, I once took part in a sleep experiment in Russia...

[d-money]

Get back to 500. Need to keep winning. GO SOX!

did you end up with an adamantium skeleton and claws that shoot out of your knuckles?

[Jasonbay44]

Justin Masterson is so f***ing awful. Please get him the f*** off this team

[d-money]

Too much inconsistency.

[SoxHop]

Masterston pulling the rope a dope approach, let them beat on you for a while before you fight back......... the only problem is THIS IS BASEBALL NOT BOXING!!

[a700hitter]

Without 90+ velocity, Masterson is a sitting duck. He needs to go to the pen. He should be the first rotation change.

[Station 13]

his pitch selection and lack of control with a 85 fastball is troubling.

[SoxHop]

Totally agree.....

[a700hitter]

I didn't think Coco had a shot at getting Napoli' s ball.

[SoxHop]

OK, that Coco catch has to be mentioned........ that was a pretty good catch....

[Jasonbay44]

Eric Sogard? Really? You f***ing suck Masterson

[a700hitter]

Masterson to the pen ASAP!

[Station 13]

Masterson to the pen ASAP!

 

he'd still throwing junks with bad control.

[Jasonbay44]

Masterson to the pen ASAP!

 

Just DFA him, he is awful

[SoxHop]

No way..... Wright warming up.

[Station 13]

Can't believe we past up Jake Arrieta last winter. He got like 2/20 I think.

[a700hitter]

Keep him as a long man for a while. Maybe he can succeed in that role.

Wow! There is one of the answers when people ask who Ben should have signed.

[d-money]

Same inconsistency as 2014
